From the very beginning of their relationship, they knew that this beautiful property, steeped in memories and magic, would be the perfect backdrop for their wedding.

Wentworth by the SeaCountry Club Summer Wedding
The culmination of a weekend filled with love, laughter, connection, and a lifetime of memories in the making.
Stephanie and Jake’s wedding day was the epitome of classic, romantic, and timeless. The design incorporated soft linen & velvet textures, handmade paper, a cream, white and blush color palette, elegant fonts with touches of gold, and romantic draping and ribbon detail.
"From the start of the planning process to their execution on our wedding day, Lia went above and beyond to ensure our tented, seacoast wedding was exactly what we envisioned! Lia listened to what was important to us and incorporated personal details that did not go unnoticed. My husband’s love for golf, my love for guest hospitality, and design elements like frosted glass signage and heirloom matte china that looked and felt like it was graced by the salt of the sea."

I’m Lia Bancroft, Owner & Creative Director of Lia Bancroft Events.
We believe every celebration should feel immersive, pulling you, your families, and your guests fully into the experience. Because the purpose isn’t just the party — it’s the moments within it: the vows, the toasts, the first dances, the laughter between friends, the late-night dance floor antics, and all the little interactions in between.
Those moments become memories. And those memories last a lifetime.
This season of your life, the one that joins two families and creates a new little family of your own, deserves to be celebrated with intention. It’s our greatest honor to elevate it, to make it feel deeply personal, and to ensure every guest feels welcomed, connected, and truly part of your story.
