If you want to get married on a beach on Long Island, you have plenty of options. I love Gatsby on the Ocean at Jones Beach. Larissa and Stephen chose this beautiful wedding venue because it has a lot to offer! Delicious food, stunning setting, and high-level service that will impress most visitors.

Here are a few details from Larissa and Stephen’s big day at this wonderful Long Island waterfront wedding venue at Gatsby on the Ocean in Jones Beach State Park.

Getting Ready at Gatsby on the Ocean

One of the perks of the Gatsby on the Ocean is the stylish bridal suite’s. They have everything a bride and groom needs to get ready for their wedding. Larissa picked a stunning, elegant white dress and a few lovely details. The decoration and the bouquet in a white and royal blue combo blended well in the lavish suite setting.

The bridal suite was comfortable, and Larissa had enough time to enjoy time with her friends and family between hair and make up. We took preparation photos and had fun. Larissa truly enjoyed a luxury experience.

Gatsby On The Ocean Indoor Ceremony

Although the couple got ready right across the hall from each other, their first look happened as Larissa walked down the aisle. Due to the winter weather, the wedding ceremony was held indoors.

Everybody listened attentively as the couple exchanged their vows. Larissa and Stephen couldn’t hide their excitement when the ceremony was complete!

Portraits

Gatsby on the Ocean is one of the most beautiful beach wedding venues on Long Island. We took portraits inside and focused on the people and beautiful indoor spaces.

We had a short moment in front of the venue and near the massive, grand bar. Gatsby on the Ocean photos, indoor and outdoor, emphasize this stunning venue.

Reception

The first dance was a great intro to the cheerful reception! The Gatsby on the Ocean menu for this wedding was more than delicious, and every guest had plenty of options to choose from.

In addition, the signature drinks, Moscow Mule and Old Fashioned cocktails, were excellent! Many Gatsby on the Ocean reviews focus on the professional kitchen staff and bartenders. We agree they are exceptional! The service was professional, everyone was kind, and overall impressions were incredibly positive.

People at the reception enjoyed their time with the DJ. Tommy’s Tunes created an entertaining atmosphere and played the right songs at the right moments. At some point, everyone in the hall was on their feet. We took compelling photos on the dance floor and captured authentic moments!

Speeches

A memorable part of Larissa and Stephen’s wedding were the speeches. The bridesmaids’ speeches were touching and creative. But the best man stole the show with his entertaining speech in which he shared a few exciting stories about Stephen.

As a Long Island wedding photographer, I enjoy capturing candid moments and emotions on people’s faces. Those weren’t lacking during this part of the evening!
