About Us
Rustic-Charm, beauty, & elegance
SaltWater Fields Event Barn is a 55' x 84' barn situated on the ocean's edge of the St. George River Estuary and only 3.5miles from Rockland. Dubbed "An excellent river" by Captain George Weymouth in 1605, Weymouth claimed our protected harbor as newfound land for England. Today, the sanctuary remains as serene as ever, boasting daily breathtaking sunsets and calm ocean waters. Our classic-barn design combines rustic and elegance with exposed beams, a fireplace, and numerous gorgeous chandeliers offering an event space and wedding venue with endless versatility.

SaltWater Fields will ensure a unique and memorable experience with versatility and lush accommodations both inside and out. Combine your vision with the SaltWater Fields Barn, our beautifully manicured gardens, and ocean frontage, and your event is sure to be stress-free and beautiful.

Meet Our Venue Owners
Tina and Jimmy Hendricks were married on the ocean in Freeport, Maine, in 2006. They blended two families and, against all odds, have learned and taught the true meaning of love. Recently, the couple searched for an event-barn to host a vow-renewal ceremony. Their goal was to celebrate their achievements as a couple and the loving blended family they each gained. Having no luck finding a barn on the ocean, they decided to build their own--they already owned the perfect piece of property. Their land was acquired by Jimmy’s parents, Burton and Irma Hendricks, over sixty-five years ago. The lot was split between all five siblings, and SWF’s eight acres remain surrounded by the loving Hendricks family. Jimmy and Tina Hendricks plan to continue the Hendricks family tradition of love, and they invite you to plan your special event on a piece of land founded by love over sixty-five years ago.
