A Cape May Tented Wedding on Congress Hall’s Grand Lawn

March 18, 2021
Weddings

John proposed to Maddie on the beach in Cape May, so it makes perfect sense that they chose historic Congress Hall for their outdoor wedding reception after getting married inside at Our Lady Star of the Sea. Their gracious 66′ x 86′ Sperry Tent was setup on the Grand Lawn with a full floor base. Maddie’s gorgeous silk strapless gown by Monique Lhuillier set the tone for the subtly glam yet timeless October 2019 nuptials.

After dinner and speeches, BVT Live!’s Jellyroll kept everyone dancing well into the evening. Extra treats for family and guests included a cigar bar set up on the lawn and a Mister Softee ice cream truck. A sparkler salute wrapped up the evening. Every detail was perfectly planned by The Styled Bride.

This wedding was featured in Vue NJ’s 2020 Bridal issue.
