Nonantum Resort

riana 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!  The front desk staff answered my many questions through out the weekend and with a smile.  The waitstaff at the resort gave me well wishes and recognized me throughout the weekend and made me feel special.  I even got a call the morning after congratulating me and asking if I needed any assistance.  I can’t say enough amazing things about the resort and staff.  I would highly recommend the Nonantum to anyone planning their wedding!! 

nected 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!

. 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!

istance to Kennebunkport is the perfect location for guests and photos!! Second, their service is unmatched. They are so accommodating and helpful as you plan your wedding, they make everything as easy as possible. Months leading up to the wedding, you're assigned a specific coordinator. 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!! Everyone here makes your wedding day special, and they make it as worry-free as possible so you can truly enjoy your day/weekend. I HIGHLY recommend!!

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!

tum is walking distance to town and the coastline which was great for guests to explore Kennebunkport and shop around. The staff was so kind and attention to detail oriented. The hotel staff also was so accomodating with my dad and grnadmother who both walk with canes and often need help with their bags. Overall, the best wedding weekend. Their coordinators made my wedding dreams come true! HIGHLY recommend choosing The Nonantum as your wedding venue!

ime to truly understand our vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life. Her attention to detail and dedication made our wedding day seamless and unforgettable. Beyond being an incredible planner, she is such a wonderful person, and I’m so happy to call her a friend for life. Thank you for making our special day so perfect!

were friendly, beyond helpful, and made our big day flow absolutely seamlessly. Do yourself a favor and choose the Nonantum!

t in a venue and more. All of our guests were so complimentary of the resort. We were assigned Nicky as our day of coordinator a few months prior. She was so fabulous and helpful throughout the planning process, and made sure the day went off without a hitch. The food was incredible, far from the run of the mill mediocre wedding food. We truly had the best day! Thank you Nonantum for giving us our perfect wedding weekend!

e toured the Nonantum a year and a half ago, we were blown away by the staff. Each team member introduced themselves as "My name is xxx, and I've been at the Nonantum for 5...10...20...30+ seasons" and we knew right away we found a very special place. You could just tell how proud they all were to work there, and how excited they would be to host your special wedding day. And that vibe continued throughout the entire planning process, all the way through the wedding weekend. We had over 175 guests, a majority staying at the Nonantum, and we are still fielding phone calls a month later about how incredible the people working at the Nonantum are. It's also very cool that the staff working at Heckmans, Latitudes, or even the daily breakfast buffet are the same folks working the actual wedding - so they truly felt like a part of the wedding guests, hanging out & enjoying the festivities WITH us all weekend long! Amanda was our wedding coordinator, and she is an absolute delight to work with. She was SO excited every time we saw her, and she made sure the day ran absolutely seamlessly... not to mention she dealt with our (aka my husbands) insanely longwinded pre-wedding planning emails, calls and hundreds of questions like a champ! Every response was timely, helpful, and made us feel like we were on track. Amanda, and the Nonantum team, think of the little details that you don't, and make sure every bit of the wedding matched our vision flawlessly. The Nonantum's mantra is "Where Traditions Begin" and we can certainly see why this is a place you return to year after year, and we can't wait to be back again and again and again!

during our wedding weekend as well as the year prior leading up to the big day. They answered all our questions with ease, met with us multiple times (we set up monthly zoom’s to ask questions and just check in prior), made our events flow so smoothly (including our rehearsal dinner at Blackrock Farm), and were so accommodating. Look no further for a wedding or event venue - The Nonantum is perfect!!

n the event and ensure we had everything figured out, like how many appetizers to have, which napkins to choose, where to place things at the reception. She was always happy to answer any questions and guide us in the right direction. At the rehearsal, she led everyone through the ceremony for the next day, alleviating any nerves. And on the day of, she helped coordinate everything, so that it ran super smoothly, even when everything was moved inside due to rain. All the staff who worked at the wedding were also amazing — helpful, friendly, and professional. The venue (we were in the ballroom) is a perfect backdrop for your vision come to life, and the location itself is right on the water and so beautiful. The food was delicious, like a fancy dinner out! Everything was fresh, high-quality, and flavorful, and the portions were a good size. The plating was also very nicely done. Some favorites of the night were the lobster, steak, lamp lollipops, and cookies. You can tell everyone at Nonantum puts a lot of care into what they do, and it really reflected on our wedding. Thank you so much for helping us have the best day!

cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They provided so much support in attention to details and ability to adapt to our various needs- definitely put us at ease with planning the most important weekend of our lives! Each of our friends and family commented on not only how beautiful the resort was but also how kind and friendly the staff were and how they felt right at home! (As the majority of our family and friends were from the deep South, this was not a mere passing comment!) Don't hesitate, book the Nonantum!

unity activities. Naturally when I got engaged, I thought of the Nonantum for all my activities. It was as perfect as I had hoped. Even though the wedding was on the weekend of Hurricane Lee (which ended up not being a big issue in the area) I felt so reassured that it would still be an amazing day no matter what mother nature threw at us. The Nonantum had back-up plans for back-up plans. The whole experience from tour to tasting to wedding weekend was excellent. Briana Duca was so helpful and made me feel relaxed as a bride. Everything was set up exactly how I envisioned, she was extremely communicative and all my questions got thoughtful and experienced replies!

wedding in 8 months from NJ and it could not have been more seamless. Amanda, our coordinator, made everything so easy. The Nonantum Resort is charming, beautiful and the quintessential New England venue. The only thing better than the Resort itself is the staff. Every staff member went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel comfortable. We plan on returning every year for our anniversary and are already counting down the days until we go back! Could not recommend more!!!!!

y owned and operated in Kennebunkport, and as a guest you can really tell the difference from the moment you walk in. Regardless of how busy they are, members at the front desk (Vicky and co) are incredibly inviting and kind. The Nonantum had a wedding Friday, Saturday, then ours on Sunday – but from our perspective, we could have been the only wedding of the weekend - they made us feel that special. Meagan was incredible in helping us design our signature drinks, signage, and execute mini espresso martini shots to be served with dessert. We had a lot of fun leaning into the bar elements with her leading up to our wedding. Briana was extremely helpful the day of ensuring everything went smoothly. And the staff, in particular Dawn and Kevin, were very accommodating and helpful throughout the day and night. We had a special moment after cocktail hour as Dawn walked us through the ballroom which was set up and ready to welcome guests for the reception. It was great to see it all come together, and the staff was very congratulatory and warm, making it an extra special moment for the two of us before the next phase of the night began. The lawn by the lighthouse (where we had our ceremony and cocktail hour), the food (apps, dinner and continental breakfast), the rooms, the pool, and the distance to Dock Square, all make it an incredible wedding venue. We could not recommend a more perfect spot to get married and we look forward to celebrating our anniversaries at this very special place!

s all areas of the resort. My husband and I got married in August 2022 on a fateful Friday night when minutes before our ceremony, the skies turned dark, and opened up with thunder, lightning, and the most rain I've ever seen in my life. The storm was so close, lightning struck a tree just outside the Nonantum and the power went out for about 5-10 minutes before I walked down the aisle. Thankfully, the generators kicked in and we were able to move forward with the celebrations. Throughout all of this, our wedding coordinator Tim and the entire staff at the Nonantum HUSTLED to create a romantic (and safe) ceremony indoors, move our guests out of the rain, and kept all ~175 guests comfortable inside during cocktail hour and the reception. Throughout the entire weekend of our wedding, the Nonantum staff delivered 5 star service, they were attentive and patient and so so helpful. I am most grateful to Tim Ames who is truly an exceptional person. He was an incredible support to my husband and I during the wedding planning process, promptly answering our emails and taking our calls, reassuring us often, and offering proactive ideas for us to consider. I want to call out one of the many things Tim did that made getting married at the Nonantum truly one-of-a-kind: my dad unexpectedly passed away 5 months before our wedding day, and Tim worked with me to find ways to honor my dad on the big day. I was anxious about how to incorporate my dad into the day, and Tim thought of the idea to print custom wine bottle stickers with a photo of my dad drinking his well-known, staple glass of chardonnay. We made our signature cocktail "Bob's Chardonnay" and each table had the custom wine bottle, and the bar displayed it with a sign and yellow flowers which were his favorite. Most of my wedding planning process was spent working through the deep pain of my grief, and somehow trying to think about this impending date where I would be happy to celebrate again. Tim made me feel supported by the whole team at Nonantum that I was able to get excited about the events and able to truly enjoy my wedding day with little stress or sadness - it truly was a celebration of my dad's life and legacy and the beginning of a happy chapter in my and my husband's new life together. Even with the biggest storm I could have ever imagined hitting minutes before our ceremony, I was not stressed, Tim had it under control. Tim looked after my mom's needs that day too, and of course, all of our guests. I know there were many people behind the scenes helping Tim, including Dawn and others, who worked incredibly hard to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams, and most of all, kept our guests safe and happy. I can't thank you all enough for your kindness, your hard work, and your patience. While I picked the Nonantum so we could get married by the water in Maine, I got an even more beautiful indoor wedding by candlelight, thanks to each person at the Nonantum. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

re staff at the Nonantum is truly one of a kind. We received SO many compliments on the staff which in itself says a lot. Many guests came up to us and spoke about how welcoming, kind and happy everyone there was. The food, the cake, the drinks, the location - everything was perfect. The Nonantum holds many weddings which makes them a well oiled machine (another pro) but they made us feel like we were the most important wedding they had. I am very detail oriented and can be a perfectionist and all I have to say is positive things about the Nonantum. You will not be disappointed! Highly recommend.

are simply wonderful! Everyone was so kind and helpful, and made every effort to make sure our stay/experience, as well as that of our guests, was special and thoroughly enjoyable. It was a day none of us will ever forget and the Nonantum was a huge part of that. I'd like to give a special shout out and thank you to Tim for being such an incredible coordinator - your help and guidance was greatly appreciated! We cannot recommend the Nonantum enough for an incredible wedding experience!

e is top notch, and the wedding cake baker Amanda is very talented. Even with all the obstacles that come with planning a wedding during a pandemic, we were met with flexibility and guidance throughout the whole process. We were so lucky to work with Erin Fralley and Mat Havrilla who helped us every the step of the way. Both are wonderful people to work with; very responsive communicators with attention to detail. It is clear that they are truly invested in planning each couples' wedding and their passion is evident in the excellence of their work. Our wedding day exceeded all of our expectations and we could not give a greater recommendation for the Nonantum.

redibly kind and helpful - he makes it clear that his goal is to give you the wedding celebration you want and he delivers on every promise! Our friends and family raved about the food - it was high quality and well cooked. The scenery at the Nonantum is a dream and it is super convenient that everything is on site, from rooms to parking to food and drinks! We appreciate everything they did to make our wedding celebration so memorable and can't wait to visit and stay with them again!

g ready to the ceremony to the reception. Our guests raved about the food and the level of service at each event we had all weekend. Briana was our coordinator and was short of nothing but amazing. She was always prompt when responding and organized our details so well in a shared doc so we could correspond quickly. She literally took our vision from paper and made it a reality. Thank you so much, Briana!! So many people made our wedding weekend so wonderful and throughout the whole time, they made us and our families feel so welcomed. Shoutout to Betsy and Esther for being so kind and helpful throughout our stay.

and kind. Our guests raved about the food, cake and venue. The breakfast each morning was also a highlight of our wedding weekend in Kennebunkport- so good! Our day of coordinator was Briana and she was very prompt at responding and organizing everything for the day to run as smoothly as possible. Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of her control, she was unable to be there for our wedding. She chose Ariel to step in for her and everything went smoothly! You can tell that Briana's hard work and organization leading up to the wedding and Ariel's experience and flexibility really made the day go well. Also a shoutout to John L the shuttle driver for being awesome and a good sport! We truly had an amazing wedding weekend and we can't wait to come back again!

ly excellent. Super easy to talk to and work with, and he made sure that everything was done perfectly. The food is also excellent - get the beef wellington as a passed app.

quality wedding food was a big must for us and boy did the Nonantum deliver. The Nonantum allowed us to personalize many menu details of our day and even helped us make and package our whoopi pie favors. We had a really positive experience with our wedding coordinator Matt H who went above and beyond for us. He was responsive and met with us many times in the weeks leading up to our wedding. Matt is the jack of all trades and even took care of placing all of our decorations in the perfect spot the day of! His humor was welcome and helped to calm us nerves the day of the wedding. The Nonantum staff takes pride in each of their weddings and I would highly recommend the venue to other brides and grooms!

elped us plan our day exactly how we imagined & more! She was super responsive to emails and on the day of our wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly. Additionally, the Nonantum was the most beautiful & accommodating venue - they even suggested a vendor list (which we used, our photographer Patrick McNamara captured the entire day!) we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding day with memories we will remember forever. Everything was 10/10. We can’t wait to go back and visit!

nce with Tim Ames. Tim is knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about his work. He is incredibly responsive and was a calming presence throughout our planning process. Tim is thorough and organized and made sure everything went smoothly on wedding day; he truly made planning a wedding out of state (and during a pandemic) easy for us! Everyone at the Nonantum is incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and we received so many compliments from our guests about their stay! Thank you Tim and the Nonantum for the wedding of our dreams!

on how fantastic the food was (especially the mushroom ravioli). All of the staff was so friendly and helpful, rooms were clean and charming. We do not have one single complaint about the Nonantum. Endless thank yous to Tim, we will be talking about our wedding day forever.

er!!! We've been going to the Nonantum for years now, and couldn't think of a better location for our wedding. We worked with the amazing Mathew Havrilla and had such an amazing experience. The weekend of the wedding, the entire staff at the Nonantum was so accommodating - ensuring our guests were all set with their accommodations, and just being so pleasant & friendly. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up accordingly and was so beautiful - the Nonantum really has the best views and ambience. The drinks & food were incredible and so many of our guests commented on the high quality of the service. If you are looking for a beautiful, coastal wedding venue - look no further than the Nonantum Resort - it will truly be the best decision you can make!! We can't express how amazing it was to work with Mathew Havrilla - he was such a large contributor to the best day of our lives and we can't thank him enough. Mathew was an absolute pleasure to work with, he was extremely communicative, detailed, and organized... even in the most crazy wedding year! We felt completely prepared for the big day because of all the great planning/communication with Mathew - he answered every single one of our questions and made sure every little detail was accounted for. On the day of the wedding, Mathew made us feel completely at ease - he had such a calming presence and really delivered on ensuring everything little detail was taken care of. Not only were my husband & I impressed, but our family also really enjoyed working with him and we looked forward to seeing him when we return to the Nonantum in the future!!

engagement (September 2018), Tom and I were in Kennebunkport looking for wedding venues. We stopped at the Nonantum for dinner and had a drink in the bar meeting Meagan Kaarto (Bar Manager) who enthusiastically described Nonantum weddings and we were hooked; this is what we all wanted! The next day Tim Ames, Director of Sales and Consummate Wedding Planner, gave us a tour but we needed Katie and Alex to agree, obviously it was their wedding. Katie and Alex looked at other venues in Kennebunkport but nothing compared with a location on the river yet near shops in town. We stayed at the Nonantum on a weekend in November and booked 6.27.20 (first available weekend). We began working with Briana Collard, Sales & Event Coordinator, to plan the perfect wedding and then the pandemic happened. Briana and Tim could not have been more helpful in forwarding Katie & Alex’s new date to August 7, 2021, the first day to match up with their ceremony at St. Ann’s. We were very grateful our Nonantum recommended vendors (Fleurant - florals, Sperry - tent, Double Platinum DJ - Chris Gordan, Patrick McNamara - photographer and Intown Trolley - transportation) rolled their contracts forward to the new date. Nonantum attracts the best vendors in the area who will give you great advice because they are familiar with the venue. During the next 16 months Briana checked in on us and then we began to plan the big day all over again but with new ideas. No matter what Katie and Alex requested, Briana was always positive. Can the baker make a tiered crumb Wedding Cake with fresh flowers and a Groom Cake in the shape of Texas? Of course! Can we arrive at the Nonantum in an antique car? Sure, we’ve done that. Can we have a sparkler send off? Absolutely, it’s a great ending to your reception. And the hotel van drivers will ferry your guests to and from your After Party (it was at the Pilot House). Briana made sure the wedding party and parents in the Bride and Groom Get Ready rooms got their lunches and beverages at midday; this is very important. And she even found Alex’s misplaced “Just Married Sign” for the antique car after a last-minute frantic search so the Bride and Bridesmaids could get on the trolley to the church on time. At the reception, our guests loved the individual pop-up tents along the Kennebunk River and great service from the bar at the cocktail hour (Meagan of course was there). Guests loved the food and commented on the excellent service at dinner, how did they know my name and menu choice? Actually, that was a question I kept asking Briana and she always said, “they will know”. Well the entire weekend was perfect from beginning to end with an outdoor tent and bar setup that rivaled a movie set complete with exceptional service from the entire staff. Our guests were impressed with the Nonantum, especially those that stayed at the hotel (this is a real plus). We all wanted a happy, memorable, and sweet day (in other words “perfect”)for their long-awaited wedding and that was achieved at the Nonantum. Most important, after all the years of planning, Katie, Alex, and their parents just soaked in the wedding weekend experience and let Briana and her staff take over (especially me, the perfectionist MOB - thanks so much Briana!).

ntum staff made it nothing but easy. Our wedding came together perfectly. Beyond the wedding the resort is gorgeous, the staff goes ABOVE AND BEYOND, the food is impeccable and the customer service is above the rest. Our wedding guests could not stop raving about how gorgeous the resort was, how amazing the foos was and our wedding cake made by Amanda at the resort was the best I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t spend another second thinking about booking another place. It’s perfect.

nd helped us secure the venue for our wedding on 8/22/21. We were then assigned Mathew Havrilla as our event coordinator, and there are not enough positive things I can say about Matt. Throughout the wedding planning process, I was constantly emailing/texting him with questions, and he was always positive, responsive, and accomodating to all our requests. When Hurricane Henri hit on our wedding weekend and threw a wrench into our plans, Matt and the Nonantum staff were prepared and pivoted flawlessly. I wanted to get a few photos in outside before the storm, and Matt literally chauferred our bridal party in a golf cart so we wouldn't have to walk in the muddy grass. Long story short, we moved our wedding indoors and it was absolutely beautiful. We got SO many compliments from our guests, and we could not have done it without Matt and his team. The Nonantum is such a special place and my fiance & I are already planning to return for our anniversary!!

astal Maine, truly nothing compared to the Nonantum. It stood miles above every other location in our eyes. My mom and I were blown away by the kindness and hospitality of Tim Ames, the Director of Sales, on our first tour of the Nonantum. Whenever my mom or I had questions or forgot something that was shared with us on the tour, Tim was there for us. My husband and I were originally supposed to be married in July 2020, but we worked closely with the Nonantum staff to move our wedding to July 2021 due to the pandemic. They were also incredibly accommodating with moving our room block from our old date to our new date so that our guests didn't have to rebook any of their hotel rooms. My husband and I had Briana Collard as our wedding coordinator and we can't speak highly enough of her. She is flexible, kind, understanding, and knowledgable. It had rained very hard the day before our wedding, and on the morning of our wedding, Briana was out in the wet mud setting up our decorations under the tent! She is a trooper! She communicated effectively with all of our vendors and they speak very highly of her, as well. She also was great at answering all of my last minute questions the week leading up to our wedding. One of the best parts about having your wedding at the Nonantum is that everything is right there: the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception, guest accommodations, local shops & restaurants, etc. Everything is in a one-stop shop - no unnecessary travel! Our guests loved making a weekend getaway out of our wedding and have continued to rave over how beautiful (and convenient) everything was at the Nonantum. There is also no need to hire a caterer because Nonantum provided all of the delicious food for our wedding - from the appetizers all the way to the wedding cake and late night bites. We hired all of our vendors based on Nonantum's recommendations, and they recommend only the best of the best in the industry who have worked Nonantum weddings before. I truly wish we could do the entire wedding all over again. My husband and I will most definitely be visiting Nonantum as much as possible because it will always remain as an incredibly special place in our hearts. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

about every couple he works with and he brings his heart and soul to the job every day. We booked the Nonantum in April 2019 for a September 2020 wedding and due to the pandemic, postponed our date to May 28, 2021. Tim guided us through the re organizing, re planning, and heart ache every step of the way. As we entered 2021 with so much uncertainty, Tim was unyielding in his positivity and made sure all our questions were answered. He was honest when things were unknown and he was comforting when our stress levels got high. After years of working with The Nonantum, our wedding day finally came and it was perfect! We were so glad we waited to have the day we had always dreamed of. We were married on the Nonantum lawn under a tent and it was absolutely gorgeous. Tim unfortunately had a family emergency and was unable to attend our wedding, so Matt and Brianna stepped in to help ensure our day went smoothly. They too were fantastic! Brianna was at my side all day making sure I had what I needed. I didn’t have to lift a finger on my big day, which made me feel so relaxed and allowed me to enjoy the most important day of my life. It was pure magic. All of our guests commented on the incredible service, the kind staff, and the amazing food! My #1 concern for my wedding was that my guests had a positive experience and boy did the Nonantum deliver. While planning a wedding during a pandemic is very difficult, we always knew we were in good hands with the Nonantum. We are thrilled to have this venue remain a special place for us for years to come. Thank you Tim, Brianna, Matt, and all the Nonantum staff for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. We are so grateful.

r options about postponing to a later date or moving forward with a reduced capacity wedding with covid precautions in place. Tim helped us weigh all the options and booked a new date for 2021 with ease. We got married on July 4, 2021 and had the most outstanding wedding! The day of was drizzling slightly but Tim helped us continue to have our ceremony outside and provided umbrellas to our guests! Every single detail was executed to perfection and we wouldn’t have asked for a better day, venue or coordinator!
