Something Old, Something New... And Endless Ocean Blue

Ogunquit, Maine — The Cliff House Resort & Spa has everything the most demanding bride requires for a memorable destination wedding. Spectacular and secluded with a wealth of amenities and activities, The Cliff House on the southern coast of Maine offers a dramatic ocean-side setting and classic resort experience with all the romance of a distant venue.

Poised on a stunning 70 acres atop Bald Head Cliff, The Cliff House is a unique romantic getaway. What makes it perfect for destination weddings is its proximity to Boston (just 70 miles south) and Portland (40 miles north). And its wedding-perfect amenities, from balconied guest rooms with views of the Atlantic where couples can enjoy intimate cocktails and appetizers in a private, romantic setting to a world-class spa where guests can enjoy exclusive body treatments featuring native Maine ingredients like blueberries, wild rose and juniper, as well as pampering manicures, pedicures and facials.

Distinctive cuisine celebrates Maine specialties with a range of inspired menus for the bride to select. Décor is gracious with that spectacular ocean-view backdrop. Spacious banquet rooms are designed and staffed to accommodate receptions as large as 225.

By day guests can enjoy the resort’s many on-site activities ... tour nearby villages like scenic Ogunquit or Kennebunkport ... take in the area’s celebrated shopping ... or enjoy a boat trip from a quaint harbor. By night, guests can enjoy the sound of the ocean and Maine’s intoxicating salt air.

The Cliff House has been the site of romantic getaways for more than 137 years when city visitors discovered the restorative qualities of the Maine coast. Then it was a major trip, often in private rail cars, with piles of steamer trunks, servants and pets in tow. Today, The Cliff House is easy to get to with everything the bride requires when she does. That makes it the perfect destination in 2009.
