Maine Weddings

For as many big and flashy weddings in tabloids and gossip sites, there are a few celebrities and socialites that prefer somewhere a bit more serene, and Maine weddings give them just that. The beautiful location adds privacy and a country flavor to an elegant and important day—something that everyone can take advantage of here at Point Lookout Resort & Conference Center.

Maine weddings have captured the eye of celebrity and socialite alike. The marriage of Marina Rust, New York socialite and writer, and Ian Connor, investment banker, took place in Duck Harbor, Maine. It was the wedding of the season, with flowers by the late great Robert Isabell adding to its charm and style: it received a very chic six-page spread in Vogue magazine (Dec 1999), showcasing the potential of beautiful Maine weddings.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter and American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi married long-time boyfriend Mike McCuddy in a beautifully intimate ceremony in June 2009. The couple married in the United Methodist Church across from DioGuardi’s house in Prospect Harbor, ME. She sported a Vera Wang wedding dress and 50 carats worth of Neil Lane diamonds, but chose Maine as the perfect wedding location because, as she told People Magazine in the spring of 2009, “it’s so natural, so beautiful, so calm, so accepting.” Maine weddings, away from crowds and pressures of East Coast urban areas, can give couples a chance to have a perfectly classy, yet peaceful day.

Ali Larter (of the show “Heros”) married actor Hayes MacArthur at his family’s Kennebunkport estate in August 2009. Their affair, as well, was small and intimate, with only family and close friends. The couple let the countryside speak for itself. White wooden chairs and floral accents in purple, pink, and white accompanied the breathtakingly green surroundings. The bride walked down the grass in an exquisite Vera Wang dress, showing that style and nature go hand-in-hand.

Maine weddings give couples from all walks of life the ability to combine sophisticated and pastoral elements into an exquisite and personal day. To achieve the same kind of rustic elegance that even celebrities crave, consider a wedding at our luxury resort Point Lookout Resort & Conference Center or on the private beach. It’s possible to have everything from lodging, transportation, and dining, to outings and kid-friendly events planned. Even celebrities need a break from chaos, and like them, you can choose to have your special day in one of the most beautiful yet peaceful location in America.
