We worked with Ariel at the Nonantum Hotel, and she was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she was personable, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She took the time 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!

Our coordinator, Briana, and all of the staff were friendly, beyond helpful, and made our big day flow absolutely seamlessly. Do yourself a favor and choose the Nonantum!

The Nonantum Resort was the perfect wedding venue! From the extremely friendly staff, to the exceptionally manicured outside, to the gorgeous views; it was everything you could want 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!

The most beautiful, incredible venue in the world! There are not enough words to describe how perfect our wedding day was - and that was 100% because of the Nonantum family. When we 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!

Fantastic venue, and fabulous staff! My husband and I had our wedding at the Nonantum this August, and we were ecstatic with how responsive and helpful the Nonantum’s team was both 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!!

My wife and I booked the Nonantum for our destination wedding in Maine and we are SO glad we did. It was a beautiful venue all around - the scenery, the hotel itself; it really felt like Maine which was important for us as a destination wedding. It was the first and only place we actually picture ourselves getting married. It was also important to us to have a place convenient for our guests to stay in relation to the wedding. The wedding went off without a hitch and the planning process was incredibly seamless leading up to it. People absolutely raves about the food, and in the days we were there the quality of the service was top notch. We cannot wait to go back for our next stay. If you want a beautiful, easy, and special wedding that fits your specific vision in southern Maine, look nowhere else!

We could not have made a better decision choosing to get married and have our wedding at the Nonantum.
Amanda is a great coordinator and incredible to work with. She helped us plan 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!

Andrew and I had the best experience from beginning to end having our rehearsal dinner & wedding reception at the Nonantum Resort. We specifically worked with Briana and Amanda and 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!

The Nonantum was the perfect place for our 14 person wedding in July! The team was wonderful from inquiry through our wedding day. We planned the wedding from states away without ever seeing the space in person but we didn’t worry about a thing because we knew we were dealing with pros. And we were right, the team brought our vision to life with an intimate ceremony and dinner party reception.

JUST THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! I am local to the area and have grown up loving the Nonantum. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and the resort makes a concerted effort to join in community 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!

We got married at the Nonantum last weekend. Our entire wedding was outside, we got married in front of the lighthouse and our reception and cocktail hour were "Portside". The day was more than we could have ever hoped for. The venue is right on the water and all guests (majority) rooms are steps away from the tent/celebration, making for a stress-free, fun, exciting, and joyful day. Ariel, our wedding coordinator, made sure everything went exactly as planned and we didn't have to worry about a thing!
The staff at Nonantum are exceptional. They really care and go out of their way to be kind and give guests a great time. We are so grateful that we had our wedding here and can't wait to come back in the coming years!

I simply can’t say enough good things about Nonantum. We were lucky enough to secure one of the last remaining Saturday dates in July and then we did the impossible. We planned our 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!!!!!

The Nonantum is truly a special place to get married and we highly recommend it if you’re looking for a coastal wedding! This hotel is one of the few, if not the last, independently 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!

The Nonantum is the ultimate wedding venue for any couples looking to have the perfect coastal Maine wedding. This was only the second venue we toured, but we knew that it was the one instantly. From the service to the food, the entire process was incredible. Briana Duca was assigned as our venue coordinator and made the entire process easy from beginning to end! She was unbelievably helpful, clear and communicative, especially in the months approaching the big day.
Briana and the entire Nonantum staff made our entire wedding weekend go flawlessly. Special side thank you to Esther and Jennifer for the kind words prior to the ceremony! Briana made sure communication was clear with our outside vendors all day and kept the entire wedding morning relaxing for both myself and my husband. Even when rain was a possibility, she kept us informed of the options without adding any stress. Her and her team brought to life our vision with all of the decor through their years of experience.
The food was absolutely incredible from the breakfast buffet to the wedding dinner. All of our guests raved about their dishes and the kitchen was on top of any dietary restrictions by our guests.
All in all, I wish we could do it all over again with the Nonantum! They are simply the best.

The Nonantum is the one and only venue we saw, and we loved it so much we decided to pick a date that was only 5 months away from when we saw it. From the initial meeting in December to our wedding day on May 26, 2023, the Nonantum was responsive and accommodating. We were assigned Amanda as our wedding coordinator and she was AMAZING. She went above and beyond and helped us sort through the craziness of wedding planning and made us at ease with our 5 month timeline. From the outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour to the inside reception, everything was perfect!! I hope a friend gets married here so I can re live it as a guest. It was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend!

The Nonantum is truly an exceptional wedding venue of course because of its incredible location and grounds, but mostly because of its dedicated, hard-working, and kind staff across 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.

Perfect. From start to finish the entire team crushed every detail. Our Coordinator Ariel was wonderful, she made sure everything went smoothly and was great to work with. The entire 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.

We could not have picked a more amazing location for our wedding than the Nonantum. The grounds are beautiful, the accommodations are lovely, the food is delectable, and the staff 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!

5 stars is an understatement! The Nonantum and staff were integral to our wedding success. The location is both stunning and charming, the food is absolutely incredible, the service 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.

We had an incredible experience with the Nonantum resort. Due to Covid, we rescheduled our wedding celebration three times and they were so supportive and accommodating. Tim is incredibly 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!

We just got married on June 4, 2022 and we are so ecstatic with the level of service across the board from the Nonantum team. Every single thing went absolutely perfect from getting 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.

We had our May 21, 2022 wedding at the Nonantum this past weekend and it was perfect. The entire Nonantum team takes hospitality to the next level. Everyone was always so friendly 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!

We cannot say enough good things about the Nonantum! From the moment we met Tim A for our tour it was evident that the Nonantum truly cares about each of their couples. Having high 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!

We got married at the Nonantum Resort this last October and it was absolutely perfect! Ariel T. was our wedding coordinator and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She helped 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!

Thank you, Nonantum, for giving us the best day of our lives!! When we got engaged, we knew that the Nonantum was going to be our first choice for our venue and boy, did they deliver!!! 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!!

Katie and Alex’s wedding on 8.7.21 at the Nonantum exceeded our expectations after nearly 3 years of planning, waiting and planning. Even before Katie and Alex returned from their 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!).

I’m not really sure where to begin. This is by far the best resort in Maine. We hosted a destination wedding durning a pandemic and I can tell you that Tim and the rest of the Nonantum 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.

The Nonantum is truly THE BEST. From our first tour of the resort, my fiance & I were taken with the charm and beauty of the property. Tim Ames was so knowledgeable and friendly, and 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!!

I have saved this review for last because it is so hard to capture just how AMAZING the Nonantum Resort is! When my husband and I were looking at different wedding venues around coastal 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!!

The Nonantum Resort is an incredibly special place and my husband and I feel so lucky to have gotten married here! Tim Ames is more than just a wedding planner, he genuinely cares 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.

I can not say enough positive things about The Nonantum! We originally booked in 2018 for a July 2020 wedding. In April of 2020 our outstanding coordinator Tim called to discuss our 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!

From start to finish, the Nonantum went above and beyond to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. We looked at several venues when we first got engaged, but the Nonantum stole our hearts. Planning a wedding from out of state (not to mention during a pandemic), Nonantum made everything easy for us with an on site coordinator, food on site, and the option to have the ceremony on site. Briana was the best coordinator we could have ever asked for. She always communicated updates with us, made sure we were on track, and made the wedding planning process completely stress-free for us. Both my husband and I had family stay at the Nonantum the week of our wedding and they were all blown away by the friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and the stunning location on the water. We couldn't have dreamed of our wedding being as amazing as it was. Huge thank you to Briana and the entire Nonantum staff for the very best day of our lives. We are already planning our first anniversary trip to come back! :)

We had to reschedule and change venues for both bridal shower and wedding for my daughter due to the pandemic. After considering multiple venues for the two events we settled on the Nonantum for both and were so pleased that we did.
With little lead time due to the rescheduling, Tim Ames and the staff at the Nonantum stepped up to the challenge and exceeded our every expectation. They are professionals who anticipated our every need and really relieved the stress of having scale down and re-plan both events. They tended to even the smallest details with cheerful and positive attitude.
Even though the wedding only had 10% of the guests on the original guest list Tim and his team made it special, intimate, beautiful, and a delight in every way.
The setting, the food and the service are all exceptional. Highly recommend for any size event. Well done Nonantum!

2020 has been a whirlwind - my husband and I originally planned a large July wedding in a barn, and that quickly changed to a small, intimate wedding at the Nonantum. And let me say - we feel so lucky and grateful that it turned out this way. Tim Ames, resident miracle worker/wedding coordinator, was absolutely incredible and he was so understanding and flexible throughout the entire planning process. We opted for a 25 person wedding outside overlooking the water, and it was perfect because of Tim and the wonderful staff at the Nonantum. Quite literally - all we had to do was show up, and the Nonantum handled everything. Beyond the team at the Nonantum, the resort is of course gorgeous as well and the food is delicious (try the crab cakes!!). I also had my bridal shower at the Nonantum a few weeks before the wedding, and it was the same top notch experience.
Thank you, Tim & the entire Nonantum team!

The Nonantum was absolutely the most perfect venue for a wedding. Tim, the Director of Sales and primary contact for planning, was extremely helpful, professional and responsive. We had to change venues last minute during the pandemic and he was able to help us pull it all together in 6 weeks! He was also extremely helpful in answering all of the questions that my mom had throughout the process and she said the moment she first talked to Tim, she knew it was the perfect spot. He was also very helpful in reaching out to all of our vendors to make sure everything was all set up prior to the wedding. It’s a great location to hold all of the weekend events. All of our guests stayed at the resort and we were able to have the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and campfire afterwards. The staff was extremely responsive and so kind; they made us feel right at home. The food was amazing and we got lots of compliments from our guests. Overall it was an incredible weekend and I credit the Nonantum with making it very stress free!

Jenna and the rest of the team at the Nonantum were so amazing to work with, we feel so lucky to have chosen to have our wedding ceremony and reception there! They truly know how to host a wedding and made sure every detail was taken care of for us. They were super responsive every time we emailed/called with a question, and they listened to every idea we had. The wedding planning process can be stressful but as soon as we arrived at the Nonantum for the weekend of our wedding we immediately felt so relaxed knowing we were in good hands and they would take care of anything that came up. For example, when I got a mark on my dress after the first look and before the ceremony, they came right over with chalk to help me cover it up. After the reception, they provide complimentary trolley service to shuttle guests to Federal Jack's bar for an after party which was the selling point for us - we knew our friends and family wouldn't be ready to call it a night after the reception! Overall it was an incredible wedding weekend in a beautiful place. Our guests can't stop raving about how beautiful the location of the Nonantum is, how great it was for guests to walk into town from the hotel if they wanted to explore, how great the food was and overall how everything went so smoothly. We can't thank Jenna and the Nonantum staff enough for making our wedding so incredible! Thank you!!

Having our wedding at the Nonantum Resort was the best decision that we could have made. Not only was the staff amazing the day of our wedding but they were also amazing during every other aspect of the weekend! We got SO many compliments from our guests about how at home they felt at the Nonantum and how they would want to return for just a weekend!
The wedding planning process was super easy. Brittani, our amazing wedding coordinator, helped to make sure I was on track and helped to calm my nerves when I thought I was really behind. We did everything over the phone or via email since I live outside of Boston but I never felt like that was an issue (and honestly, preferred it!).
One of our favorite parts of the planning process was the food tasting - it was one of the few places where we got to bring both sides of our family which we loved! We made a whole weekend out of it and our parents really enjoyed getting the chance to try the food with us (all the food is AMAZING, by the way!).
The day of the wedding was a dream come true. I was a little nervous because it did down pour the whole morning before our afternoon ceremony. I asked Brittani when we needed to make a decision by to bring it inside (since many places make you call it at 1 or 2pm) and she let me know that they would set up the outdoor ceremony either way and only set up the indoor if necessary. Long story short, it rained up until about 3:30pm and once it stopped, the staff wiped down the chairs so we could fulfill our dream of getting married outside! Brittani helped to keep me relaxed about the situation all day which I can't thank her for enough!
The day was SO easy for us and everything went smoothly. The food was AMAZING along with the Gluten Free desserts that had made because I have a gluten allergy. Brittani went above and beyond when I asked if we could start speeches a little ahead of schedule (I wanted more dancing time with the band!) and she made that happen for me by talking to the band.
We will never be able to say enough great things about the Nonantum and look forward to visiting them in the years to come!

We had our wedding at The Nonantum in October. If I had to describe the wedding with one word it would be perfect! We worked with Tim (who is incredible) and he made our day exactly what we had imagined and more! We did not have to worry about anything because Tim took care of everything.
The Nonantum's staff is so friendly and helpful! They made all of our guests feel so welcome and special. The kitchen was also able to work with many food allergies and dietary restrictions. I recommend The Nonantum to anyone looking to have a beautiful, stress free, perfect wedding.

We got married at The Nonantum on 10/4/2019 and it was such an amazing experience! I only have good things to say about the hotel, the staff, the food and the overall experience. Briana was our coordinator, she was super helpful and responsive, always getting back to my emails quickly and answering all my questions (which there were a lot of). We loved how everything could be customized to exactly what we wanted without hesitation or annoyance from the staff, they seemed to welcome new ideas and make them happen easily. All of the guests raved about how delicious the food was and especially loved the mini whoopie pie display that Briana and the chef arranged for us! The bridal suite was another high point for me, it was the perfect place to spend the morning of the wedding with all my friends. One thing I was surprised at was how every single person on the staff smiled and looked genuinely happy for us on the day of our wedding and went out of their way to make us feel special. All in all we could not be happier with our choice to get married at The Nonantum and cant wait to go back for years to come!

We planned our intimate 50 guest wedding in about 8 weeks with Jenna’s help! We could not have wished for a better wedding day. All of our guests were delighted at our light hearted elegant gathering. Lobster rolls and ice cream sandwiches for our lunch reception. The grounds are beautiful and the banquet room has the most gorgeous light. The hotel is quintessential New England, cozy warm and welcoming. The staff is amazing; welcoming and helpful. From the minute we got there to visit we were sold. Highly recommend whether you’re having a large or small wedding. The Nonantum will make it unforgettable.

If you are looking to get married in Kennebunkport, look no further than The Nonantum! From start to finish, The Nonantum staff exceeded all of our expectations. We hosted a tented wedding in August outside on the lawn with ~160 guests. As a type-A planner and perfectionist, I had high expectations for the service, set-up, design, and overall guest experience. Brittani, Tim, and The Nonantum staff were incredibly responsive, consultative, and accommodating throughout the planning process, providing helpful recommendations based on their experience and expertise to bring my vision to life. Coordinating multiple vendors (florals, tent, rentals, bakers, band, photographers, videographers, transportation, etc) can be a daunting task and The Nonantum made sure that all elements came together seamlessly on the day-of without a hitch. The setting outside is absolutely breathtaking (right on the Kennebunk river with the best sunsets you'll see in you life) and the venue allows for you to host an event that easily flows from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception -- allowing you to maximize your time celebrating with your loved ones! This was a huge selling point for us and our guests couldn't stop talking about what a perfect event it was. I can't thank The Nonantum staff for a truly perfect event that we will never forget.

There truly aren’t words to describe how perfect our wedding day was all thanks to Tim and the Nonantum staff! Tim worked with us closely throughout the planning process, always available for any questions we had and, as out-of-towners, always made himself available whenever we were able to travel up there. When you are planning a wedding and trying to coordinate with so many different vendors, it can be difficult to see how everything comes together on wedding day but I felt instantly at ease when I walked in to the Nonantum on wedding day. Absolutely everything was perfectly coordinated, set-up and run exactly as we had pictured. The staff was above and beyond friendly, accommodating and helpful – so many of our guests have raved about the great service they experienced! We had a few custom food and dessert requests that the team was able to accommodate with ease that really meant so much to us! We absolutely loved working with Tim – you can tell he is passionate about what he does and made us feel like we were his only wedding when we know he had plenty of others to coordinate this season!! We can’t stop talking about how perfect our day was and are so glad we picked Nonantum to be a part of our special day!

My husband and I had an intimate wedding of 20 guests in Fall of 2018 at the Nonantum Resort. With the Nonantum's help, it was truly an unforgettable weekend and one of the happiest moments of our lives!
Location - Absolutely wonderful! The lawn where ceremonies are held is right on the water, just a 2-minute drive to the oceanside where you can get some fantastic couples shots together. They provide a backup venue for the ceremony in case of inclement weather which is great!
Price - Affordable for intimate weddings.
Event Coordination - Every wedding gets an event coordinator. That was a lifesaver at the wedding! We had Catie T. She was always very responsive and organized. Catie and her staff took care of everything at the wedding - setting up the reception table with our decorations, setting up the ceremony site, playing the music for the processional, coordinating with deliveries, storing everything, etc. Catie has a very calm demeanor and doesn’t react negatively even when the people around are stressed. She clearly is very good at her job and I am very thankful that we had her!
Reception - Appetizers were amazing! We had a plated dinner and I have only heard positive comments about the food at the reception from our guests. The groom and I went out for photos at sunset and the staff actually put some covers over our food while we did that which was very thoughtful. The Nonantum was VERY good about handling food allergies. Our cake was served and they followed specific instructions about that perfectly. We had a small nautical knot on the cake and they even split the knot between the groom’s plate and mine. Details, people. Details. Catie hooked us up with votive candles for the reception and everything else we needed for the reception (linens, napkins, servingware, cake utensils, etc) which is a cost savings from other venues that require you to rent or bring your own.
Rooms - The rooms in Nonantum are much more modern and nicer than you would expect (old building!). I didn’t particularly like the bed in the “bridal suite” but that’s being nitpicky. The room had a great “fireplace” and mantel that was great for detail shots.
Reservations - Nonantum has an online area for brides/grooms to see which members of their party have reserved rooms. That is really nice and helped us keep track of guests! The reservations process a bit confusing at times and unclear. There were a few times I asked questions to the front desk/reservations staff and didn’t quite get a direct answer depending on who I got. The contract at Nonantum mentions that they will release your room block 60 days beforehand so that is important to remember. We didn’t and they don’t send you a reminder, so we messed that up for two of our guests. These were all minor things. I am only sharing for the purposes of honest feedback. But certainly none of these would deter me from booking the Nonantum!
Breakfast is really good! Included in the room rates for everyone and made everything easy. This is not a continental breakfast… this is a full breakfast with plenty of options to choose from. They also had gluten-free options (great for two of our guests)! Try the blueberry pancakes.
Overall I felt like we couldn’t have chosen a better option for our wedding. Nonantum takes care of all of the details so you can enjoy the day stress-free! I am very thankful to the Nonantum staff for making our day so special. Thank you!!

Five stars are not enough for The Nonantum Resort!! My wife and I were lucky enough to have both Dawn and Tim help us coordinate our wedding. They are two of the kindest people we've ever met; they made us feel like family from the very beginning and that extended to our families and friends throughout our wedding weekend. Dawn and Tim's enthusiasm and professionalism are beyond reproach. All questions or concerns, no matter big or small, were addressed immediately; we were never left with any worries. It is clear from the moment you step onto the beautiful grounds that every single member of the staff takes great pride in being a part of The Nonantum Resort “family"! So, so many of our guests made a point to tell us how very impressed they were and how truly welcome they felt to be there! As several family members have Gluten allergies, we needed a menu that could accommodate all. Everything that was served, from cocktail hour through dinner and the late night snacks served towards the end of our reception, was gluten free and all of it was AMAZING!! We are still getting comments from family and friends in attendance who say it was the best menu and food they had ever had at a wedding! Also important to note, and included in your stay, is a bountiful and delicious breakfast buffet served each morning for all guests! From the moment we arrived, through the last of us leaving Sunday morning, the truly thoughtful staff were there to take care of everything and we will never forget their kindness. We cannot wait to return every year to celebrate our anniversary.

We can't say enough great things about the Nonantum! We worked with Tim throughout the entire wedding planning process, and he did not disappoint. He was always available to answer questions and really brought our vision to life the day of our wedding. The venue itself was absolutely stunning and the food was amazing (we are still receiving compliments!). The only hiccup was at the end of the night, the complimentary trolley that was supposed to bring our guests to and from Federal Jack's made one trip (without the Bride and Groom) and never came back. The Nonantum ended up driving everyone that was left behind, but that was after security kept yelling at everyone to get off the sidewalk. We were told that it was Intown Trolley's mistake, but it just seemed like fingers were being pointed in every which way and it didn't fix the issue at hand. We just felt that someone should have addressed this issue better and we hope they iron out these issues for future couples getting married and they won't have to go through this same dilemma. We would still highly recommend The Nonantum and Tim to anyone looking to get married in Kennebunkport.

I don't even know where to start with this place--- I think everyone should get married here or host their special event here. The entire staff treats you like a member of their family rather than just another money-making event. Tim, our wedding coordinator, is one of the MANY amazing people who helped make our dream wedding a reality. They are always happy to meet and answer any questions, no matter how small. We never felt like we were anything but their main priority. And the venue-- so much to do for your guests and a free shuttle into town, great food including an amazing breakfast that's included in the room price. The poolside bar had great food and drinks.. I could go on and on. If you want a unique and classic Maine experience, this is THE place for you. Our guests can't stop talking about how beautiful it was, how good the food was and how nice the staff treated them! THANK YOU!!!!

I still get emotional thinking about our most amazing wedding! It couldn’t have been more perfect and I have Dawn from the Nonantum to thank for that! My husband and I got married in July with 150 of our closest friends and family! Working with Dawn was THE best decision I could of ever made when choosing our wedding venue! She was extremely friendly, professional, and organized! And even though the Nonantum hosts many wedding throughout the year, she made our wedding feel special and top priority! I can only imagine that she does this for all her brides - she is just that good! Dawn made the wedding process easy! I didn’t have to worry about anything the day of our wedding - I knew I was in the best hands! I couldn’t recommend the Nonantum and Dawn more!
Not to mention, the resort itself is beautiful and right on water! Food and drinks were amazing and the rooms were comfortable and clean! I can’t even put into words how amazing and perfect this place is!
Thank you Dawn and the Nonantum family for everything! We will be back to stay soon!

We got married at The Nonantum Resort in June 2017 and cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! Tim Ames and his team exceeded all of our expectations and were a pleasure to work with. There wasn’t one detail that they didn’t think about—Tim was even there to drive my husband’s grandmother up from the ceremony to the reception in a golf cart when he saw the long walk might be difficult for her. Our guests had a blast all weekend and raved about the food, friendliness of the staff and beautiful grounds. We absolutely love the Nonantum and will continue to visit in the years to come!

Let me start out by saying that our wedding was absolutely stunning. The Nonantum was a perfect location, and every detail was jaw-dropping. From the cocktail hour outside, the team setting up our tables and linens, to the incredible photo ops...it was awesome. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to enhance our experience every time we stayed on site. They made us feel like royalty! The Nonantum has become such a special place for my wife and I, and we plan to visit the rest of our lives.
Now, the wedding planning process was a different story. It's hard to say, because the staff was really kind, but it really put a bad aftertaste in our mouths. We planned our wedding from across the country, so communication was extremely important to us. When reaching out to our wedding coordinator, we rarely received any communication back. With so many details to arrange, it was hard to feel comfortable in the process. And after the wedding, when finalizing the contract, they misquoted us by $4000. Never a fun conversation to have. So I guess long story short, if you are planning to get married at the Nonantum, it's worth hiring your own wedding planner.
response 11/01/2017
With the utmost respect to the couple in the above review, I believe an accurate response ...
is warranted. I was the event planner for this wedding. When the original event planner took an offer of employment at another venue that would advance her career, I offered to step in and work with this couple. I adore them both. The wedding contract that was signed and agreed upon required a $25,000 minimum for the event. They were also required to provide a $4,000 deposit to move forward, which they did. Unfortunately during the input of data, two deposits of $4,000 were recorded when in fact only one was taken. In the end, they met their minimum exactly and all charges reflected the original contract agreement which they signed for and agreed upon.
When payment was due, at the conclusion of their wedding, they believed we should credit them $4,000 because it was listed as an $8,000 deposit even though that money was never taken from their accounts. I tried to explain, as did the owner of Nonantum, that it in no way had they been overcharged for their event minimum. In reference to the event planner (me) not communicating during the planning process. I answered every email, phone call, text message and provided my cell phone months in advance and asking them to call me with any question or concern. I had numerous conference calls at work and at home. Every question was answered in a timely fashion. On the evening of their wedding, as they were saying goodbye to guests, they both stopped me with tears and hugs declaring that it was the most wonderful wedding thanks to me. The following morning, as I was touring with another prospective couple, the groom interrupted our tour to extol all the many benefits of working with me and hosting a Nonantum wedding. I have great affection for this couple and I too look forward to their many returns in the future. I didn't feel their review accurately conveyed the time, effort and dedication that went into executing their event. I wish them well.

We cannot day enough great things about our wedding at the Nonantum!! Our wedding coordinator Meg was so great! She is super sweet and very responsive to the large amount of emails I would send her with various questions and made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. The ceremony grounds are absolutely beautiful if you’re looking for a scenic coastal wedding. The food was delicious, several of our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! It was truly the best day we could have ever hoped for and I would recommend this venue to anyone ! Thank you to everyone at the Nonantum for helping us pull off the best wedding we could have ever hoped for !
