Rachel & Richard's Wedding at Oceancliff
Rachel and Richard celebrated their wedding at OceanCliff in Newport, Rhode Island, creating a day that perfectly reflected their story. Newport has always held a special place in their hearts, and returning to the city where their friendship, love, and commitment grew made their wedding day even more meaningful.
Here’s the edited version, cleaned up for Webflow:
Following a beautiful ceremony at Salve Regina Chapel, guests gathered at OceanCliff to celebrate Rachel and Richard with stunning waterfront views, heartfelt moments, and an unforgettable dance floor.
The Vibe
Rachel and Richard wanted their celebration to feel elegant, timeless, and fun.
Cocktail and dinner music featured classics from Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Michael Bublé, and Fleetwood Mac, creating the perfect atmosphere for a Newport wedding. As the evening progressed, guests filled the dance floor to a mix of throwbacks, singalongs, and modern favorites.
One of the most entertaining parts of the night came courtesy of the groom and his friends. Richard plays in a band nearly every weekend, so it was only fitting that the dance floor was full of energy all night long. A special shoutout to Blurred Vision Band, who traded the stage for the dance floor and spent the night celebrating alongside the newlyweds.
