Amy & Chris
Date of engagement: January 11, 2020
Date of wedding: August 14, 2020
A wedding near the lake is pure magic. If you add in a rustic and elegant barn and a tented celebration overlooking beautiful Newfound Lake in the Bristol, NH area, you have the ingredients for a wonderful wedding. When Amy and Chris were planning their wedding, the solution of where to hold the wedding was simple: Newfound Lake Inn, a property owned by her family. Amy says some of the features of the property that made it so special were “the beautiful barn, and the private beach and dock for sunset photos. We loved the fact that our guests were able to stay on location at the inn and enjoy the lake all weekend. The food was also amazing!”
Kristina Kuusik, wedding planner at Mavinhouse Events, was “incredible and truly made our vision come to life. We couldn’t have done it without her. She did an amazing job securing our vendors and keeping everyone in the loop with all the Covid curveballs thrown our way. Linda Kohn, the events coordinator at the inn, was also extremely accommodating and helpful,” says Amy.
The couple’s favorite part of their wedding day, recalls Amy, was, “Seeing each other for the first time as I walked down the aisle (my husband cried!). And dancing the night away with our friends and family.”
