Some wedding days feel like pure magic from start to finish, and Kaitlyn and Billy’s Ocean House wedding in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, was exactly that. On a perfect June day with blue skies and ocean breezes, their celebration captured the essence of coastal elegance.



The Ocean House is known for its sweeping ocean views and classic New England charm, making it the ideal backdrop for Kaitlyn and Billy’s timeless summer wedding. Their ceremony took place on the East Lawn, framed by manicured greens and the Atlantic shimmering beyond. The bride looked radiant in her classic gown, surrounded by an all-white floral design that let the beauty of the setting shine.
Guests moved to the South Lawn for cocktails beside the Croquet Court, where signature drinks, laughter, and panoramic ocean views created the perfect transition from ceremony to celebration. Dinner on the Seaside Terrace offered an unforgettable open-air experience as the sunset painted the sky in cotton candy hues. Heartfelt toasts from the couple’s brothers filled the air with warmth and love, setting the tone for an evening that felt both elegant and personal.




When the party moved inside to the Seaside Ballroom, guests were greeted by a sleek black dance floor and an incredible performance by Nightshift Band. From the first song, the dance floor stayed full, the energy high, and the joy contagious.
Every detail of this Ocean House wedding came together seamlessly, from thoughtful transitions between spaces to the perfect blend of refinement and fun. As the night came to a close, with smiles all around and the ocean just beyond, it was clear this was a wedding at the Ocean House no one would soon forget – the perfect mix of love, beauty, and coastal magic.
