PORTLAND, MAINE

MODERN LUXE ROMANCE

JULY

THE DESIGN & EXPERIENCE

Susanna and Eric envisioned a celebration that felt modern, sophisticated, and centered on what mattered most: ending the day as husband and wife. Hosted at Ocean Gateway, their wedding embraced the venue's waterfront setting and bright, airy atmosphere, creating a day that felt both meaningful and effortless.

Following a private first look outside the venue, guests gathered inside Ocean Gateway's light-filled event space, where sweeping views of Casco Bay provided the backdrop for the ceremony. Cocktail hour and the reception followed just steps away, allowing guests to move seamlessly through the celebration while remaining immersed in the waterfront setting.

The design complemented the venue's natural beauty with coral linens, emerald green accents, and romantic florals that added warmth without overwhelming the space. Heartfelt speeches, a memorable first dance, great food, and a packed dance floor rounded out an evening that felt bright, understated, and deeply personal from start to finish.
