Real Wedding
Written By Lauren Gertz

Cliff House Maine in Cape Neddick, Maine set the stage for Dori & Jose’s romantic coastal celebration filled with soft garden textures and timeless charm. The day began at Star of the Sea Chapel, where they exchanged vows surrounded by warm light, delicate florals, and their closest loved ones. The space created a serene, intimate atmosphere that perfectly aligned with their whimsical palette of neutrals, dark green, gold, and light blue. It was a beautiful blend of coastal simplicity and heartfelt tradition.

After the Ceremony, guests made their way to the Oceanview Terrace Salon for Cocktail Hour, greeted by sweeping cliffside views and the sound of waves rolling in below. Florals and décor brought a soft, romantic feel to the space while still embracing the natural beauty of the Maine coastline. The environment felt warm, welcoming, and elevated, offering the perfect transition between their chapel vows and evening celebration. It truly captured the essence of their garden-inspired aesthetic.

The night continued inside the Atlantic Ballroom, where candlelight, lush arrangements, and textured details transformed the space into a whimsical garden setting. The Larry Williams Band kept the energy high, filling the room with music that had guests dancing all evening long. To finish the night, everyone gathered at Nubb’s Lobster Shack for an unforgettable after-party. It was the perfect finale to a wedding day layered with emotion, beauty, and joyful celebration.
