Julia + Ryan 
You couldn't ask for a more beautiful day than this. Though a potential storm loomed just off the coast in Biddeford Pool, the weather stayed perfect - the fluffy white clouds adding to the stunning backdrop. Julia + Ryan wanted to spoil their guests with fantastic food that showcased our local Maine seafood and produce in a country club meets garden party setting. Lobster rolls, oyster bar, pollock, and a whole mussels course during dinner was a feast from the sea. They also had us create a dessert spread with classic Maine treats to top off the night. Once again we were blessed with not only perfect weather but an amazing vendor team that made the day so beautiful and oh so fun.
