When Brian and Katrina reached out about their Inn at Longshore wedding, they shared a vision of incorporating their eclectic music taste into their big day. The couple’s wedding guest list of over 150 consisted mostly of friends in their 20’s and 30’s and some older family members. We worked together to put together a dance floor that would live up to even the highest of expectations, and even booked a guitarist for the first half of the day!
This Westport wedding started with an outdoor ceremony on the Inn at Longshore’s waterfront grounds. The guitarist, Anthony Fuscaldo played covers throughout the ceremony, and even switched up to an electric guitar for cocktail hour which took place just a few feet from the ceremony. Guests mingled waterside on the beautiful October day while the couple and wedding party took photos during sunset.
As the wedding party moved indoors for the reception, the party really began. We kicked off the party with an in depth wedding party introductions going straight into spotlight dances and toasts.
Once dinner was wrapped up, we jump started the dance floor getting down to everything from classic rock to EDM. The couple cut their cake to the Nat King Cole classic, “L.O.V.E.” followed by a competitive bouquet toss to TLC’s “No Scrubs”.
