The Wedding Brief

Katelyn & Scott’s Seacoast Science Center Wedding: Seamless Planning for a Joy-Filled Celebration

Katelyn & Scott knew they wanted to celebrate their love in their hometown of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, even while planning their wedding from afar. Though both grew up in the area, they turned to our team for expert wedding planning to bring it all together, and ensure a stress-free experience from start to finish.

With our deep local knowledge of New Hampshire wedding venues and trusted network of professionals, they knew they were in good hands.

A Coastal Wedding with Meaningful Local Touches

The couple chose the breathtaking Seacoast Science Center in Rye, NH as their venue, drawn to its oceanfront views and relaxed elegance. Having worked many events at this location, our team was already well-versed in its layout, flow, and local regulations, giving us a major advantage when handling both design and logistics.

What made this wedding extra special was the involvement of lifelong friends who happened to be seasoned wedding professionals. From photography to florists, the day was filled with familiar faces helping to create unforgettable memories.

Behind-the-Scenes Problem Solving with a Professional Touch

No wedding is without its challenges, and Katelyn & Scott’s day had its own unique curveball: strict alcohol regulations at the venue. The town of Rye and Seacoast Science Center have well-known bar policies that require careful adherence. When a police detail assigned to the event expressed concern about guest behavior, our team stepped in immediately.

Thanks to our calm communication and proactive approach, we worked discreetly with the officer, the couple, bartenders and the venue to mitigate any disruptions. We adjusted bar service accordingly while ensuring the celebration continued uninterrupted. Most guests were completely unaware that any issue had occurred, exactly the way it should be.

The music kept playing, desserts were served, and the dance floor stayed full, because our job as planners is to handle the unexpected, so our couples and their guests don’t have to.
