Barn weddings on the rise in Maine

Already popular in other parts of the country, barn weddings are taking off in Maine. Oregon-based wedding planner Diane York, of Diane York Weddings & Events Inc., says she now gets more requests for barns than for coastal wedding venues. On the inside, some of the sites may look more like restaurants than barns – many brides don’t want to walk through sawdust or smell cows on their wedding day – but they still provide the casual, rustic charm many couples are looking for.
