THE MAINE WEDDING WEEKEND
Seamless Hospitality from Welcome Supper to Farewell Morning
Some weddings are a single evening. Yours is something more: An extended stay with the people who have shaped you, in a place you chose deliberately, over days that deserve to feel as considered as the vows themselves.
Maine Wedding Provisions is built for exactly this.
Chef Rebecca Schilling designs the culinary rhythm of your entire weekend, from the moment guests arrive to the quiet morning after, so that every meal, every small provision, every thoughtful touch carries the same warmth and care as the celebration at its center.
You host. We hold the kitchen. Your people feel genuinely cared for.
How a Weekend With Rebecca Takes Shape
Every weekend is designed from scratch around your people, your venue, and the particular feeling you want your gathering to carry. There is no template. What follows is a sense of what a fully provisioned weekend might look like and what becomes possible when the kitchen is someone else's responsibility.
THE WELCOME
Your guests arrive to something waiting for them.
Before the weekend truly begins, the house is already hospitable. A curated arrival spread of local cheeses, house-made accompaniments, seasonal fruit, something sweet from a Maine maker is styled and ready when your first guests walk through the door. No scrambling, no grocery runs, no apologizing for the empty fridge. Just the immediate feeling that someone thought of everything.
THE ANCHOR MEAL
The evening that sets the tone for everything.
Whether it's a Welcome Supper on Thursday evening or a Rehearsal Dinner the night before the ceremony, this is the meal your guests will still be talking about at breakfast the next morning. A multi-course dinner designed collaboratively with you, rooted in Maine's current season, shaped around your family's preferences, served at a pace that encourages everyone to linger.
Rebecca and her team handle every detail: the service, the timing, the quiet refills, the kitchen left spotless before the last guest says goodnight.
Starting from $225 per guest
THE MORNING AFTER
The kitchen is ready before your guests are.
Each morning of your weekend, the refrigerator and counter are stocked and waiting with house-made provisions designed around your group, labeled, portioned, and ready without any effort from you. Coffee and tea are set and guests wander down at their own pace and find something delicious waiting for them.
Morning Provisions are tailored to your group during your Planning Session: Dietary needs, preferences, and the particular rhythm of your weekend all shape what appears in that kitchen each morning.
THE DETAILS THAT STAY WITH PEOPLE
The touches no one expects but everyone remembers.
Rebecca delights in intentional and joyful culinary moments: Hand-painted chocolates waiting on pillows, the late-night grazing board that appeared after the dancing, the basket of local berries that was somehow there at 7am. These are not afterthoughts. They are part of how a weekend becomes a memory.
Enhancements are discussed and designed during your Planning Session and may include:
The Arrival Spread: A styled welcome for guests arriving at the property
Late Night Bites: Passed noshes or a grazing station following dinner service
Luncheon: Pre-ceremony refreshments during hair and makeup, or a final meal before guests begin to depart
Tabletop Curation: Full rental sourcing, styling, and day-of coordination with Maine's finest rental partners
Additional Morning Provisions: Stocked each morning across multi-day weekends
What Every Weekend Includes
Regardless of scope, every Maine Wedding Provisions weekend is built on the same foundation:
Collaborative menu design rooted in season, place, and your family's palate, developed through a dedicated Planning Session with Chef Rebecca before a single dish is prepared.
Seamless dietary navigation: Allergies, restrictions, and strong preferences are folded into the menu from the beginning, not accommodated as an afterthought.
A calm, steady presence: Rebecca's most consistent review is that she brings a grounding warmth to any space she enters. On a weekend when everything feels heightened, that matters more than any single dish.
Full kitchen reset after every service so you wake up to a clean kitchen, every morning.
A Planning Session with Chef Rebecca: A dedicated conversation to design your weekend's culinary arc, discuss enhancements, and ensure the experience reflects exactly who you are. $350, credited in full toward your weekend.

Is a Maine Wedding Weekend Right for You?
You're in the right place if:
Your nearest and dearest are staying onsite together at a private estate, historic inn, rental property, or boutique venue
You want the weekend to feel genuinely hosted, not catered
You value food that reflects the place you chose and the season in which you're celebrating
You'd like to hand off the kitchen entirely and simply be present with your people
Your guest count is between 8 and 30
Also a perfect fit if: You're planning a larger wedding and want your wedding party or immediate family — the 8–30 VIPs staying onsite — to feel as thoughtfully cared for as the celebration itself. Rebecca works alongside your primary wedding team to provision the inner circle across the full weekend.
Begin With a Conversation
Maine Wedding Provisions accepts a limited number of weekend engagements each season to ensure every gathering receives Rebecca's full attention.
Every weekend begins with a complimentary Discovery Call, a relaxed conversation about your vision, your guests, and how you'd like the weekend to feel. From there, a custom proposal is prepared for your review. Full weekend proposals for 8–20 guests typically begin at $6,000 and are customized based on the number of days, meals, and enhancements selected.
No pressure. No package to select before you're ready. Just a conversation.
