When you are getting married, its never just about the wedding! There are so many super fabulous events leading up to the big day: Engagement parties, Bridal showers, Bachelorette parties, and a Rehearsal dinner. My  rehearsal dinner was one of the best days of my life. So memorable and lots of love, tears, and cheers shared. There is just something about the intimate time you get with your closest family and friends to reflect on why everyone has been brought together. I love this rehearsal dinner planned by Beth Helmstetter and shot by Corbin Gurkin. Taking place in New York, the nautical feel to this clam bake is so inviting, not a lot of decor needed, just family friends and food is all that is important : )

    I Love beach events, and am always suggesting them. I think these kinds of events are going to be trending up, as we all get back to nature. Planning these events is a bear, but they are just so memorable, there’s a bit of a team-building aspect to them. I also love the seafood menu…but where’s the wine? Great job guys, love this post. J
