The Reception

Following the ceremony, guests lingered around a nearby saltwater pool and enjoyed cocktails while the sun set over the harbor. Afterward, everyone headed to the Inn's Pemaquid Hall. The newly constructed space was only a few pilings and concrete when we visited the site nine months before the wedding, Amy remembers. Luckily, she says, the results were exactly what I had envisioned. High, gabled ceilings and oversized hanging candelabra contributed to the elegant ambiance, and keeping the tables near the enormous windows allowed guests to continue taking in the spectacular views. Outside, guests could stroll beneath a tented pavilion that was lit with white paper bag luminaries Amy had created and stamped with the couple's monogram.
