Each and all of these are and could be an ideal location for your special day. What’s more, all are here waiting to become the setting of a special event. Maine’s Kennebec Valley provides a beautiful backdrop in any season for an ideal event, for people of all walks of life. Here are just a few ideas to consider: Destination Weddings A celebration of marriage here tops the list, mostly because of the pristine beauty you’ll find in every corner of our region. However, when planning a destination wedding it is critical to offer your guests some additional diversions to make the trip worthwhile, and from whitewater rafting to the cultural buffet of Waterville, we believe we’ve got you covered. Oh, don’t forget that we make an ideal getaway for a bachelor/bachelorette weekend or even a great destination for the honeymoon. Reunions of all kinds Whether you are looking to reconnect with schoolmates or family, or just pulling together a group of old friends for a camping, canoe trip or a couple days away with the guys (or gals), there is more than enough to keep every taste in your group occupied. Hunting (for game or antiques), sport shooting and ATV or snowmobile riding, taking a relaxing paddle trip or finding your way up a rocky mountainside together. We give you tons of options. Corporate Retreats and Team-building Events A way for you to get the group to connect, reconnect or maybe even re-reconnect. There is something about sticking a bunch of people out in nature that makes them come together. Add to that our ability to provide the kinds of guides, locations and gear you need to make it all come together and we think you may just be well on your way to the corner office. 24 For more about Special Events in the region, visit KennebecValley.org.
