When we originally booked this venue, Mary Beth was the manager. She was unremarkable, but we didn't think much of it. She was able to help us find a caterer and she recommended a ...day-of coordinator (who we later relieved of her duties so I won’t mention her name here). Sometime last year, Nicole took over as the new venue manager. Do you ever get that feeling where you don't know you're missing something until you find it? Nicole is AMAZING, and she was the missing piece we needed. Last fall, a solid year before our event, I asked Nicole if she happened to be in the office that day because my parents wanted to see the venue. She said she could be there at X time (okay, fine) and then later told me she was running a few minutes late, the ferry got delayed. Wait, what?!? She had come back from Martha's Vineyard just to let us in for a viewing. She simply said, this is important to you and you should be able to do it. My parents and I were floored. And she didn't make it a thing, barely mentioned it. This is Nicole in a nutshell. She is so selfless, thoughtful, and hardworking that no matter what event brings you to the Loon Pond Lodge, you will have a wonderful experience. Fast forward to a few months before our reception, when Nicole stepped in as our day of coordinator because she understood that our vision was less traditional wedding reception, more (as she put it) "choreographed event." She was able to pull all of our ideas and elements together and make them flow into a day that was nothing short of perfection. So many of our guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we owe so much of that success to Nicole. We seriously cannot thank her enough.
