Some places are made for intimate weddings, and the exquisite Westbrook Inn Bed and Breakfast is just such a place. On the banks of the historic Pathogen River, the timeless boutique inn, built by a sea captain in 1876 for his daughter and her new husband, offers couples several romantic ceremony and reception sites, including a rustic arbor overlooking the river, a Victorian gazebo and a garden room with a fieldstone fireplace. Many all-inclusive package options include everything from elegant afternoon teas to seated dinners and cocktail hour-style parties. Special packages for elopements (for just the two of you or for up to 12 guests) include a ceremony, bouquet, wedding cake and other amenities to make your small gathering a huge success.
