A Recipe for Love
A Recipe for Love: How Kaitie & Patrick’s Wedding Journey Began at The Essex
For Kaitie and Patrick, love started in the kitchen - specifically, at The Essex Resort & Spa’s Cook Academy. After years of chatting long-distance, Patrick planned their first official date as a getaway to Vermont, choosing The Essex for its culinary experiences, cozy charm, and festive atmosphere. He booked what he thought was a gingerbread baking class, only for the couple to discover they’d joined a children’s gingerbread decorating session.
Rather than retreat, they dove in. Kaitie, a serious baker, crafted a pretzel-thatched roof so impressive that the instructor himself offered compliments. That playful, laughter-filled weekend, filled with cider tastings, a dreamy dinner at Junction, and New England charm, sealed their bond – with The Essex and with each other.
Years later, they returned to say “I do,” surrounded by family, their beloved dog and cat, and the very warmth they felt that first night. For Kaitie and Patrick, The Essex wasn’t just a venue - it was where their recipe for love began.
Whether it’s your first date or your forever day, The Essex is where unforgettable memories are made.
