Oct

Courtney and Michael’s October wedding at Bonnet Island Estate was nothing short of a coastal dream. Nestled along the serene Barnegat Bay, the elegant waterfront venue provided the perfect setting for their romantic celebration. With a crisp autumn breeze in the air and the golden hues of the season reflecting off the water, the couple’s vision of a timeless, coastal-inspired wedding came to life.

The Boathouse Chapel, with its rustic wooden beams and charming barn doors, was adorned with soft coastal blue accents, complementing the natural beauty of Bonnet Island Estate. Courtney walked down the aisle in a flowing lace gown. As they exchanged vows beneath the soaring cathedral ceiling, the soft sounds of waves and seagulls created an intimate, unforgettable atmosphere.

Their reception in the grand ballroom was a stunning blend of elegance and seaside charm. Tables were draped in white linens, accented by delicate seashells and flickering candlelight. Guests enjoyed fresh coastal cuisine as the sun set over the bay, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange. The night was filled with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt toasts, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bonnet Island Estate. As Courtney and Michael shared their first dance beneath the twinkling chandeliers, it was clear that their love story had found the perfect beginning in this enchanting waterfront paradise was nothing short of a coastal dream.
