Leslie Merinoff Kwasnieski & Brian Kwasnieski have created something truly special in The Lin Beach House — a historic space reimagined with a chic, thoughtful sensibility. It’s the kind of setting that feels both intimate and elevated, where texture, character, and atmosphere come together effortlessly. One can easily imagine it becoming a sought-after backdrop for celebrations that feel personal, stylish, and entirely their own.
The evening came to life through a collective of creatives who each brought their signature touch. Lauren Lombardi’s artful, beautifully presented culinary displays set the tone, adding warmth and refinement to the space. Her attention to detail and understated presence made the entire experience feel thoughtful and welcoming, and guests couldn’t stop talking about the presentation.
Joseph Coleman of Matchbook Distillery created a moment all his own. The procession of meticulously crafted cocktails felt theatrical in the best way — an experience within the evening that captured attention and sparked conversation. It was a standout detail that left a lasting impression.
Lori Pannullo of Ace Party & Tent Rental curated elements that complemented the space beautifully, allowing the room to feel cohesive, fluid, and inviting. Every choice enhanced the character of The Lin without overpowering it.
Christina Padrazo of The Treatery, known for her beautifully crafted tiramisu and classic, perfectly baked chocolate chip cookies, brought both sweetness and spirit. Her presence is as memorable as her creations, adding a sense of warmth that guests naturally gravitated toward.
Ursula XVII of Disset Chocolate introduced her HIS & HERS signature bon-bons — a detail that felt personal, indulgent, and quietly luxurious. These beautifully crafted confections feel destined to become a trending addition to elevated wedding welcome bags across the East End.
Betsy Liegey of True Elizabeth Flowers selected arrangements that felt perfectly in step with the personality of The Lin, adding softness and effortless beauty to the setting.
Nicole Delgado of East End Sticker Vend – the custom sticker experience was an instant favorite, giving guests something playful and personal to take home.
Lauren Dyer’s vocals floated effortlessly through the space, her voice soft and captivating, adding a romantic energy that felt almost cinematic at times — truly a voice of an angel. The music created a beautiful backdrop for the evening, setting a tone that felt both intimate and memorable.
Mia Santa Cruz of Santa Cruz Photography moved quietly through the room, capturing the energy, the laughter, and the fleeting in-between moments. Alexis of AV Content Limited documented the night in motion, creating reels that perfectly reflect the excitement and atmosphere of the celebration.
Behind the scenes, Janelle, Lori, Rita, Erin, Vita, Estefany and Nicole stepped in to help with everything, ensuring the evening came together seamlessly. And to our team at hamptonBRIDE — it is an honor to build something meaningful alongside such talent and dedication.
This night marked the beginning of something we believe will grow into a powerful platform for the East End wedding industry. We are proud to shine a light on the creativity, artistry, and passion that live here, and to help bring well-deserved visibility to those shaping unforgettable celebrations.
Here’s to an exciting 2026 and the beautiful momentum ahead.
