The Stage Neck Inn

Wedding planning has been on hold due to summer tax season but now that the deadline has passed I can continue planning & blogging.  Since my last post a few wedding plans were made, notable securing the rehearsal dinner location.  During our scouting trip to Portsmouth & Southern Maine with the Andersens one of the places we visited was the Stage Neck Inn in York Harbor.  We all loved it.  The Inn is right on the water and the room where our dinner will be held has huge panoramic views of the beautiful Maine coastline.  I think it's great that part of our wedding festivities will take place in Maine too, as I have spent the majority of my life in the land of lobsters.  Speaking of which, we have decided to serve a New England Clambake for the rehearsal dinner.  Steamers, chowdah, corn, & lobster - a real Maine feast.  During the beginning stages of planning when we were entertaining the idea of having our wedding on Martha's Vineyards we had wanted to have a clam bake for the reception.  Somehow I had forgotten all about this, but when we saw it listed as one of the options, Mrs. Andersen suggested it for the rehearsal.  I think it will be perfect for our New England seaside wedding.  Can't wait for next summer!
