A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Mandy & Nav’s Fire Island Frenzy
The rockin’ couple Mandy and Nav were married at Fire Island, and had quite the celebration! Interesting fact: no cars allowed on the island! You take a ferry to get there, and then you bike around or tote your stuff with wagons! Mandy and Nav got ready in an adorable section of the island, surrounded by shops and restaurants! They tied the knot on the beach and had the reception at Flynn’s, a popular bar on the water. Printed CDs served as programs which tied into their awesome musical invites. After the ceremony a bagpipe parade led the 100+ guests to the reception party…how awesome is that?!
Ready for more musical details? Each table was named after a favorite band (like u2 and AC/DC), matching backstage passes were given out with lanyards that guests could wear, and their cake looked exactly like a record! During the reception, Nav also showed off his dancing skills with a Michael Jackson performance and a fantastic band cafe performed lots of fun songs. To finish the night off with a bang fire dancers at a nearby bar performed on the beach!
