How to Have the Perfect Beach Wedding

Written by Nicole Pressly Wolf
People seek out Fire Island for its secluded beauty and quaint locales; those attributes make the island a true haven and an ideal location for a wedding. Unfortunately, it’s this very remoteness that makes a wedding here so difficult to plan. Accommodating a large party, getting them to the island in the first place, and then there’s the weather—complications can quickly arise. But with a little creativity and a close look at your resources, you can create something truly memorable.

Accommodating a large party, getting them to the island in the first place, and then of course there’s the weather—complications can quickly arise. But with a little creativity and a close look at your resources, you can create something truly memorable. More and more restaurants and venues on the island are making changes to host larger events, while still maintaining the charm of an intimate, waterside affair.

House and Garden

Written by Grace Corradino

Planning a wedding on Fire Island? Bridezillas need not apply.

Over the last few years, we have met a number of couples determined to have their wedding on Fire Island. Getting a wedding together on Fire Island requires a determination far exceeding the requirements for any mainland service and celebration. 

The first and perhaps most important challenge is to acknowledge that some, most, or all of your family and friends may not share your passion for having your wedding on Fire Island.  After all, they will have to get here, park their car at a ferry terminal, walk to the terminal and then find you once they disembark in the appropriate community. The logistics can be daunting for older relatives and friends.
