Real Wedding Inspiration

We love this couple and their relaxed style.

Jenna Stagliano & Jake Neumann
Bali Hai Restaurant


Calm, relaxed and connected to their family and friends is the way that Jenna Stagliano and Jake Neumann began their journey together, so the intimate island retreat for their guests, based in Shelter Island, was no surprise. The personal ceremony was expressed by their Officiant, Alan Clother, whose details gave guests a glimpse into the history that led them to the altar.  Jenna’s love of dancing and sweets made an appearance at the reception. The bride described the reception as an “asthma-inducing dance extravaganza” and the sweets and cookie table were welcome additions for the crowd. 




Jenna’s Advice: 

“Keep it real and love each other through the process.”
