Nonantum Resort Wedding

We are so grateful for everything Kelsey McGrath did to make our wedding weekend at the Nonantum absolutely perfect! For the six months leading up to our big day, she was exceptional! Always communicative, responsive, and endlessly patient with our ever-changing questions and needs. Her reassurance and guidance throughout the planning process gave us so much peace of mind.

From the moment we arrived at the Nonantum, Kelsey was there making sure every detail was taken care of. She consistently went above and beyond, whether it was helping order lunch for the groomsmen, ironing out our welcome sign, or stepping in with anything we needed. She was on it without hesitation.

On the day of our wedding Kelsey brought such fun, positive, and joyful energy. It was truly a pleasure to be around her. You can tell she is genuinely excited for every couple she works with, and we felt so supported and cared for the entire time.

We recently visited Nonantum last weekend for the Christmas prelude- our first time back since the wedding. While we were eating breakfast, Kelsey recognized us and was so excited to say hello. With the number of weddings the Nonantum hosts each year, it meant so much that she remembered us. It speaks volumes about the level of genuine care and heart she puts into every couple she works with.

We couldn’t be more thankful. Kelsey made our weekend unforgettable and we highly, recommend her to any future Nonantum couple!

Perfect fall wedding at the Nonantum

From the moment we stepped foot on the Nonantum property we knew that this was the venue for us. Every step of the process, from our initial visit to our wedding day, was an absolute dream. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and I truly cannot recommend the Nonantum enough.

The venue itself is breathtaking. We were married on 10/11, and the backdrop of changing leaves along the water created the New England fall wedding we’d always imagined. We chose a tented outdoor reception and were lucky to have perfect weather, but it was incredibly reassuring knowing there was a seamless indoor backup plan ready if needed.

The staff at the Nonantum is exceptional. Our family and friends who stayed on-site couldn’t stop talking about how warm, helpful, and attentive everyone was. Throughout the planning process, communication with the team was constant and thoughtful—coordinating with vendors, arranging our tasting, finalizing the bar menu, and even providing a list of trusted local babysitters for guests with children.

The food and drinks were unbelievable. Every dish was served hot and exactly to each guest’s specifications. Several guests told us it was the best wedding meal they had ever had. Our raw bar during cocktail hour was a huge hit, featuring the freshest Maine seafood. As someone who is gluten free, I also felt incredibly cared for—their understanding of allergies and dietary needs was impressive and meant so much to me.

And lastly, our wedding coordinator, Kelsey. I would go through the entire planning process again if it meant I could work with her. She is smart, kind, organized, and endlessly helpful. As a bride planning the wedding on my own, I truly could not have done it without her. For the six months leading up to the big day, she answered every question quickly and thoroughly. People often say to expect at least one thing to go wrong on your wedding day, but with Kelsey’s calm, confident presence and true professionalism, everything went off without a hitch. I feel so lucky to have been paired with her.

We cannot recommend the Nonantum enough. Thank you to Kelsey and the entire team for giving us a day that was beautiful, stress-free, and so incredibly special.

Highly recommend the Nonantum as a wedding venue!

I had my wedding at the Nonantum this September and I can’t express how amazing my experience was from the moment I began the planning process. The events team is remarkable- Briana helped me every step of the way and was extremely responsive, proactive, and organized. She made a stressful process feel so easy! Meaghan took the reins the week leading up and the day of and was equally as impressive. I was even texting her questions and she would have answers right away. She handled everything perfectly during the wedding weekend, I didn’t have to lift a finger! The moment we arrived on site the entire staff was so friendly, helpful and made me feel like I was the only bride getting married this year, let alone that weekend. I can’t say enough amazing things about the resort and staff. I would highly recommend the Nonantum to anyone planning their wedding!!

Picturesque summer Maine wedding venue!

My husband and I had the best experience getting married at the Nonantum. We had a tented wedding outside and they did a beautiful job setting up our vision. They are very well connected and liked by vendors in the wedding industry and we used a lot of their suggestions. They also assign you a wedding coordinator. Ours knew every answer and made the whole planning process very smooth from start to finish. Our guests were also very pleased with the hotel accommodations. Highly recommend!

5++ Star Venue

We had the absolute best experience with The Nonantum as our wedding venue. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations and we could not recommend it more as a venue.

Our wedding coordinator, Kelsey, was phenomenal. She was so detail oriented and organized leading up to our wedding. Any time we had questions or wanted to talk through something, she was right there on the phone with us, and we always hung up feeling reassured and confident. On the weekend of our wedding, she was incredible! She was calm, collected, and making sure everything ran seamlessly. Before we even had the chance to think of something ourselves, she had already done it.

The venue itself is beautiful. Our ceremony was on the lawn by the river and our guests were in awe of the backdrop. Several people told us they had driven by The Nonantum many times and never realized how stunning that space is. It’s the kind of location that doesn’t need extra decorations because it’s naturally gorgeous. The ballroom was everything we dreamed of: airy, bright, beachy, and elegant. We also hosted our welcome reception at Latitudes, which was perfect. The string lights created the most charming ambiance and the late-night bites were a huge hit. At the wedding, our guests raved about the passed apps during cocktail hour and loved our signature cocktails.

The staff was outstanding. Every single person we interacted with was kind, attentive, and truly passionate about making our day special. From serving breakfast the morning of, to helping me with my train before I walked down the aisle, to carefully packaging our cake and delivering it to our room that night - they thought of everything. We felt so cared for all weekend, like true celebrities.

We cannot say enough good things about The Nonantum. If we could give them more than 5 stars, we absolutely would. They gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we are forever grateful. We can't wait to come back and visit on our anniversary every year!

Book this place now!! The Nonantum was everything we could have asked for! They are the BEST at what they do!! First, the location is unbelievable, right on the river and walking distance to Kennebunkport is the perfect location for guests and photos!! Second, their service is unmatched.

Our coordinator, Kelsey, was SO helpful!! Everything from the floorplan to the cake decorations were thought of and she was unbelievably helpful on the day of!! She's with you every step of the way from the moment you arrive! The food was incredible too! Our guests are still talking about the food & service!!

Dream day and venue!

My husband and I got married at the Nonantum, and we truly could not have had a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome — their warmth and professionalism set the tone for what turned out to be a perfect day.

Our dedicated coordinator was absolutely amazing throughout the entire planning process. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. Even with unpredictable weather, she handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without stress.

The commitment of the entire Nonantum team to making sure our guests were having a wonderful experience did not go unnoticed. Everyone went above and beyond, and it made the day feel even more special.

There is not a single thing we would change — we look back on our wedding day with so much joy and gratitude. Thank you to the entire Nonantum team for helping create memories we will cherish forever!

Magical Wedding Weekend

Our experience working with Ariel and the entire team from housekeeping to food staff to grounds was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and attentive making my daughter's wedding the most beautiful and magical experience. The setting was stunning and Ariel prepared a back up indoor ceremony for us in case the weather did not cooperate. We were able to enjoy the picturesque setting outdoors and it took our breath away.

Everything was perfect!!
