Couples choose their own caterer, planner, bar service provider, and other vendors for their events, allowing them to have complete control over the experience as well as the budget. Our Loved-Up Couples We are looking for couples who want a seaside weekend wedding that will feel like a vacation and reunion at the same time, with a celebration at the center of it all. They want to spend this time with a small group of their closest friends and family members, and they place a high value on spending quality time together. They want their weekend experience to be a reflection of themselves as well as meaningful to those who care about and admire them. They want their family and friends to feel cherished and honored as new connections and friendships are formed and grown together. Capacity of Our Organization Guests will enjoy more comfort and a better experience at French's Point because of the generous proportions of our event spaces, which are larger than the typical industry standard. The average number of guests at a celebration during the season is 50-100. Despite the fact that we have event space, parking, and public restrooms for much larger events, our standard capacity and pricing are based on events with 100 or fewer guests. In season, with advance approval, a Surplus Guest Fee allows for events with more than 101 guests up to a maximum of 150 guests in order to compensate for the additional staffing and wear on the estate caused by larger events. During the off-season, we can accommodate groups as small as 20 people.

The Asticou Hotel is a historic shingle-style property established in 1883 on 25 acres overlooking Northeast Harbor in Maine, just minutes from Acadia National Park's southern entrance. Originally a retreat for artists, writers, and travelers drawn to the coast, the hotel blends weathered coastal charm with understated refinement across 65 guest rooms — including suites in the Historic Main Building and standalone Harborside Cottages with waterfront views. Dahlia's, the hotel's signature all-day restaurant, anchors the dining experience with a seasonal menu rooted in coastal Maine ingredients, evolving from morning pastries and coffee through unhurried lunches to warmly lit evening service. Moss Bar offers a moody and intimate setting for cocktails and light bites, while the Cabana Bar serves poolside fare alongside harbor views. The outdoor pool is set amid the hotel's landscaped gardens and looks out toward the harbor. For groups and celebrations, the Asticou accommodates room blocks of 10 or more guests and partners with The Bar Harbor Club — a nearby waterfront venue — for larger events and weddings. The combination of a classic Maine setting, multi-venue dining, and proximity to Acadia's trails, carriage roads, and Cadillac Mountain makes the Asticou a distinctive destination for gatherings on Mount Desert Island.

The property features 850 feet of lake frontage on Maine's second-largest lake, offering a waterfront setting that has defined the estate for over a century.

A stone mausoleum, century-old rhododendrons, a carriage house, and a boathouse round out the historic grounds. After nearly five decades as a church conference center, the property was purchased in 2011 and restored to its original character.
