Weddings that feel like coming home

A little about us

We are the planners your friends told you about

We’re old souls at heart — the kind of hosts who believe a welcome drink should be waiting, the flowers should look like they were gathered that morning, and every single guest should feel like they were always meant to be in the room. Beacon & Berkeley is built on relationships and a deep love for the moments that become the stories your family tells for decades.

What sets us apart

The things that matter to us

01

We only take on what we can love

We work with a small, intentional number of couples each year — not for scarcity's sake, but because your wedding deserves undivided attention, genuine enthusiasm, and a planner who still knows your florist's first name on a random Tuesday in October.

02

We know the rooms before you walk in

The best vendors in Nantucket, on the Cape, in Boston and DC don't advertise. They work with people they trust. Our relationships are earned over years, and they quietly become your advantage — from the perfect tent company to the caterer who can genuinely host 200 people beautifully and warmly.

03

Soul before style

We're not here to chase a trend. We're here to understand who you are — how you host, the music that shaped you, the coastal Saturday mornings you love — and build something nostalgic, chic, and so distinctly you that your guests feel it the moment they arrive.

04

You relax. We carry it.

The week before your wedding should feel like anticipation, not logistics. We take on every detail — gracefully, quietly, completely — so that when you arrive, all you have to do is be present. That is, genuinely, the whole point.

How we work together

An unhurried, thoughtful process from your first hello to the last slow dance — designed so you feel held, not managed, at every step.

01

The Conversation

We sit down — really sit down. We want to know how you host, how you feel at a party, and what kind of day will make you both say, "This was exactly us."

02

The Vision

From palette and mood to paper and florals, we build a design world that is quietly, unmistakably yours — rooted in the nostalgic and elevated by the chic.

03

The Build

We curate, negotiate, and coordinate every vendor and detail. The people we bring in are the best for your celebration specifically — not just the most available.

04

The Day

We are on the ground, invisibly. Every contingency is handled before you'd ever know it needed to be. You walk in. You are welcomed. You celebrate.
