A Summer Wedding at Bourne Mansion: Music, Magic & An Unforgettable Party

This summer wedding at Long Island’s iconic Bourne Mansion was a celebration filled with love, unforgettable live music, and nonstop dancing. From a romantic outdoor ceremony to a packed dance floor, TI Fusion Band helped create a truly magical experience.

TI Fusion Band had the absolute pleasure of performing for Nicholas and Julia’s stunning summer wedding at the iconic Bourne Mansion — one of Long Island’s most breathtaking venues. With 180 guests ready to celebrate, the night was set for a perfect blend of elegance and high-energy fun.

Ceremony: A Picture-Perfect Start

The evening began with a romantic outdoor ceremony on the mansion’s grand lawn. Our string duo filled the air with beautiful melodies as guests took their seats. Julia chose classic pieces that fit the setting perfectly — “Canon in D” for her entrance and a joyful “Viva La Vida” for the recessional.

Officiated by Msgr. Jim Lisante, the ceremony was heartfelt, personal, and unforgettable.

Cocktail Hour: Relaxed & Refined

Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the terrace, with live background music creating the perfect mood. The vibe was easy and sophisticated — the calm before the dance floor came to life.

Reception: A Party for the Ages

From the moment Nicholas and Julia made their entrance to “Like a Prayer”, the energy in the room was electric. Their first dance, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”, started as a sweet duet and opened up to include their guests — the perfect way to kick off the celebration.

One of the most touching moments of the night came during the father-daughter dance. Julia’s dad chose “You’re My Best Friend” — a song he used to play for her as a baby — bringing a beautiful, full-circle moment to the day.

The mother-son dance (“Lovely Day”) and a fun “Dancing Queen” dedication to Julia’s mom Dana kept the energy and love flowing.

From ABBA to Bon Jovi, Queen, The Killers, Lady Gaga and more, the band kept the dance floor packed all night long. The Tarantella was a huge hit, and we closed with “Shout” — the perfect finale before the afterparty kept things going well into the night.
