Taylor and Joe’s wedding at The Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport, Maine, was a beautiful reflection of their love story and the journey they took to get to the big day. Weddings are more than just an event; they embody the couple’s unique path and deep connection. It was a beautiful blend of romance, personal touches, and the breathtaking scenery of one of New England’s most beloved coastal venues.
The Nonantum Resort: A Venue Steeped in Coastal Charm
Tucked into the scenic shores of the Kennebunk River, the Nonantum Resort provided the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable wedding day. Well known for its historical elegance and its waterfront views, the reception was held in the venue’s Tradition room, renowned for its warm ambiance, natural light during the day, delicate lights at night, and views of the harbor.
The Nonantum Resort is particularly special due to the impeccable service, attention to detail, and care that goes into making the wedding feel unique to each couple.
Kennebunkport, Maine is itself a picturesque town that is rich in New England charm, making it an ideal wedding destination.
Beginning of Forever
The road to Taylor and Joe’s wedding is one filled with warmth and personal touches. Their proposal was intimate and sweet – Joe asked Taylor to marry him at home, inspired by the episode of Friends where Monica and Chandler got engaged. This touching proposal set the tone for a wedding day filled with sentimentality and love.
All the planning and hard work brought them to October 8th, 2023 – the morning of the wedding. Taylor prepared for the big day in her parents’ hotel room and Joe got ready at the resort, both surrounded by closest friends and family members. As a special tribute to a family tradition, Taylor chose to wear her mother’s wedding dress – a nod to the past while stepping into her future.
A Touching Ceremony
The couple exchanged their vows in a Catholic ceremony at the Parish of St. Anthony of Padua located in Westbrook, Maine. A pianist and violinist filled the room with beautiful music, tears and love flowing freely from family and friends as Joe saw his beautiful bride walking down the aisle.
Heartfelt readings were shared, and the special presence of Taylor’s 94-year-old grandfather was deeply meaningful to the couple and those around them. Their first kiss as husband and wife was a highlight, marking the beginning of their new and exciting chapter together.
A Reception Full of Love, Laughter, and Dancing
The reception at The Nonantum resort was a spectacular sight. With 238 guests in attendance, the celebration was filled with love, joy, delicious food, and unforgettable moments as family and friends came together to celebrate the couple.
The couple’s grand entrance led to a night of laughter, heartfelt toasts, and dancing. Their first dance to “God Must’ve Spent a Little More Time on You” was a beautiful reflection of their love, followed by a touching father-daughter dance and a special dance between Taylor and her grandfather to “The Way You Look Tonight.”
Guests were then treated to a plated dinner in the warm, inviting atmosphere of The Nonantum Resort. The evening’s events included an informal cake cutting, a blessing, and moments of excitement, joy, and awesome dance moves between friends and family.
A Celebration of a Lifetime
Taylor and Joe’s wedding was a true reflection of who they are—thoughtful, devoted, and full of love. Their story, from a sweet at-home proposal to a stunning wedding at The Nonantum Resort, is one that will be cherished forever.
