We got married at the Envio on May 6 after 1.5 years of planning. The coordinator, Katryn, is amazing at her job and made everything easy to understand along the way. In our opinion the Envio is a great value for the area. All of our guests enjoyed their stay at the hotel, as well as the wedding itself from the contemporary design of the event space to the food and beverage!

Union Bluff Meeting House was the picture-perfect venue for our wedding! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the charm of York and the Short Sands beach area gave the whole day a nostalgic, small beach-town feel that we loved. From start to finish, the venue was incredibly organized and easy to work with, thanks to our amazing wedding coordinator, Annie Dalton. Annie is an absolute SUPERSTAR! She is so organized, on top of her game, and made everything run so smoothly. If there were any issues during the day, we still have no clue because she handled everything so seamlessly. Annie guided us through the entire day without ever being overbearing. She thought of every little detail—even when we went to collect our wedding cards at the end of the reception, she saw me carrying dessert and flowers to the bridal suite and immediately joked, "Lizzie, you're all set." She had already placed my bouquet in water, wrapped up our cake, and even prepared a dessert spread for us. Truly unreal! Leading up to the wedding, Annie was super responsive over email, which made us feel so comfortable and confident going into the weekend. I cannot recommend Union Bluff Meeting House enough—it’s a stunning venue—but honestly, Annie made the experience unforgettable. She is simply the best, and any couple would be lucky to have her on their team!

My husband and I got married here in September and I cannot say enough about Donna, Dionna, Chef Eides, and their team! We had the perfect day thanks to their help in the planning process and day of coordination and management. Our guests raved about the food, the bar, and most of all - the view. Not only was Dionna a partner in helping us secure our other vendors (who were 10/10 themselves!!), but she went above and beyond the day of to make sure every detail matched our vision. (You can see my face when we saw our reception space for the first time in the pictures.) If we had it to do all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing!

Awarded Best of Zola
Brewster Academy was the perfect place to host our wedding. First of all, the views from the spot are absolutely amazing - right on the lake, with a sunset view of the lake and mountains in the background. We loved having our ceremony and taking photos along the waterfront (and there are a bunch of different spots for photos). The use of the boathouse is great - it's a great building for people to hang out, store stuff, use bathrooms, etc. Everyone we worked with at Brewster was super organized, friendly, and communicative. We had nice weather, and our guests loved playing yard games outside of our reception tent. Plenty of room on the field for caterers to set up prep tents, etc. too. Highly recommend!

Growing up in Kennebunkport we had high expectations for our wedding at The Colony. Of course, the venue speaks for itself as the perfect backdrop for any wedding. No one will question that The Colony offers the best grounds and views for a wedding held in Kennebunkport. Our wedding was 130 people and the lawn (ceremony), front porch (cocktail hour), and ballroom (reception) were all great spaces for our guests. Our wedding day far exceeded our expectations and was truly a magical day for us, our family, and our friends. What truly set this experience apart was our wedding coordinator, Nicole. Her dedication, creativity, and organization made the planning process seamless and enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was tailored to our vision. On the big day, we felt well prepared, and Nicole orchestrated everything flawlessly, allowing us to focus on enjoying each moment without any stress. We cannot thank her enough for the work put in to making the day perfect! Also of note, the food and drinks were exceptional, and we still have friends and family raving about the meal several months after the event (we went with the buffet option). We will happily recommend The Colony to anyone looking to have their special day in southern Maine!

Choosing Camp Cody as our wedding venue was a huge decision and an excellent choice. Anna was so helpful throughout the process, and Dora was amazing weekend of–I never saw her standing still. The venue is so gorgeous, and being able to host our friends and family for a whole weekend made everything go by more slowly, with plenty of opportunities to connect with everyone. The Capture the Flag game we held morning of was a big highlight. The food was INCREDIBLE, and our guests haven’t stopped commenting on it. Everyone says you don’t eat at your wedding, and you better believe that was not true for us. As a person with a lot of food allergies, I’ve never felt more cared for and accommodated, and it was amazing to have that for our guests as well. In one notable moment, my cousin with celiac jumped with joy at the prospect of having gluten free pancakes and french toast for breakfast. The accommodations were comfortable, even in 30-40 degree temps overnight, the heat really works! Staying on site and not having to run around everywhere looking for everything and everyone made a big difference as someone without a planner. Also, arranging folks in cabins was not as stressful as we expected it to be. With our smaller wedding, we had plenty of space to spread people out. Thank you again to White Mountain Weddings for an amazing weekend!

Rita and the team were amazing to work with and made sure everything went exactly as planned. They had plenty of non-seafood options for us too and the drink menu was perfect with Maine beers and super fun cocktails. We were on the gorgeous upstairs deck and bar area which made for guests to mingle and meet each other. A big highlight was when one of the boats hauled in two tunas in view of the party, people were talking about it all weekend long! The welcome party was definitely one of the best parts of our entire weekend.
