Pat & Hay’s Dreamy Nautical Hampton Wedding
Some weddings just hit different, and Pat and Hay’s Montauk Yacht Club wedding was definitely one of those! This Hampton wedding had it all—the ocean breeze, golden-hour glow, and a couple so effortlessly chic they could’ve stepped straight out of a Ralph Lauren ad. And, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for an outdoor wedding on Hampton’s east end!
From the marina views sparkling from the sun, to the stunning indoor spaces, every detail of their day reflected the natural beauty of the venue, and their love.
But the real crowd-pleaser? Their seating display. If you’re going to tell people where to sit, you might as well do it in style, right?
A Hampton Wedding Seating Display That Stole the Show
Pat and Hay’s seating chart? Absolute perfection. Here’s the breakdown:
Pat and Hay’s Montauk Yacht Club wedding was all about effortless style and thoughtful details. Their reception setup started with a white, curved backdrop featuring a neon sign that read “Spritz, The Night Away”—because the vibe was just as important as the view.
Their seating chart was a perfect blend of nautical charm and sophistication, with elegant framed assignments mixing neutral tones and bold red patterns.
And let’s talk about their signature drink favors—mini Aperol bottles doubling as escort cards? Absolute genius. Guests were quite literally sipping their way to their seats!
Making the Most of a Hampton Wedding’s Waterfront Views
Nothing says ‘Hampton’ wedding quite like a waterfront view, and Pat and Hay’s day was overflowing with that breezy, sun-kissed luxury experience.
With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the marina, the venue itself is a showstopper!
Montauk Yacht Club has plenty of ways to get married by the water, whether you want to be indoors or outside! You’ve got options—the waterfront ballroom, the cottage lawn, or the great lawn—so no matter the size of your wedding, there’s a spot that’s just right! See the different options on their website, here!
This setup was the perfect mix of modern elegance and fun, personal touches—perfect for couples who want to level up their reception vibe.
The Florals: A Coastal, Romantic Dream
Can we just take a second for the florals? Beautiful roses, vibrant dahlias, delicate ranunculus, and snapdragons, all wrapped up with greenery— it was truly stunning all throughout!
And the color palette? A dreamy mix of soft peaches, corals, and crisp whites that fit the venue’s coastal charm like a glove.
Fresh, summery, and straight-up romantic—pretty much the perfect vibe for a Hampton wedding if I do say so myself.
