Celebrate
Mark time in an intimate place, tucked along the tranquil shores of Deer Isle, Maine—where time slows down and meaningful moments take center stage.
Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a weekend gathering, The Ark offers a calm, historic setting. Each moment can feel personal and unforced. Above all, celebrations here reflect your story—shaped with warmth, simplicity, and a sense of place.
Weddings and Elopements
Exchange vows by the harbor or Mill Pond, then gather with close friends and family. In addition, our setting offers natural beauty, thoughtful meals from our kitchen, and simple touches like local flowers or wine and champagne.
Small Gatherings
Our tavern, dining room, and cottages create an inviting setting for smaller celebrations. Whether it’s a family dinner or a weekend with friends, we help shape the details. For example, you can include seasonal flowers or carefully chosen wine selections.
Creative Retreats
The Ark is well suited for intimate creative retreats. Writers, artists, and small groups come here to focus. During the day, gather in shared spaces or work quietly in the cottages. At the same time, the landscape offers a steady source of inspiration.
