In the small village of Somesville is one of the most photographed footbridges in the state of Maine! Founded in 1776 this village is the oldest settlement on the Island. Next to the footbridge is the Selectman’s Office founded in 1780. Somesville is also the entrance to Somes Sound with Norumbega Mountain to the East with Acadia and St Sauveur Mountains to the West. Imagine your wedding standing on this arched footbridge with the gentle rolling waters beneath your feet while looking out and seeing the ocean and mountains. 

On the Quiet Side of MDI is a rocky shoreline formed by large and small granite rocks. This seawall is approximately 4 miles from the center of Southwest Harbor down a winding road also called Seawall Road. With clear views of the Islands this location makes for a great spot to have a small but exquisitely beautiful wedding. This Seawall is also part of Acadia National Park and is within walking distance to Seawall Campground, Wonderland Trail and Ships Cove Trail. Picture your wedding on top of a large rock formation, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with large and small waves crashing against the rocks.
