We are very proud to share Molly Hodgson and Jason Drisko's story, our winners of "The Best of Seacoast Weddings 2025!"

Being a “mature” bride made her wedding day all the more special, says Molly, who married Jason in an intimate ceremony at The View at Pepperrell Cove. “We’re both in our 50s and have been together for 13 years,” she says. “We had an incredible courtship.” Their first date was at the Black Trumpet in Portsmouth. In fact, the couple became such good friends with the restaurant’s owner, James Beard award-winning chef Evan Mallett, that he officiated at their wedding. “Jason asked me (to marry him) several times in those 13 years, but coming out of the pandemic, we needed reasons to gather and celebrate. I didn’t even call it a wedding, I called it our Celebration of Love,” she says.

Molly chose as many local vendors as possible for their celebration, including sourcing bison from Hackmatack Farm in Berwick, Maine. “Everyone raved about it,” she says. Molly adds that she wanted the day to feel good as well as look good.“ The vibe was romantic and sophisticated, but fun and joyful.” The couple’s four children, two from each side, stood up for them during the ceremony. “We wanted to honor the blending of our families,” Molly notes.

She jokes that as a hot-flashing bride, she wanted to feel beautiful and comfortable, and wear a dress that complemented her shape and reflected her personal style. “Many custom adjustments and alterations later, it was perfect. It felt so good to have so many people tell me, ‘You’re just glowing!’”

The 2025 issue of Seacoast Weddings is here and we are thrilled!

Congratulations to Ariel Grondin Photo for earning the coveted cover image spot!

"It’s truly a huge honor to be featured with so many amazing photographers, let alone, have been chosen for the cover of the 2025 issue of Seacoast Wedding Magazine. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day for Matt and Christina’s August wedding in Rye Beach, NH. All of the florals created by Distinct Floral Designs truly brought the day even more to life with a timeless color palette of pinks and peaches to add to the mix. They went so well with the bridesmaids mix-matched floral dresses, and really brought the vision to life." said Ariel

We can’t wait for everyone to see the full 2025 edition. And you can, here! https://seacoastweddings.com/current-issue/

If being married in a castle on the ocean was part of Carly’s wedding dream, then she fulfilled that the day she married Michael at Hammond Castle. “We were looking for something unique, and it definitely fit the bill,” she says. “I grew up only five minutes away, but I’d never been there. It was the first place we looked, and as soon as I saw it, I knew that was it—one and done!”

Special shout out to my nephew Kyler Dove and his bride Rian Dove, who were married this fall and are celebrating their very first Valentine’s Day as a married couple! So appreciated the wonderful help of Flowers by Leslie and Jenny's Wedding Cakes, who made the day even more special with their creations. I especially loved this bridal flower crown that Jayne made to match Rian’s bouquet. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Kyler and Rian in love, and I am grateful to the wedding experts I know who made the day more special for them. Happy Valentine’s Day, Kyler and Rian!
