How many guests can the space accommodate?
The Nonantum Resort can seat up to 175 guests in our Ballroom and River Room. If your guest count is above 150, we strongly recommend a DJ for music services as opposed to a band due to space limitations. We can host up to 350 guests under a tent on our back lawn in the Portside Lodge Location overlooking the river.
What is included in the minimums/fees?
Unless otherwise noted, Food & Beverage Minimums and Facility Fees do NOT include outside vendors, overnight guest rooms, the State of Maine 8% tax or 20% service charge. Facility Fee does not include tent rental.
What does the facility fee cover?
Facility Fee includes: 5-hour use of location, weather back-up location (for tent receptions), set-up, breakdown, chairs, tables, china, glassware, flatware, bartender fees, standard linen rentals, bar set up (1), chef attendant fee, baker’s fee, use of Traditions (get ready room) for the day of the wedding, and a room for a private breakfast the day following the wedding.
What does the service charge cover?
The service charge is a fund that is divided amongst your waitstaff, bartenders and setup crew working the event. The service charge is not a gratuity for your wedding coordinator.
What are the limitations on decorating?
You are able to decorate however you choose, but you may not affix the décor to the walls or ceilings with nails, tacks, tape or anything that may cause damage. If you choose to decorate with candles, the flame can not escape the top of a glass vase. Alcohol bottles (full or empty) are not permitted to be used as décor or given as favors. Sparklers are not permitted. Event coordinators are not responsible for steaming any tablecloths, suits or dresses.
Do you have guest room blocks available?
With 109 guestrooms onsite, there is plenty of space for your guests to enjoy the Nonantum Resort!
When you book your wedding date, we generate a room block for your group that includes a multitude of room types and is appropriately positioned for your wedding.
What time does my reception need to end?
Receptions may only last 5 hours and all of our events have to end by 10:30PM.
Where do I need to go to get our marriage license?
Maine residents must apply in the town where they reside. The license is valid in any community in Maine for a period of 90 days from the date intentions are filed.
Couples who maintain separate Maine residencies must apply in the community in which at least one of them resides.
Out-of-state residents may apply in any municipal office. However, the Town of Kennebunkport issues marriage licenses to couples being married in Kennebunkport only. The license is valid for a period of 90 days from the date intentions are filed, and is valid anywhere within the state of Maine.
If one of the parties is a Maine resident, and the other resides out of state, both parties apply in the town of residence of the Maine resident. The license is valid in any community in Maine for a period of 90 days from the date intentions are filed.
