Maine Coon - Ceremony / Reception

Topside: The Inn on the Hill

Boothbay Harbor, Maine

I found this location because their card was on a bulletin board with a picture (see below) of their lawn overlooking the water. I think that this is the perfect spot for an intimate outdoor wedding.

Cape Cod - Cocktail Hour

So my idea for the cocktail hour is to go back to the Sea View and have my guests enjoy some cocktails and appetizers on their terrace overlooking conservation land.

If I didn't want to get married on the beach so badly, I'd definitely use this terrace for the ceremony!

Cape Cod - Ceremony

So I'd like to have my ceremony on the beach which apparently requires a town permit (small fee) but is only a short walk from the Sea View. The only host one wedding a day so I don't have to worry about timing but I do want my ceremony to be later in the afternoon so that it's not too hot for myself and my guests.

Not So Vintage Peacock - Photo Ops

Here are some photos from the Wildlife Habitat Sanctuary gardens where I would love to take pictures with my new husband!

We might just have to sneak away from everyone for a little while! (haha) Also I think our guests would love to be able to walk around the grounds while enjoying the cocktail hour.

My ceremony will take place in the formal gardens of the Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary of the Mass Audubon Society in Belmont, Ma

I want something simple for the ceremony. We obviously won't need any additional flowers added to the space since it will take place in a garden.

New Spain -Ceremony

My Ceremony:

I'm really in love with outdoor ceremonies and this seems to be one of the few outdoor spaces that the Coronado Springs Resort uses for meetings (I had to check the meetings and conventions page) and since it wouldn't be a big wedding, I think this space would fit our needs perfectly.

These are two locations on the Coronado Springs property where I'd love to take pictures. The first is in the main reception area and the second is on the property between guest room buildings:
