The lawyer-turned-hotelier owns and runs Amagansett\u2019s 15-room Roundtree resort, which opened in the summer of 2020. This month, she\u2019ll host the wedding of a couple whose nuptials were twice postponed because many of the bride\u2019s beloveds lived oversees and faced similar travel hurdles. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey sighed with relief that it\u2019s actually h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening,\u201d Wong says. This summer, the Roundtree is booked for six weddings, most for between 200 and 250 guests and slated for May through June and September through October. (They\u2019re spaced out enough to allow its lawns to recover.) Wong agrees that big-day spending has surged. \u201cTypically, you just have a dance floor in the middle of the tent, but we have one couple who\u2019s building one across the entire tent, and another that\u2019s bringing their own furniture in,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Another boho-chic couple has scheduled an entire weekend of spare-no-expense wedding festivities, including yoga sessions on the property, a farm-to-table supper and a late-night DJ.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s a specific reason many NYC couples are opting for a wedding Out East this summer \u2014 at least according to officiant Sarah Ritchie. She just helmed a wedding for a Manhattan couple in Montauk, where the bride\u2019s family has long spent summers. The couple struggled to secure a wedding license in the city, as the clerk\u2019s office remains only sporadically open, a lockdown-era holdover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat administrative glitch can be a real challenge,\u201d Ritchie says of nabbing the vital legal document. \u201cIt varies so much by locality, but it\u2019s much easier out here than in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And easygoing is the new high maintenance when it comes to the fanciest weddings, a vibe shift that Topiaire\u2019s Meaney has experienced firsthand: Floral displays are less formal, and more eclectic, with brides much less insistent on identical arrangements for every surface. \u201cThey\u2019ve gotten a whole lot more chill after everything that\u2019s happened, which is much more enjoyable to work with,\u201d she laughs. \u201cEveryone has let go a little bit. They\u2019re just so happy they\u2019re having a big wedding at all.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
