When Maddie Gauthier and Will McGlynn matched on Hinge, it was his voice that captivated her.
“There was a voice note on his account about what he was looking for in a relationship. The sincerity in his message captured my attention,” says Maddie, adding with a laugh that his “cute” British accent didn’t hurt, either.
The pair connected immediately on their first date, chatting long into the night, and were soon inseparable. Since Will’s family lives in England, they spent their first Christmas together with Maddie’s family. “That was it,” Maddie says with a smile. “I just knew. This person is my family.”
Two years later, Will proposed. Maddie said yes: there was no doubt in her mind.
The pair decided on a short engagement. In January 2025, they started planning their wedding at The Nash for May of that year. The in-house wedding planner, custom arrangements and menus meant the couple only had to say yes or no to details.
“We brought our own signage and flowers, and The Nash set everything up. They made it so easy,” says Will.
The night before they wed on May 10, 2025, Will and Maddie stayed at separate locations. That was ideal for Maddie to plan a “first look” photography session — a modern practice that was completely new to Will.
The ceremony and reception included a sax player, which is a growing trend, popular at British weddings. As two hearts joined, it was a day filled with laughter, touching messages and tears of joy. While the ceremony and celebrations were a one-day event, the venue is a permanent part of Maddie and Will’s future.
“I love that The Nash is a venue that we can return to for anniversaries and special occasions — to keep as a part of our lives moving forward,” says Maddie.
