Amber & Jason

“We knew that Newport would be our ‘go to’ wedding location because it offered everything we were looking for and more in order to make our dream beach wedding a reality.”

Amber O’Toole and Jason Whitehouse on August 28, 2015

Rhode Island natives Amber O’Toole and Jason Whitehouse met on a dinner date set up by a mutual friend with a good eye. The pair spoke on and off after their initial meeting but Jason always knew that he would marry Amber. The relationship smoothly blossomed and led to a magical day in Orlando, Florida. On a summer vacation, Jason got down on one knee at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, witnessed by the one and only, Mickey Mouse. It truly was the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ for the newly engaged couple. –DS

Beach Theme

The menu included seafaring items such as New England clam chowder and clam cakes served in red and white clam shack boats. A three-tier wedding cake was transformed into a delectable coastal vision with edible dune grass, seashells, and two Adirondack chairs.

Special Touches

Blue and white striped and coral linens, plus quintessential starfish and anchors beautifully complemented the beach theme.

The Reception

The Rotunda Ballroom overlooking Easton’s Beach offered majestic views for the seaside nuptials. “When we saw the antique carousel, we both agreed that it would add a unique dimension to our wedding day.”

Where Are They Now

After sunning in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the newlyweds returned to their home in Warwick where Amber is an early childhood educator and Jason is a Navy Special Operations senior accountant.
