Diamond's Edge - Cliff Island

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Diamond's Edge this summer and WOW, it was such a great experience. The rooms are great for getting ready in. The staff is so attentive and will gladly cart you around the island as you need it, and you will definitely need it with so much going on during your Diamond Island Wedding. Diamond's Edge provides a professional, efficient, and friendly experience. Highly recommended!

My partner Andrew and I were married at Diamond’s Edge Restaurant Marina in September of 2023 on what was one of the best days of our lives. Planning for the event began roughly a year earlier when, after returning to Maine to raise a family, we sought a wedding venue that would highlight the treasured coastal natural beauty while still being close to Portland. We came to find out that Diamond’s Edge Restaurant was the diamond in the rough we sought. Stepping off a classic Casco Bay Ferry onto the dock, you are immediately transported away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life into an iconic scene of Coastal Maine tranquility (and away from cell service! No cars are allowed on the island, resulting in a truly relaxed island experience. History buffs also have the chance to explore historic Fort McKinley a highlight we didn’t appreciate until after the fact. Whether your guests stay at the Inn at Diamond Cove, a vacation rental, or visit for the day, it will surely be an experience they won’t forget. The venue itself was remarkable on every front. The scene of a tent reflecting on the ice pond is stunning, only exceeded by the view our guests were treated to with the cove in the background during the ceremony The culinary experience was exceptional, and it was an absolute treat getting to choose from their diverse and rich options for appetizers, entrées, and drinks. But what sealed the deal was the amazing staff of the restaurant, marina, and inn. Their willingness to go the extra mile, find solutions, and focus on the details was so assuring, only exceeded by their commitment to Andrew I savoring every moment on our wedding day. Thank you, Colleen, Erik, Trent, Crystal, and your whole team!

Late season visitors should be prepared with warm layers or blankets if they intend to sit outside to enjoy the gorgeous island cove scenery. The staff was overextended across the dining areas during my visit, but otherwise attentive and accommodating. Service from the bar was good. The food was not up to expectations. Sadly the men's restroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned or tended to...ever. It's always a terrible experience when one uses the restroom to find the soap dispenser completely empty -1 Atmosphere .

What a nice tranquil lunch. Such a quiet and relaxed setting. We were lucky enough to get a table outside. The weather was beautiful and the food and service was great!

Absolutely beautiful restaurant. Had a table right on the water in the shade. They even grilled a chicken breast for my dog.
