The Doctor’s Office / after party

Dan is best summed up by his choice of signature cocktail- an Old Fashioned, as his ideal wedding focused on the happiness of his bride, family, and friends. Hannah, more comfortable riding her horses than being the center of attention, wanted an elegant, yet simple event. Surrounded by eighty of their closest friends and family, visiting from California to South Carolina, Dan and Hannah wed on the white sand of Holmes Beach. The bridesmaids and bridesman looked elegant in iris, the gorgeous hue picking up the tones of the sky after sunset while the groomsmen were dapper in navy blue. They dined beachside on lobster rolls, prime American beef tenderloin, and fresh line-caught Gulf grouper.

For the happily-ever-after-party, they headed to The Doctor’s Office, a reservation-only craft cocktail bar. The establishment was formerly an actual doctor’s office where generations of Islanders received medication, advice, stitches, and acts of kindness and goodwill.
