It’s been a moment since I said hi! 👋🏻 I started Beacon & Berkeley because I believe weddings should feel as beautiful as they look. My work lives in the quiet details - layered textiles, meaningful paper, spaces that feel welcoming from the moment guests arrive. I design celebrations across New England, Washington D.C. and beyond, partnering with couples who value intention, experience, and storytelling. When I’m not designing weddings, you can usually find me sending raccoon videos, ordering an espresso martini, buying something I absolutely didn’t need at Anthropologie, or sitting on the deck listening to the ocean and thinking about table linens. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels effortless and personal, I’d love to meet you! . . .

There’s something about Nantucket in the rain that feels even more romantic. The fog rolling over the harbor, the sound of rain softly hitting the tent roof, candlelight flickering a little brighter, guests lingering a little longer. A tented wedding on a rainy island evening has its own kind of magic - intimate, nostalgic, and deeply comforting in that quintessential Nantucket way. The kind of night where damp shoulders turn into espresso martinis, laughter echoes a little louder, and dinner feels less like an event and more like coming home. Not every wedding day needs bright sunshine to feel beautiful. Sometimes the grey skies give the island its softest glow. 🌫️✨ . . .

A Nantucket kind of romance- soft, slow, and entirely its own. The rain came first, dampening the benches, wrapping the island in that quiet, anticipatory hush. Guests leaned in a little closer, umbrellas blooming, the air thick with something almost cinematic. And then… just as Liz & Wright began the walk to the beach, the rain slipped away. In its place: the dreamiest grey fog rolling in from the harbor, like a veil drawn just for them. The kind of moment you couldn’t plan if you tried- mist clinging to every hydrangea, the ocean barely visible beyond, everything feeling suspended in time. Proof that sometimes the most beautiful ceremonies aren’t the sunniest ones- they’re the ones that feel like Nantucket itself. A little moody, a little romantic, and entirely unforgettable. 🌫️🤍 . . .

There’s something about Nantucket that makes everything feel a little more meaningful- especially the night before. An intimate rehearsal dinner, tucked between hydrangeas and salt air, where the guest list is small but the love feels expansive. Where stories are shared a little longer, toasts linger a little softer, and the pace slows just enough to take it all in. No production, no pressure- just the people who brought you here, gathered around a table that feels like home. This is where the weekend begins. Quietly, intentionally, and exactly as it should. #BeaconAndBerkeley #NantucketWeddings #RehearsalDinner #CoastalCelebration #IntimateWedding NantucketEvents WeddingWeekend CoastalChic . . .

Before she was a bride, she was here at Forever Wild on Nantucket- barefoot summers, growing taller on this very wall. The most beautiful weddings don’t just tell a story- they come from one. . . .

Dinner at a wedding is one of the most meaningful parts of the celebration - the moment when the energy softens and everyone settles into the joy of the evening. ✨ After the excitement of the ceremony and cocktail hour, guests finally gather around the table together. Candles are glowing, glasses are clinking, and the room fills with conversation, laughter, and the quiet magic of being surrounded by the people who mean the most. It’s where heartfelt toasts are shared, new friendships are made between tables, and the couple gets to pause, even just for a moment, and take in the incredible community that surrounds them. Beautiful tables, thoughtful menus, and intentional design help set the stage, but what truly makes this moment special is the feeling in the room. Dinner isn’t just a meal, it’s the heart of the celebration. Your first breaking of the bread in your new home. 🕯️🍷 . . .
