Hitched in a Barn by the Sea

The 2-hour trip was worth it for a lovely beach-front wedding. The ceremony was held indoors – but outdoors – in a rustic barn complete with wooden benches and a spiral staircase. Guests were dressed like beach-goers: flip-flops, shorts, sun dresses & glasses – though we played more traditional fare. The highlight of the ceremony was the recessional where the newlyweds, the guests, and us performed Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” in FULL before spilling over to cocktail hour; it was sooo amazing! What great way to end a ceremony. Congrats to Bridget & Chris!
