Welcome

We’re so happy
you’re here.

After nine wonderful years together, we cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.

Our wedding weekend will be filled with beautiful views, incredible food, great music, lots of dancing, and memories we’ll cherish forever.

Thank you for making the trip to Newport. It means more than you know.

With love, Taylor & Kyle

Our Story

Best friends first.

Some love stories begin with a grand introduction. Ours began at the gym, where Kyle’s cousin—and Taylor’s good friend—introduced us. What started as a friendship quietly grew into something more.

Nearly a decade later, we have built a life filled with laughter, loyalty, adventure, family, and—of course—our two dogs, Cooper and Tucker.

On New Year’s Eve, in the middle of a beautiful snowstorm, Kyle asked Taylor to spend forever with him. With only the two of us and our dogs there, it was intimate, perfectly us, and one of the happiest moments of our lives.

Now, we cannot wait to begin our next chapter and celebrate with all of you in Newport.

The People Beside Us

Our Wedding Party

These are the people who have cheered us on, stood beside us through every season, and helped shape the lives we share today. We are endlessly grateful for their love, friendship, and support—and we could not imagine celebrating this moment without them by our side.

Why Newport?

When we began searching for our wedding venue, we knew we wanted somewhere that felt timeless, romantic, and unforgettable. The moment we walked into Belle Mer’s Island House, we knew.

The waterfront views, intimate setting, beautiful lawn, and elegant architecture perfectly reflect the celebration we envisioned.

Getting Here

Newport is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes from central Connecticut. We recommend arriving early enough to settle in and enjoy the city.
