A new season is almost here, and with it comes an entirely different way to experience a wedding in Maine!
Autumn weddings have their own personality here. The temperatures begin to shift, the landscape changes, seasonal ingredients make their way onto menus, and even the light can give familiar spaces a completely different feel.
But what makes this season special in Maine goes beyond fall foliage.
Fall in Maine is an entire VIBE. Consider everything you love about the Gilmore Girls rolled into one place! And your guests will thank you for deciding to have your fall wedding here.
If autumn feels like you, this might be your season. Grab a copy of Real Maine Weddings magazine on newstand, or explore our website.

Dinner doesn't have to be the default!
More couples are embracing brunch weddings, and there are plenty of reasons why a morning or early afternoon celebration might deserve a spot on your wedding mood board.
For a Sunday wedding especially, an earlier celebration can give you an entirely different atmosphere. Think natural daylight, brunch-inspired menus, daytime cocktails, and a wedding that immediately feels a little different from every Saturday night reception your guests have attended.
It can also give guests more flexibility at the end of the day, whether they're traveling home, extending their weekend in Maine, or simply enjoying a slower Sunday evening after celebrating with you.
Your wedding doesn't have to follow the traditional dinner-and-dancing timeline simply because that's what you've seen before.
Would you consider saying "I do" before noon?

From the Editor
As I write this at the beginning of winter, I reflect on the incredible 2023 wedding season. I am filled with the memories of events I attended, clients I worked with, and wedding professionals I collaborated with. It has been a great season here in Maine!
Real Maine Weddings hosted the 4th annual Maine Weddings EDU conference in October. We had record attendance and a fantastic lineup of speakers that included Chef Nettie Frank, Kunbi Odubogun, Jaclyn Watson, Terrica, and Marc McIntosh, as well as local pros, including Michelle Fratianne, Rob Labelle, The Wellness Connection, the State of Maine Liquor Bureau, and Jerry Bazata. Aisle Planner, Caron & Co, Life in Focus, M.A.N.E. Catering, and Total Party Planner provided invaluable sponsorships. It was great to spend two days with other wedding professionals, learning and discovering new ways to enhance local wedding businesses and make the experience even better.
Our team hopes that you enjoy the new Real Maine Weddings website. It is always exciting to see the scope and breadth of the weddings in Maine each season. The talent that goes into producing them and the smiling faces of couples, families, and guests are a heartwarming reminder of all that’s good in the world. We can’t wait to see what comes next!
Sincerely,
Reuben
