[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Casey and Kenny’s wedding was a celebration of energy, joy, and, above all, love. Their vision was clear: a day that was as fun and lively as it was romantic and colorful—a wedding that encouraged their guests to “let their hair down” and enjoy every moment of their special day. The couple’s vibrant spirit was reflected in every detail, from the playful color palette to the personal touches that brought their vision to life.
The day began with a first look at The Elms, the iconic Newport mansion. Surrounded by historic grandeur and impeccable gardens, it was the perfect backdrop for the couple’s intimate moment before they headed to the Newport Beach House, where the rest of their celebration awaited. After a quiet moment, they arrived at the venue, buzzing with anticipation as they prepared for their ceremony.
The ceremony itself was set on the Terrace, just steps from the beach. A stunning floral arch by Sayles Livingston Design—designed in a loose, garden-style arrangement—was draped with an exquisite sherbet palette of creams, butter yellow, cantaloupe, blush, coral, peach, and apricot hues, all blending beautifully with the summery, coastal setting. As Casey walked down the aisle with both of her parents with music by Allegro Chamber Players, the love and emotion in the air were palpable. The vows exchanged were deeply personal, officiated by a close family friend who made the ceremony even more meaningful.
As the couple sealed their vows with a kiss, guests were invited to enjoy a lively cocktail hour at Surfside. The energy was set with an electrifying violin performance by Big Lux, and guests mingled at rattan-adorned cocktail tables, sipping signature drinks served with custom napkins and drink toppers featuring Casey and Kenny’s bespoke crest. An espresso cart by Espresso Dave and passed hors d’oeuvres kept guests energized while they soaked in the stunning views of the Newport beach.
The transition to the reception at Eventide was nothing short of spectacular. The space was transformed into a glowing, vibrant celebration, with candlelight flickering on every table and rich, lively floral arrangements stealing the show. Specialty linens from Stradley Davidson, elegant tabletop décor from La Affitto, Reverie Social, and Peak Event Services elevated the design, while Something Borrowed Event Decor created bespoke menu and place cards that tied seamlessly to the couple’s invitation design. Guests marveled at the thoughtfulness and elegance in every detail.
When Casey and Kenny entered their reception, the excitement in the air was palpable. The couple was introduced to the high-energy beats of “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC, brought to life by their band, Night Shift Entertainment, and the electric violin of Big Lux, creating an unforgettable moment of collaboration between music and energy. Their first dance to “Love You For a Long Time” by Maggie Rogers was a heartfelt moment, made even more special by the dance lessons they’d taken together in preparation for their big day. It was the perfect balance of romance and fun.
The rest of the evening was a celebration of life and love, with the dance floor opening up as Night Shift Entertainment took over, ensuring the party never stopped. Espresso Dave was relocated upstairs to keep the energy high and the guests fully fueled for the celebration.
Casey wanted to make her wedding day even more special by honoring a beloved family tradition—a skit that had been performed at every wedding in her family. Inspired by her childhood memories of watching her parents’ wedding video, Casey was eager to recreate the fun, with a twist. With Kenny’s name, how could they not perform the “I’m Just Ken” song from Barbie? The family’s rendition was a playful tribute to the movie’s iconic Grammy performance, bringing smiles and laughter to everyone in the room. To close the tradition, all the men in Casey’s life performed “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” by Frankie Valli, creating a moment so unique that it left everyone talking for the rest of the night.
As the reception came to a close, the couple invited their guests to the Oyster Lounge for an unforgettable after-party. Casey slipped into her final ensemble change and danced the night away with Kenny, while guests immersed themselves in a club-like atmosphere, complete with pin light spinning disco balls by Ryan Designs, shimmering linens from Peak Event Services, and custom Newport hats to keep the energy going. DJ Lana brought the beats, keeping everyone on their feet well into the night.
For Casey and Kenny, their wedding was a true reflection of their personalities—vibrant, energetic, and filled with love. It was a day that celebrated the joy of life, the excitement of the future, and the bonds that bring family and friends together. The details, from the florals to the entertainment, were carefully curated to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience—a wedding that guests will remember for years to come. All stunningly captured by Kati Rosado Photography and K+A Films.
This celebration was the epitome of energy, and heart, a perfect fit for those who want their wedding day to be as unforgettable as their love story. For couples seeking to craft a wedding experience that is both timeless and memorable experiences, Casey and Kenny’s day is a true inspiration.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]After seven years together, Kenny knew the perfect moment had finally arrived to ask Casey to be his forever. In October 2022, he orchestrated a surprise weekend getaway to Montauk, New York—a coastal retreat renowned for its serene beauty and unparalleled charm. Nestled in a chic, luxurious hotel, their stay was set against the backdrop of the Atlantic’s rolling waves, with the crisp, cool air of fall enveloping them in a perfect embrace.
On their first evening in Montauk, as they walked hand-in-hand toward dinner, Kenny asked the front desk for a recommendation for a drink spot. What appeared to be a casual request turned into an unforgettable surprise. Rather than a simple bar, they were led to a secluded stretch of beach, where a meticulously curated, intimate setting awaited them—a romantic lounge area with champagne flutes glistening in the fading sunlight.
It was here, with the ocean gently lapping at the shore and the soft glow of the evening light, that Casey was handed a special surprise. A QR code titled “The Menu of Our Life Together” led her through a personal journey, showcasing their love story through creatively named dishes paired with heartwarming anecdotes and memories. Each item on the menu reflected milestones and intimate moments they had shared over the years. It was a beautifully crafted homage to their relationship. Kenny asked Casey to marry him and it was a moment that perfectly captured the essence of their relationship—a mix of elegance, heartfelt intimacy, and an unspoken connection that only true love can create and no detail was spared.[/field]
