Laura and Tim’s wedding at Navy Beach Montauk was the perfect blend of coastal charm and timeless romance. Their day unfolded right on the sand, where sun-kissed waters met cotton candy–colored skies — the kind of Montauk moment that feels straight out of a dream.
We were connected through Kristin Patton of Deborah Minarik Events, whose calm energy and creative eye helped bring everything together seamlessly. Kristin has a natural gift for crafting weddings that flow beautifully and honor each couple’s story.
Laura and Tim’s connection runs deep — both veterinarians, they first met through their shared love of animals, which made their bond feel as natural as the ocean breeze surrounding their day. They got ready at Tim’s family home in Montauk, a place filled with memories and meaning. Their first look took place overlooking the beach — a quiet, emotional moment before the celebration began.
Both the ceremony and reception were held at Navy Beach Montauk, creating a seamless flow from vows to sunset celebration. The ceremony, beautifully led by NY Officiants, was heartfelt and personal — set right on the sand with waves gently rolling behind them. NY Officiants is known for creating warm, customized ceremonies that celebrate each couple’s story, bringing both professionalism and sincerity to every moment.
As the sun dipped lower, guests enjoyed cocktails and coastal fare while the beach transformed before our eyes. Laughter, music, and the sound of the ocean carried into the night — the perfect Montauk ending. To top it all off, Dolce & Gelato Catering arrived toward the end of the reception, serving gelato that had everyone smiling. It was such a fun and memorable way to close out a perfect evening by the water.
As an increasingly popular Hamptons wedding venue, this Montauk restaurant offers unparalleled views, a serene ambiance, and impeccable service. Say “I do” against the backdrop of sun-kissed waters and cotton candy sunsets, and explore their tailored wedding packages designed to bring your dream beach wedding to life.
