Welcome to A Very ME Wedding. Mike and I got engaged on June 18th, 2012 at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse in Maine. I came to Maine with my family quite often as I was growing up, and when Mike came into the picture, I convinced him that Maine really is a splendid place. When it came … Continue reading
I have been a total slacker with this blog. I have full intention of putting together a round up of all our amazing vendors and our fantastic experience at Linekin Bay Resort, but time has not been on my side (silly day job!) I stopped by to make a quick post to brag a little… … Continue reading
I haven’t had a chance to update this blog since posting about the venues, because planning for the wedding (on top of my job and my main blog) has taken up so much of my time. I hope to update on our vendors shortly, but will wait until after the wedding to provide full reviews. … Continue reading
…Linekin Bay Resort! Mike and I just got back from a quick weekend trip back to Maine, where we sampled a few dessert options in Portland before driving up (down?) to Boothbay Harbor to see Linekin Bay Resort one more time. We wanted to see the rest of the accommodations and taste the food. We also spoke … Continue reading
In just 3.5 days, we saw 11 venues. It was a whirlwind. But our last stop was one I was excited about. We were going to visit and have dinner at The Whitehall Inn. The Whitehall Inn is a classic, beautiful inn that has been around since 1901. Many famous people have stayed there, and … Continue reading
When we first got engaged, I was toying with the idea of getting married in Maine. Maine was a place I loved growing up and easily convinced Mike to love so much that he chose to propose there. It was beautiful, romantic, and a place I always wanted to show my loved ones. It wasn’t … Continue reading
We drove down to the lovely town of York, ME and our first stop of the day was at Dockside Hotel and Restaurant. I find it odd that they call it a hotel, as it is really a beautiful and charming inn (see pictures below). The restaurant itself was quite nice, looking out over the … Continue reading
I did a LOT of research before our Venue Tour. I created a Google Doc and methodically collected information and narrowed down the places we would visit. But some things slipped through the cracks… including the fact that I thought The Contented Sole was right next to the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse (where we got engaged). … Continue reading
When I was looking for a caterer to do a clambake (a steamed lobster dinner that starts with steamed clams and usually includes potatoes and corn along with the steamed lobster), I came across Foster’s Downeast Clambake as a highly regarded caterer. I also noticed that they had a physical restaurant space that could hold … Continue reading
Here is an update on the 4 Venue Finalists. After a lot of debate, research, and soul searching, we decided that Linekin was really where are hearts were leaning. The fun vibe and the fact that everyone gets to be on the property with us, and it’s all ours, tipped the scales for us. And … Continue reading
Frontier is an art/gallery/dining/bar/movie screening/music space in Brunswick, ME. I first read about them in one of my favorite blogs for Maine wedding research, Love and Lobster. The space is quirky and fun and has a chef who is focused on Farm to Table dining. We met him, and he was incredibly enthusiastic about food … Continue reading
