Catherine & Matt’s Sanderling Wedding

Catherine and Matt were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish and reminiscing on their beautiful wedding day has us missing them dearly! Catherine and Matt started their wedding weekend with a rehearsal dinner at the Event House & Deck. Their guests loved the interactive Sanderling Seafood Bake after being given a brief tutorial on how to pick and eat blue crabs, lobsters, oysters, and shrimp galore!

Saturday afternoon, Catherine and Matt tied the knot alongside the ocean surrounded by nothing but smiling faces of their friends and family. They opted for an “unplugged ceremony” meaning no phones, cameras, etc. – a wedding trend we are loving! Cocktail hour on the Event Lawn was made complete with OBX Sunset Slush creating mouthwatering Italian ice cocktail for everyone (of all ages) to enjoy. While wedding guests were making their way to the Pavilion for the reception and the bridal party was being introduced, they slipped away to the boat dock making for a surprise entrance! Purple florals swept through the Pavilion along with purple tulips and hanging votives strewn across driftwood above the head table to create a bright and lively feel by the talented team at Bells & Whistles. The night was made complete with confetti cannons signifying the end to their magical day. Take a look at the photography magic captured by Brooke Mayo Photographers and a sneak peak at their wedding video by Reel Love Weddings!
