For couples who see their wedding venue as a horizon line — open, expansive, and serene — where modern design meets the endless rhythm of the sea.
Coastal Modern is for the couple who feels most alive with salt air in their lungs and horizon lines at their feet. These weddings thrive in clean, minimalist settings where ocean and architecture flow together seamlessly. It’s not about ornate detail but about clarity: whitewashed walls, sweeping views, and calm that feels infinite.
