Weekend wedding vibes keeping everyone close is essential for our couples and families, and history makes it PERFECT. Sydney shared:

"It was really important to us, as much as it was feasible, to have all our friends and family in one place throughout the entire weekend! We wanted it to feel like we were truly having one giant sleepover with our most favorite people. The Samoset Resort was that and more. We were able to have our welcome party, ceremony, reception, and after-party all on various parts of the property. And let's talk about the property! I am from Maine and grew up going on daddy-daughter weekends at the Samoset with my dad and sister, Abby. It has always remained a special place to us, and we have fond and cherished memories from weekends spent by the sea, walking out to the lighthouse, and unwinding it what feels like a slice of Maine heaven. When I met my now husband, Drew, at Bowdoin College, it only felt right that we found a venue in Midcoast Maine, near to where our story started."

Making new memories in a place that holds so many beautiful ones already is bittersweet. Stories told, stories felt, stories never forgotten.

We had the absolute honor of planning and designing with this incredible family and vendor team to see this beautiful day through. Ellery was taken from this physical world much too soon, but she will forever live on through all those who had the privilege of knowing her. While I personally did not know this special girl and her family before this, I feel connected in so very many ways, and it's as though we have known each other all along. We are so very grateful for the many ways this experience touched our hearts, gave us strength, and allowed us to work so closely with this amazing family and absolutely fantastic vendor team. Without them and their kindness, this event could not have been as meaningful and as well executed. Every single one gave their very best so that the family could process this unimaginable and unexpected loss. Thanks will never be enough, and Ellery will live on in all of our hearts forever.

Words can't even describe the love I have for this crew. 2024 was truly one of the best years I have been so privileged to see through, with these humans (and non-humans), and our incredible clients. My heart is exploding this New Years Eve and all that we shared and endured together. These people make life in work and play infinitely better, and I could not be more grateful for the life we share.

Thank you so much to our hardworking vendor teams; we could never do this honorable and beautiful work without you. You are so loved.

Thank you endlessly, @zackbowen, for capturing our work and home family with such heart. We love you!

See you so good in 2025! Thank you so much for being here with us. Happy New Year to all ✨️♥️

I have a most energetic affinity for elf culture. This is my absolute favorite time of year for that reason-I can not get enough of the magic that comes with Christmas. With giving, sharing, being together, and, above all else, the element of surprise. Like Halloween, we're given this amazing opportunity once a year to be creative and be someone else for a day. Christmas is like a month of decorating, hosting, giving, and being with our loved ones. What could possibly be better? I KNOW: living like it's Christmas all YEAR, and that's been my goal in life and business. Santa is one of my biggest role models in life and has been the inspiration for our business model to date. I could write a book filled to the brim with stories that exemplify how we use elf culture in our business, but then... we'd give away our secrets! It's in keeping them therein lies the magic ✨️

Giving thanks today and every day for so many blessings: FAMILY, friends, good food, and fulfilling work. My grandmother's china is always a reminder of Thanksgiving years past and the reason why we do this very important work. Sharing this warm feeling of memories past, stories told over the 'good china' and the polished silver.

A big thank you to our Clients, staff, vendor friends, and our followers for being here. We love you all and hope your Thanksgiving was filled with more beautiful memories.
