Elin and Bryan’s wedding day was extra special this June, because they’d been waiting almost a year to finally be married! The newlyweds were supposed to tie the knot originally last August, but a hurricane had other plans for their celebration. Elin and Bryan had to choose a new day to get married – June 5th – and planned a romantic and coastal inspired Gurney’s Newport Resort wedding day.
When we arrived, it was clear that everyone was beyond excited for them to finally be able to tie the knot (and so were we!). Elin and Bryan had a first look in front of the Newport Bridge to kickstart the day before their waterfront ceremony. They wrapped up their celebration with a beautiful reception inside Gurney’s. Filled with pastel blue and ivory details, everything looked stunning against the reception hall! We’re so happy for Elin and Bryan – and are thrilled they are finally able to become husband and wife! Congratulations!!
Gurney’s Newport Weddings
We love waterfront wedding days at Gurney’s Newport Resort! This stunning Newport venue provides an unparalleled view of the Newport Bridge and the breathtaking ocean view that wraps around the New England lighthouse. It’s truly one of the most gorgeous event venues in the area. With a recently renovated indoor space, the neutral décor provides an awesome option for your wedding portraits and ceremony. Gurney’s Newport is a wonderful option for anyone looking for a modern venue with a gorgeous view!
A Tip for Our Couples…
If we’ve learned anything from the last few years, it’s that none of us want to think about the unthinkable things in life… but we often have to. As wedding professionals with 20 years of experience, we’ve seen weddings moved and canceled for lots of reasons – COVID, venue changes, hurricanes… One of our biggest pieces of advice for couples is to get wedding insurance. This will help protect all of your wedding plans and dreams from acts of God, like hurricanes. Although we hope nothing ever happens that will ruin your plans, having that policy is a great way to find peace of mind in the big scheme of wedding planning!
