Yesterday, at The Harraseeket Inn, Real Maine Weddings announced the winning couple for the 2011 “Real Maine Wedding of the Year contest”!  Laura & Nolan!!!

I am so excited to be one of the vendors who will play a part in this fairytale wedding!!

To enter the contest, each couple had to submit a 2 minute video…here is the video Laura & Nolan submitted:

Four couples nervously waited for the contest winner to be announced.  Laura was standing alone because Nolan is currently in Afghanistan (expected to return in June or July).  Just as things were getting started Nolan’s niece ran up to give Laura a good luck hug and then would not leave Laura’s side…it was so sweet!

It was such an emotionally charged moment.  Melanie Brooks, editor of Real Maine Weddings, read down a list of wedding vendors and some of the details which will be part of the October 21, 2011 wedding…then she announced that Laura & Nolan had won the $100K prize!!!

The other three couples gave hugs and kind words of congratulations. Laura stepped up to the podium to give a huge thank you and several interviews with media.

Something that came as a surprise to me, each of the other three finalists also received a prize…a honeymoon package!
Here is the Channel 6 news coverage of the big announcement!

What is next for the winning couple?

bio:


Amber Small first became acquainted with the wedding industry while working for a catering company and then as a photographer’s assistant. It was this behind the-scenes view that allowed her to notice just how many brides weren’t able to enjoy their special day because they were too busy making sure all the details were taken care of. Amber responded by taking her passion for design and people skills to open her own business and started Sweetest Thing Weddings. Ever since, she’s been planning weddings unique to her clients — not cookie cutter celebrations, but thoughtfully designed ceremonies and receptions that take to heart her clients’ personalities while giving brides the peace of mind they deserve.
