How it began

Our story

Spring 1924

A first dance

Across a crowded ballroom, one look — and the orchestra played on a little longer than planned.

Summer 1925

The grand tour

Trains and harbors and too many postcards, and the quiet certainty that the adventure was each other.

Winter 1925

A home of gold and books

A little place above the city, lamplight in the evenings, and plans drawn on the backs of menus.

Spring 1926

The question

Asked beneath the marquee lights, answered before the sentence was finished — yes.

The evening

Program

4

Ceremony

Vows beneath the gilded arch.

5

Cocktails

Champagne, a string quartet, and a thousand candles.

7

Dinner

A seated dinner, heartfelt toasts, and the first dance.

9

The orchestra

Dancing beneath the chandeliers until late.

12

Send-off

A sparkling farewell to the newlyweds.

Before you come

Good to know

A few extra details to help the day by the water run smoothly.

We can't wait to celebrate with you by the lagoon. Here are a few things we're often asked — and a link to our gift registry, should you wish to give something.

  • Flat or wedge shoes are wise for the boardwalk and sand.
  • Bring a light wrap — the sea breeze cools the evening.
  • A late shuttle runs to the bayside hotels at midnight.
