Bec and Sam’s wedding at Josias River Farm was an intimate event with only close family and friends in attendance. It had the feel of a quiet family gathering with lots of laughter, conversation, and heartfelt connection. Josias River Farm is a 250-year-old Maine farm situated on 20 acres of land with classic New England stone walls, enchanting perennial gardens, white picket fences and a rustic barn. They were married in the garden, held cocktails under the apple trees while the sounds of bluegrass drifted through the air. Their lobster dinner and dancing was held in the barn.
