The Venue Saga Concluded

Ok internet. It is time to reveal the final choice for our wedding venue. And the winner is... dun dun du-dun:

The Asticou Inn!

Yes, this beautiful wedding venue definitely turned out to be one of the splurges in our wedding budget... but in this case, easy won out over cheap. Because we went with the Asticou, we now have at our disposal one very talented event planner named Tom who will make sure everything on our wedding day goes over without a hitch. He is responsible for pulling off beautiful weddings like this:

Our wedding ceremony will take place in that beautiful garden that I showed you before. Here's what it looked like on the day that we visited the Inn:

We will then have our cocktail hour up on the back deck of the Inn, overlooking Northeast Harbor.

Finally, for dinner and dancing we will be having a tented reception, just like we always wanted.

I am so excited for our summer-Maine-modern-elegant-garden wedding at the Asticou.

Is anyone else out there as excited about their wedding venue as I am? Are you also planning on taking advantage of multiple settings at your venue like we are (garden - deck - tent)?
