A Venue Perfect for Many Occasions!

Ever heard of Vinegar Hill Music Theatre? “ A gracious, historic barn, Vinegar Hill is an intimate venue that provides entertainers with a superlative, vibrant setting to showcase their talents. Featuring a variety of genres, like cabaret, classical, rock, folk, and blues, Vinegar Hill Music Theatre resides in the former Arundel Barn Playhouse, a timber barn known as the Smith Sister’s Farm. Located in an area of Kennebunkport’s Arundel, historically known as Vinegar Hill, the venue’s name honors that history.” This venue is one of the many places we frequent in Maine!

We set up a tent here for a colorful Bar Mitzvah for Joey! This day was coordinated and planned by the amazing Lani Toscano who handled the florals as well. Without Siobhan of Maine Tinker Photography we wouldn’t have these incredible shots to look at! This venue was the perfect home for our sailcloth set up that dinner took place under! Shout out to Kitchen Chicks for always dishing out some tasty meals. We loved the drink selections including Maine Blueberry Lemonade, Lemony Snickets (Sprite w grenadine and lime), and Tango Mango ( orange crush with mango and cherry) YUM — nice and refreshing for a hot sunny day!

Sperry set up in Scarborough, Maine Libby and Brandon

 

Prouts Neck

This beautiful day was featured in Classic Bride Blog!

“Libby and Brandon’s summer wedding in Scarborough, Maine, was a classic vision. The couple tied the knot by the sea at a private residence and a Scottish bag piper led a procession after the ceremony. The reception took place at Prouts Neck Country Club and Beautiful Days created a perfectly polished tent setting that looked like a dream come true. / Images by Brea McDonald. “

“Says Libby, “I grew up spending my summers in Prouts Neck and it has always been my favorite place in the world. When Brandon and I started dating, he began coming to Prouts Neck with me and it is now one of his favorite places in the world, as well. We got engaged in Prouts Neck and when it came time to plan our wedding, it was the obvious choice. To be completely honest, I have been planning my wedding in Prouts Neck since I was five years old and we did not look anywhere else. For style, we knew we wanted to stay classic. We loved lots of whites, greens, and neutral tones.”

“Libby’s advice? Don’t stress out. It’s the best day of your life, have the best time of your life. “

Brea McDonald always captures amazing shots of our sailcloth tents and she really out did herself here! Special shout out to Kate Martin of Beautiful Days for making our tent one to remember as well! We love how classy and elegant this wedding was and are thrilled Libby and Brandon chose Sperry to help their special day come together!
