Wedding websites for Ogunquit weddings

Ogunquit is a walkable beach wedding with a hard seasonal edge. Your website should be built around that, not around a template that has never heard of this town.

Getting married in Ogunquit

Ogunquit is small, walkable and almost entirely built around the season. The Marginal Way, Perkins Cove and the beach are all within a short walk of each other, which makes it one of the easier Maine towns for guests who would rather not drive once they arrive.

The thing your website has to handle is the calendar. Ogunquit runs hot from late June to Labor Day, stays good through foliage, and then a meaningful share of the town closes. If your wedding is in late October or later, guests need to know which parts of town will actually be open when they get there, and that is not something they can work out from a search result.

The trolley is the other Ogunquit-specific detail. In season it solves parking for your whole guest list, and almost nobody from out of state knows it exists unless you tell them.

What your Ogunquit guests will ask

Answer these once on your website and you stop answering them one text at a time.

🚎

The trolley

It runs in season and it is the answer to most parking questions. Put the route and the hours on your site and you will save every guest a headache.

🗓️

What is open when?

For a late-season wedding, say plainly which parts of town are still running. Guests arriving to a closed main street is an avoidable disappointment.

🚶

The Marginal Way

The cliff walk between the beach and Perkins Cove is the thing guests remember. It is about a mile and a quarter, and worth flagging as the Saturday-morning activity.

🅿️

Parking

Limited and paid in season. Guests staying in town should plan to leave the car where it is.

🏖️

The beach at high tide

Ogunquit Beach changes character completely with the tide. If photos or a beach ceremony are in the plan, the tide chart matters.

🛏️

Where to stay

In-town lodging is walkable but seasonal and priced accordingly. York and Wells are both close and often cheaper.

Getting to Ogunquit

Portland Jetport (PWM) is about 45 minutes north. From Boston, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
