Josie and Sam, September 2018

(Josie) “Oh, the veil!  Yes.  It was Sam’s mom’s, and we reworked it a bit.  The way she wore it the appliqués were at the bottom.  We reversed it so they were at the top, on my head.  Your picture, of the backlighting, was perfect.  It was such a beautiful day.

(Sam) We did eat!  People still talk about the sunset! We did the drinks and the hors’doeuvres outside, then everyone was trickling inside for dinner….then the sunset hit and they all came running back outside, and people kept saying it was the most stunning sunset they’d ever seen.  And this place is so magical we’re not surprised the sun did this….

(Josie) My mom has a camp on Belgrade Lakes so we’ve been coming to Maine all my life.  We looked at a number of venues on the coast, on the ocean, but realized we were missing that special lake feel.  Our coordinator suggested I visit here and I called Sam “Do you trust me?” and he did so we booked before he even saw it.

(Sam) We took a weekend trip with both our mothers in spring, a couple of months after we got engaged, looking at venues.  We knew we wanted a lake, that Friday to Sunday situation, with a space that allowed for a lot of camraderie.  We saw some we liked, nothing we loved.  We were looking for this magical dream, and didn’t quite find it.  So I flew back to New York with a college classmate, and we shared a cab back to our neighborhood and she mentioned Migis, and it turned out she was the second person to mention Migis. So then we were on to it.

Our day was September 22, and that is my parents’ wedding day, too, and their whole wedding party was here so it was extra special.  It was the perfect day.

Our friends, their spouses, our families….the boats, the sunset, the ceremony, the food, the cabins.  The pancakes that my friend still talks about. Everyone seems to have the global “we loved that weekend” followed by “and I especially loved this…”.  It’s all positives.

(Josie)  We had a lobster bake welcome dinner.  Being back here, walking around, little things are coming back to us, that maybe didn’t quite register then, but now here we are.  “Remember this?  Remember that?  Every little nook has a special memory for us.  We stayed in Moose Point first, then went to Sunset.  We took a motorboat out to the island on the wedding morning and exchanged little gifts.

The pastry chef was wonderful; she did an amazing job with gluten free choices for me.  We have the cake top and after here we are going to Boston to share it with Sam’s parents for our anniversary.

(Sam) Josie’s brother officiated, both of our mothers signed the marriage certificate in front of everyone, various in-laws and friends had readings, Josie’s nephews carried the veil, two little ones were flower girls, so we had a very meaningful ceremony and celebration.

And, a little glimpse of the morning after!

Thank you for visiting us for your first anniversary, Sam and Josie.  May you have many warm and dry years together!

Sarah and Scott

On a hot day in July 2019 at the Migis playground, with the sounds of their playing children intermittently breaking in, Scott and Sarah talked about their October 2013 Migis wedding.

Sarah: “It was kind of an accident, how we found Migis.  I grew up in North Yarmouth, and Scott and I were looking for a venue.  We knew we wanted to be in Maine and it turned out my mother’s pilates instructor was married here.  Yes, my mom is very fit!   She told my mom about it and we came and visited and fell in love with it.  We knew a hotel ballroom wouldn’t really be our style and this felt like a cool opportunity for all our friends and family to be in one spot.

Scott: “I don’t think we even looked it up.  I know probably a lot of people say this, but we came and looked and it was definitely love at first sight when we saw Migis.  It had everything we wanted.  The idea of being able to walk the property, and see family and friends in every nook and cranny was so special, and that’s how it played out.  That’s my favorite memory.  Knowing there’s all these people you love, and who love you, and here they are; that is so special.”

Sarah: “Now, when we come back, we can remember it all, especially when we walk across the front lawn to where our ceremony was.  It turned out to be a cold day, but it was nice and sunny.”

Scott: “Did you realize I give you a kiss the first time we cross that lawn every time we’re here?”.  (Laughs and ahhhhhs all around.)

Sarah: “We worked primarily with Robyn, and by email a great deal, and came here to have a meeting with Chef John to talk through the food details.  Oh!  You have our menu!  Yes!  The salad with no mushrooms, and the vegetables with no blue cheese. (All laughing.)  I don’t like cheese and I wanted our menu to reflect our tastes!  I had the scallops; they were so good. People talked so much about how good the food was which I feel like you don’t hear that often about weddings.  In fact, we still run into people and they start talking about the food.”

 They bought flowers from Snell Farm, and a high school friend was their photographer.  Brett Williams was their DJ and “he was amazing. Fantastic.  Now he runs the Sanford Performing Arts Center.”  And a friend of the family made their cake and that woman’s husband performed the ceremony and Sarah’s dad whittled hundred of sticks for s’mores kits (“some are still in the garage”) and they did the flower arrangements themselves…”so the family and friend collaborations were wonderful”.

    Scott: And the day of, I went for a run with all my friends and that was really good.

Sarah: And I did that too, with my dad and my uncles.

Now it’s so special to come here, to be here with our children (2 and 4).  We keep the wedding book out so they look, they know we were married here, and now they are getting to love it too, as you can tell!  It’s so special.  We come the 4th of July week with them, and Labor Day by ourselves.  And also, before we go chase the kids, a shout out to our golden doodle Henry, who was a very important part of our wedding!

Mid winter week.

We’re wrapping up another winter week here at Migis.  It’s busier than you might think!  The guys are running two teams, ripping and tearing and rebuilding....one set is down at Topside for a major renovation, and the other is over at Birch and Loon, refiguring and rebuilding bathrooms.  Scott and Dana are doing the fine painting, touch ups, and window repairs that never run out.  Two pumps are back at work in the boat basin (see it down to 18″), and we’ve been busy inside as well.  Maddy and Adam are interviewing potential staff, Joan and Marcia are loaded down with carpet samples, Robyn is fine-tuning this year’s weddings, and Sarah is about to mail about 50 confirmation letters!  And we all manage to get out and enjoy the Maine winter snow and frozen Sebago, as evidenced by Maddy’s fishing hole, and Matt’s sunset skate photo here of Thomas.  Give us a call!  207-655-4524.
