A Magical South Jersey Wedding at the Shore: Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club Celebration

South Jersey Wedding at Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club: A Celebration of Love, Music & Jersey Shore Magic

This South Jersey wedding was the ultimate summer party — filled with heartfelt moments, nonstop dancing, and that perfect coastal breeze. Set at the beautiful Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club and flawlessly coordinated by Allison Sharkey, it was a day and night guests will be talking about for years.

A Ceremony on the Sand

The day began with a romantic beach ceremony at the end of Holyoke Ave. The couple exchanged vows with the sound of waves in the background and an acoustic guitar providing the perfect soundtrack. From Sky Full of Stars for the family’s entrance, to Canon in D for the bridal party, and a breathtaking walk down the aisle to Spring by Vivaldi — the entire ceremony felt like a scene out of a dream. The recessional to This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) wrapped the moment with pure joy.

Cocktails, Sax, and Sunset Vibes

Guests headed to the yacht club for cocktail hour under a tent, with our sax + keys duo setting the mood. The coastal air, soft tunes, and a stunning sunset made for the perfect lead-up to the party.

The Reception: When South Jersey Shows Up to Dance

The reception started with style and energy: parents entered to Lovely Day, the bridal party to Good Feeling, and the newlyweds to Lil Boo Thang blending into Best of My Love. The first dance to I Love You Always Forever was sweet and spontaneous — setting the tone for a night full of happy, high-energy moments.

From Shut Up and Dance kicking off the dance set to floor-fillers like Murder on the Dancefloor, Mr. Brightside, Hey Ya, Wagon Wheel, All the Small Things, and Higher Love, the deck stayed packed all night long. Highlights included shout-outs for a special anniversary, a birthday tribute that brought down the house to Levels, and even a pirate ship sighting that made for a fun surprise!

The night ended in epic fashion with sparklers, Shout, and Mr. Brightside bringing the party to a perfect close.

A Rock Star Team

Every detail — from timeline to vibe — flowed thanks to the expert coordination of Allison Sharkey. With a top-tier vendor team and incredible energy from family and friends, this wedding captured everything we love about a Jersey Shore celebration.

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

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.
