Success Stories
Flawless from afar
I recently worked with Rachel and the team at Experience Maine, planning an event from South Carolina. Not knowing the area or surroundings, Rachel and the team made planning our event seamless and easy. They made excellent recommendations and everything turned out flawlessly. I look forward to working with them again for future events!
— Heather Greenwood, Ashley Furniture Corporate
A vacation for everyone
Working with Rachel and her team to create the perfect family vacation was a delight. She was able to craft a unique experience for our family that everyone enjoyed. Brews and Arrows with Jeremy followed by A lobster bake by Chef Eva were definitely two of the highlights.
— Liz Patterson
Exceptional under pressure
When the hurricane remnants hit Maine and forced the cancellation of our activities on Friday you sprang into action and found indoor activities for our group and rescheduled activities for the next day. I’ve used more than 50 DMCs throughout my career and this is the first time I’ve felt compelled to write a note of thanks!
— Tim Wagner, President & CEO, Power & Communication Contractors Association
Local connections make the difference
Rachel truly goes above and beyond for her clients. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and thoughtfully designs and executes seamless itineraries from start to finish. Her network and local connections throughout Maine are truly exceptional and make all the difference in creating unforgettable experiences. Thank you for everything you do!
— Tarsilia Failla, Two Little Birds Travel
Our team wanted to stay
Rachel and the Experience Maine staff helped us pull together a fabulous corporate retreat for our team! From researching and selecting an ideal venue, to coordinating food & beverage, and planning and coordinating activities, they did it all exceptionally well! Our team was asking to stay longer and do more!
— Katie Greenlaw, VP, Public Relations & Influencer Marketing, Rinck Advertising
Maine beyond the guidebook
Experience Maine curated a truly memorable vacation filled with uniquely ‘Maine’ experiences for our group of 14 friends, many of whom were visiting Maine for the first time. Their knowledge of all things Maine was invaluable for helping us plan a week of fun-filled activities that we otherwise would not have found or been able to book on our own.
— Risa Alberts
Every dinner delivered
I had the pleasure of working with Experience Maine, and was introduced to Rachel in February of 2025, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she and her exceptional team delivered an absolutely flawless experience while helping us plan and execute three corporate dinners in Maine.
— N. Rodriguez, ASME
They thought of everything
They built an amazing experience for us and we recently just returned from our trip. It was amazing. Experience Maine provided us with daily itineraries, restaurant / shopping ideas, etc. and checked in with us daily and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. They took care of absolutely EVERYTHING.
— Jay Graff
Our vision brought to life
Our team loved working with Experience Maine! Both Rachel and Jordan were amazing and help execute our vision for our board of directors retreat perfectly. Not only were they wonderful collaborators, they became friends! Can’t recommend Experience Maine enough!
— Courtney Collard-Meltzer, Northrop Grumman
