Events by Allana Michaud

Dark Harbor Events was born from a simple belief; that where you celebrate matters just as much as how you celebrate.

Nestled on Islesboro, Maine; one of the most breathtaking and logistically unique islands on the East Coast, we specialize in luxury weddings and private events for couples and hosts who expect nothing less than extraordinary.

We're not a large planning firm with a one-size-fits-all approach. We're a boutique operation, deeply rooted in this island community, with the local knowledge and vendor relationships to make your event not just beautiful, but effortless.

We're currently planning exclusively on Islesboro, and we're intentional about that. Doing one thing exceptionally well will always matter more to us than spreading ourselves thin. Our clients get our full attention, our deepest expertise, and a planning experience that feels as good as the event itself.

Because the way you feel throughout this process? That matters to us just as much as the final result. Every detail of your event, every decision, and every moment is handled with a whole lot of love for what we do.

That's the Dark Harbor difference.

Hi, I'm Allana, founder of Dark Harbor Events and the person who will be by your side every step of the way. I was born on Cape Cod and grew up on Islesboro, so this island has always felt like home. I'm a proud wife to Tom and mom to our son Harper, and I bring that same love for people and place into everything I do for my clients.
