A New Year’s Eve Wedding at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, Where Coastal Elegance Meets Modern Refinement

As the final sunset of the year dipped behind Sarasota Bay, casting a warm glow over The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, Laura & Ryley welcomed guests to an evening of refined celebration and modern coastal luxury. Their New Year’s Eve wedding was designed to be effortlessly sophisticated—where timeless elegance met contemporary style, and every detail was curated with intention.

Beneath the flicker of candlelight and the soft shimmer of tastefully placed disco accents, the ballroom transformed into a scene that felt both festive and polished. The design leaned into a neutral, modern aesthetic, with sleek floral arrangements, clean lines, and metallic details that reflected the couple’s understated yet elevated vision.

As midnight approached, glasses were raised in a champagne toast, welcoming the new year with the same excitement and joy that filled the room all evening. It was a celebration of love, style, and the effortless luxury that defines Sarasota Bay weddings—a night where every moment felt as timeless as it was unforgettable.
