Tucked away in the stunning mountains of western Maine, Sunday River provided the perfect backdrop for Erin and Rory’s unforgettable wedding celebration. From the crisp mountain air to the sweeping views, every detail came together to create a day filled with love, laughter, and breathtaking moments.
From the moment Erin and Rory reached out to me to plan their wedding, I knew we were the perfect fit. Planning from the West Coast, near where I grew up, gave us an instant connection, but what truly stood out was their deep desire to make their wedding a heartfelt reflection of their lives and the people they cherished most. Every detail was chosen with intention, honoring their loved ones in the most personal ways. Their close-knit bond with family was woven into every aspect of their celebration, making their wedding not just a beautiful event, but a deeply meaningful gathering of love and connection.
On their wedding day, Erin carried the presence of her loved ones in the most meaningful ways. Her mother honored her by repurposing her wedding gown into a beautifully crafted pajama set and robe, a sentimental touch that added depth to the morning’s preparations. A cherished photo of Erin’s father was lovingly wrapped around her bouquet, ensuring he was with her in spirit as she walked into this new chapter of her life.
Before the ceremony, Erin and Rory took a quiet moment for private vows, allowing them to connect intimately before the celebrations began. Later, they exchanged vows trailside, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of rolling mountains and an endless sky. As Erin walked down the aisle on the arm of her mother, she radiated grace and love, a vision of elegance against the majestic natural backdrop. It was a moment that perfectly encapsulated the warmth, devotion, and deep family bonds that defined their wedding day.
Following the ceremony, guests made their way back down to the Grand Summit Hotel for a cocktail hour on the patio. Signature drinks, inspired by Erin and Rory’s love story and Maine’s local flavors, delighted guests as they mingled and connected. The reception space was adorned with lush greenery, candlelit tables, and elegant florals in soft, neutral tones that complemented the natural surroundings. Erin envisioned a wedding celebration bathed in the warm glow of candlelight. With careful attention to detail, we ensured that every space radiated the soft, flickering light she had dreamed of, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening.
From the youngest guests to the oldest, the dance floor remained full all night. The energy was palpable as the band played, drawing everyone into the celebration. Laughter and joy filled the air as guests embraced the moment, reveling in the music and the company of loved ones. Throughout the night, I overheard countless guests expressing how much fun they were having—a true testament to the love and joy that surrounded Erin and Rory’s wedding.
