Crisp Air and Cozy Vibes: Nicole & Alex at the Jordan Hotel | Newry, Maine
Nicole and Alex chose the Jordan Hotel at Sunday River for their fall mountain wedding, and the setting couldn’t have been more fitting. September in Newry has this warm, comforting glow to it. The mountains start to shift toward autumn, the air gets a little crisp, and everything feels calm in a way that slows the whole day down.
The morning began quietly at the hotel. Nicole got ready with her bridal party in a room filled with soft colors and a relaxed energy. Her palette of cinnamon rose, terracotta, and amber added a warm touch that played beautifully with the mountain scenery waiting outside. Nearby, Alex spent his late morning with his groomsmen, sharing laughs and settling into the excitement of the day.
In the early afternoon, Nicole and Alex shared a first look on the hotel grounds. They chose a spot tucked away from the ceremony area so they could have a moment to themselves. With the mountains rising behind them and a gentle breeze moving through the trees, it was a simple and emotional pause before everything that was still to come.
As guests arrived at Sliders later in the afternoon, the sun softened over the hillside and cast a warm glow across the deck. Their ceremony unfolded overlooking the mountains, creating a peaceful and natural atmosphere that made their vows feel even more meaningful.
Cocktail hour kept that feeling going. The bride’s family performed alongside a hired musician, giving the space a personal and heartfelt touch that guests immediately felt. While everyone mixed and mingled, Nicole and Alex slipped away for portraits as the sun began to set. The firepits crackled, the sky shifted to warm evening tones, and the whole scene felt like Maine showing off.
The celebration moved inside as evening settled in. Their first dance set the tone for a night filled with laughter, heartfelt speeches, and a lively dance floor. Its presence throughout the evening was quiet but deeply important, and it became a subtle thread woven through their family story.
As the mountain night settled outside, the reception wrapped up naturally and comfortably, without a formal exit. Friends and family lingered, enjoying the warmth of the space and the final moments of a day filled with love, meaning, and the kind of memories that stay with you.
