April 26, 2025 Bowdoinham, ME What started as a dating-app first date—cribbage and some brews at Maine Beer Co. in Freeport—ended up being a beautiful wedding at The Barn at Hatch Point, a unique and somewhat remote setting in Bowdoinham. “Brandon actually found the venue online, and we liked it before we even saw it,” says Megan. “The property is beautiful, and the owners were lovely to work with.” Megan says the lodging on site was a big draw for the couple, with five cabins and five “glamping” tents for the wedding party to stay in. Megan especially loved gathering…

Tara says she was looking for a dress with a whimsical, fairy vibe—but nothing over the top. The dress she found was flowing and romantic, with off-the-shoulder “sleeves” she added that had their own gossamer veils that caught the breeze. Tara says her bouquet was just what she wanted, “not too intense with flowers,” with lots of baby’s breath and blown-open roses. To top off the whimsy, she chose The…

It just felt right for our wedding. Austin and I are very relaxed and family oriented, very traditional—and we love wine!” The couple and 40 of their 135 guests were able to stay overnight in the River Crest Villas, 10 tiny homes right on the property, which Kayla…

And we wanted to do a Portland day for our guests.” That included an oyster-farm tour for family and wedding party on Friday, complete with freshly shucked oysters for a Seacoast treat. Whimsical touches were everywhere at their wedding reception. From the martini tower and suspended “flower clouds” to mid-century-modern paper lanterns and custom…

So doing a destination wedding and having park restrictions, we…

Guests also left…

Ariana Tuccelli + Flynn Donovan

September 20, 2025 Winthrop, MA What started as a search for an oceanfront venue turned into what Ariana and Flynn decided was the perfect (though not coastal) historic hotel—the Omni Parker House in downtown Boston. “We’re both into history, and this is the longest-operating hotel in the U.S.,” says Ariana. “Jackie O and JFK were engaged there. Once we saw it, we loved the charm of it all. We walked into the foyer and could totally envision ourselves there. In fact, we were one of the first weddings held there since they did their recent updates, including the new ballroom…
