Fall Wedding at Bournedale Function Facility, Plymouth MA
Plymouth Wedding
Who: Ryan + Catie
What: Fall Wedding
Where: Bournedale Function Facility, Plymouth MA
When: Fall, 2021
Ryan and Catie were married on a gray, rainy day in Plymouth, MA. Ryan has fond memories of summer activities at "Camp Bournedale." Hence, he relished the opportunity to have it be the site of one of the most important days of his life.
Suppose you want to have a rustic wedding in or around Cape Cod. In that case, the Bournedale Function Facility must be on your list of venues to consider. It has a beautiful view of Cape Cod Bay and a sprawling 13-acre campground for your guests to enjoy. Ryan and Catie's wedding was my first visit to this venue, and I am definitely looking forward to many more trips there.
First Look
Catie and her wedding party readied themselves at the Jeremy House cabin. Ryan and Catie had planned to have their first look down at the dock overlooking the bay, but mother nature had different plans. It rained all morning incessantly and threatened to do so into the night. Finally, there was a break in the clouds just before their first look. Catie and Ryan seized a moment of dry and had their first look right outside the Jeremy House. The two wrote intimate vows to one another, making their moment even more endearing and memorable.
Ceremony
Ryan's older sister officiated their wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, the rain that stayed away during their first look came back with a vengeance during their ceremony. As a matter of fact, while we waited for the rainfall to subside, I managed to take all their formal portrait pictures in the reception hall. But, of course, when you're already married in spirit like Ryan and Catie were, thanks to the mini-vow ceremony, nothing can dampen your spirits. The two of them grinned like unfettered kids with fists full of money in a candy store, despite the day's commotion. When they finally went back outside to be officially wed, they celebrated with a giant WHOOP!
Formal Portraits
I loved the color scheme of this wedding. Catie's side of the wedding party created this gorgeous ombre look that was warm and sweet. As for Ryan's wedding party members, their gray suits were the perfect counterbalance to Catie's crew. Black would've been too dark, tan too warm. The gray was perfect. And with Ryan's suit a shade lighter than his party members, they did a great job of mirroring Catie's ombre look.
Reception
The staff of the Bournedale facility showed why their facility has earned 5-star rankings everywhere you look. From carting guests from the parking lot to the main venue to ensuring that everyone stayed dry and entertained during the forced ceremony intermission, the staff of the Bournedale Facility ensured that Catie and Ryan's ran as smooth as silk. They served dinner quickly and efficiently and kept the party going all night. Ryan sang a song to his new wife, and after a few obligatory dances with their parents, the dance floor opened up. It was a fun night for all.
