Question
What should I plan for meals?
Answer
Embracing the spirit of a campground wedding, we are excited to work as a community to serve meals throughout the weekend. Each meal will be led by a particular group of family members or friends, and there will be opportunities for others to help out if they would like. Friday: Breakfast - Overnight French toast, breakfast sausages, and coffee/tea Lunch - Soup and tortellini salad Welcome Dinner - Taco bar provided by Bird & Co. Saturday: Breakfast - Pancake and frittata breakfast with fruit, bagels, various cereals, and coffee/tea Lunch - DIY sandwich buffet with Cookie Time Bakery cookies Reception dinner - Wood fired pizza, charcuterie, and salad from Rustic Taps (https://rustictaps.com/) Sunday: Breakfast - Please note that there is no organized meal on Sunday morning, as all guests must check out by 11 am. However, coffee, tea, and any remaining breakfast materials from the weekend will be available to those who want to grab a quick bite. Good Life Market and Village Bakery (both in Raymond, ME) are good local options for breakfast on the road. Onsite walk-in refrigerator will be available to all adult guests so feel free to bring any snacks or additional food/drinks you may want.
Question
What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?
Answer
We hope to provide tasty options that accommodate the needs of all our guests (vegan, gluten-free, etc.). Please let us know of any dietary restrictions or allergies as soon as possible so we may plan meals accordingly.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
The welcome dinner on Friday is casual, so feel free to come as you are. For the ceremony and reception on Saturday, the wedding party will be wearing floor length dresses and suits. We imagine folks will be anywhere in the festive/cocktail/dressy casual range, but ultimately wear whatever you feel most comfortable and happy in! For footwear, please note that (weather permitting) the ceremony will be held outdoors on a grassy lawn.
Question
What should I expect for alcohol?
Answer
Kingsley Pines allows BYOB for guests throughout the weekend. However, in accordance with Maine State law, for the catered meals Friday and Saturday night, guests will only be allowed to consume beverages served by the bartenders while the bartenders are onsite. There will be an open bar on Saturday for the reception. Please note that Rustic Taps does not accept Venmo, so please plan to bring some cash for tips.
