Wedding Planning Guide
The Main House at Dragonwood in summer
Accommodations

On-site wedding lodging for your closest people.

The Main House, Bunk House, and separate couples Airstream offer distinct ways to keep part of your wedding group close.

The practical advantage

Keep your closest people on-site.

The Main House and Bunk House support different lodging needs. A separate Airstream is positioned as a couples getaway when available.

That can keep your wedding party or closest family inside the weekend instead of sending everyone in different directions. If your overnight list is larger, plan off-site lodging and transportation early rather than assuming a room block or shuttle is part of the venue.

Room assignments below are planning examples, not fixed packages. Final occupancy, accessibility needs, pet placement, privacy preferences, and any off-site plan should be reviewed with Carrie.

The overnight spaces

Three buildings. Three different jobs.

Think of the property as one shared home base with three distinct rhythms: close family and day-of preparation, the larger crew, and a quiet retreat.

Main House

Three ensuite bedrooms across three stories. The top floor has a king plus a setup that can become another king or two twins. The middle bedroom opens to a private balcony. The ground-floor queen ensuite and bathroom are handicap accessible.

Group lodging

Eight twin beds and four queen beds upstairs, with optional privacy screens for each queen. Downstairs has a full kitchen, living area, and gas fireplace. The second-floor balcony was built for stargazing.

The Airstream

Couples getaway

The original 2018 Airstream feels like its own little apartment, with a king bed, kitchen, private bathroom, heat, and air conditioning. The Airstream and immediate outdoor area are private; the water is about 100 feet away, and Secret Beach is shared.

Look inside

Pick the feeling before assigning the people.

Use the tabs to compare the character of each space. Carrie can help match the room setup to mobility, privacy, family, and day-of needs.

The day-of anchor

Ensuite bedrooms, a private balcony off the middle bedroom, a full kitchen and bar, and shared living space make the Main House the natural center of the overnight group.

The crew under one roof

The largest sleep count on the property. Privacy screens can be added around the four queen beds, while twin beds keep room assignments flexible.

The quiet corner

A private, self-contained couples getaway. Ask whether it is available for the wedding plan rather than treating it as an extra group bed.

Configuration ideas

Three ways the room plan could work.

These are conversation starters, not assigned packages. They show how the buildings can support different family structures and wedding priorities.

For guests staying elsewhere

Plan the beds beyond Dragonwood early.

Once the Dragonwood team confirms the current house-by-house lodging plan, any remaining overnight guests need a separate lodging plan. Ask separately whether the couples Airstream is available.

Dragonwood is in Parkman, about 75 minutes from Bangor and about 3 hours from Portland. For guests staying elsewhere, confirm the lodging location, pickup point, vehicle plan, and timing before invitations go out. Room blocks, shuttle providers, rideshare coverage, and travel times should be verified for your date rather than assumed.

A useful first draft
  • Ask the team to confirm current lodging fit across the Main House and Bunk House.
  • Ask whether the separate couples Airstream is available for your dates.
  • Choose off-site lodging for everyone beyond the confirmed on-site count.
  • Confirm pickup locations, drivers, timing, and accessibility directly with any transportation provider.
  • Share mobility needs and the property's gravel access with the Dragonwood team early.
What to decide before the call

Bring the people, not a perfect spreadsheet.

  • How many people need to stay on the property?
  • Who needs an ensuite, extra privacy, or ground-floor accessibility?
  • Will any overnight guests bring dogs?
  • Would the couple prefer the Main House top floor or the Airstream?
  • Who should wake up closest to the wedding-day preparation spaces?

Useful details

What overnight guests should know.

Arrival

3:00 PM check-in

Standard check-out is 10:00 AM. Earlier or later access may be possible by request and should be confirmed with Carrie.

Connectivity

Internet access

Internet is available across the property, but speed can vary with conditions. Confirm any work-critical needs before the stay.

Accessibility

Plan it early

The driveway is gravel. The Main House has a handicap-accessible bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Carrie can coordinate arrival and setup.

Your room plan

Tell Carrie who is coming.

A rough guest list is enough to start. Dragonwood can help turn it into a practical overnight plan around comfort, privacy, mobility, and the day you are building.
