Jill & Dustin | Wedding at Danversport Yacht Club

If you could pick your weather, you would pick Jill and Dustin’s day – warm, but not too warm, very little wind and sunny – a perfect June day!

Jill and Dustin chose the Danversport Yacht Club for their ceremony and reception and we headed to a lighthouse for their photos before the ceremony began.  Our day started in a hotel while everyone got ready for the day!

bride & groom questions

Q. What was the most memorable moment of your day?
A. Being with all of the people who we love the most- especially the time before the wedding taking pictures and on the bus with our families and wedding party.
Q. Funniest memory from your wedding day?
A. Both of the speeches had us laughing so hard- Rachel and Rick know us too well.
Q. What was your favorite detail?
A. We are so happy that we went with a band over a DJ. The dance floor was packed all night.
Q. Any advice for future brides/grooms?
A. The planning process will bring out the best and worst in you. Make sure to keep in mind that this is your day and the real reason for the celebration- Your love for each other!
Q. If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
A. Everything was absolutely amazing- We couldn’t have asked for a more fun, relaxing, and perfect day. If it were at all possible, we would have lightened up the Boston area traffic- but I don’t think there is anything we could do about that!
Q. Where did you go on your honeymoon?
A. We took a road trip (in an orange Mustang) up on the Pacific Coast Highway in California- from San Diego to Napa. It was so much fun!
