In May of last year, Brett Vair found herself sitting by the ocean with her then-boyfriend Andrew Bergen, enjoying their solo evening at her parents’ cottage on the south shore. “Suddenly he proposed. It was perfect,” remembers Brett. “Relaxed and personal, totally our style.” That style transferred over to the couple’s wedding day, where the two collaborated with wedding planner Avril Mulholland for a green, purple and fuschia-accented cocktail party at the picturesque St. Mary’s Boat Club. Both Brett and Andrew knew they wanted their day to feel like “one big party,” with the ceremony running right into the reception. There was no sit-down portion to the evening, leaving the guests to mingle at their own pace with hors d’oeuvres, food stations and a candy bar for snacking. The Mellotones set the mood for a late-evening dance party, topping off a night that the couple remembers as “relaxed and fun.”
