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."

Building a conservatory tent is an entirely different level of production.
We’re not just installing a tent — we’re building a structure. A fully custom venue, designed from the ground up.
The process starts nearly a week before the event. What begins as an open lawn quickly turns into an active job site, with flooring going in, the structure being raised, power being run, and every foundational element carefully installed before design even begins.
Because with a conservatory tent, every single decision matters.
Flooring type sets the tone and functionality of the space. Lighting fixtures define the atmosphere as the sun sets. Draping softens and transforms the structure. Furniture and layout shape how guests move, gather, and experience the night. Every layer is intentional, and every choice impacts the overall feel.
It’s complex. It’s detailed. It requires thoughtful planning across every vendor involved.
But that’s what makes it so special.
You’re not walking into a venue; you’re creating one. One that is completely tailored to the couple, the setting, and the experience they want to share.
And when it all comes together, it doesn’t feel like a tent at all.
It feels like it was always meant to be there. ✨

What you’ll find me doing in the hour before guests enter the tent…
Perfecting every last detail.
Obsessing over each design element.
Walking the space (again and again), taking it all in.
Greeting the band.
Reviewing timing and formalities with the MC and catering team.
Prepping my team for what’s ahead.
And finally… revealing the tent to the couple.
That moment never gets old. Watching their reaction, seeing them take it all in, noticing the details we’ve poured so much into. We laugh, we cry, we soak it all in together.
Truly one of the best parts of what we do!

Hil and Will’s wedding on Cape Cod is featured in @inspiredbythis !
Set against the beauty of the coast, this wedding was a true reflection of effortless New England charm. A thoughtful blend of soft coastal tones, natural textures, and layered details created a setting that felt both elevated and inviting. From the breezy ceremony overlooking the water to a tented reception filled with warmth, candlelight, and organic florals, every moment was designed to feel intentional yet relaxed.
It’s always our goal to create an experience that feels deeply personal to our couples while embracing the natural beauty around them and this one did just that.
A celebration that felt as meaningful as it was beautiful.
