Well, here’s the final episode to Kelly & Liam’s amazing wedding on the beach in Bethany, Delaware.   There so much to tell.   But the photos by Amy Deputy do such an incredible job of giving you the beauty of evening.

After the ceremony (see Kelly & Liam, Part 2), the guests were invited to step over to the cocktail are on the beach.   Who could resist?

The reception took place inside an impeccably constructed tent on the sand by The Party Center.   We had to pay extremely close attention to the tide tables — there was a storm out there somewhere and their wedding was on the night of the high tide.   We weren’t quite sure until the construction was complete exactly what configuration would best suit the shape of the beach on that day.   Further, each piece of the tent had to be carefully transported in from the public access point two miles down the beach via Hummers.   It was quite the process!

The dinner tables were stunning.  We brought in each carefully chosen element on every table crate-by-crate down the long narrow boardwalk leading to the beach where the reception tent was constructed.   Each table eventually became an understated, yet very beautiful, setting for a shared meal among friends and family – dinner was served family style.    There were no large centerpieces; rather the table was colorfully decorated in small arrangements of delphinium orchids and pillar candles placed on beautiful teal seaglass — Expertly created by Beautiful Blooms (as always).

Dinner was served family style by the family’s long-time friend, favorite caterer and restaurateur,  Jamie Weist — owner of Chef Du Jour Catering. Jamie  executed a beautiful and scrumptious presentation.   The guests raved all evening long about the food.   It was wonderful!

There was a surprise in store for the guests after Kelly & Liam’s first dance.  Waiting outside the tent was an amazing Irish Dance team who charmed everyone in the room.  They were absolutely incredible to watch!

Meanwhile, Amy Deputy had one of the best photo booths set up that we’ve encountered.   Everyone took a turn and had a blast.

As the night was drawing to a close, we had just one more surprise in store for everyone who came to celebrate Kelly & Liams incredible wedding.

Fireworks straight ahead.

It was a truly great wedding.   It was hard to say goodnight.

It was a truly enchanting night.   We see an amazing future of love and laughter in the lives of these two extraordinary people.
