For bride Madelyn Redmond Leindecker, there was only one wedding venue that would do.

Rosecliff Mansion in Rhode Island (which was the iconic site of filming for the first The Great Gatsby) set the perfect scene for a classic vibe the bride envisioned, expertly showcasing the natural beauty of the venue with help from wedding planners Tiffany Pilgrim and Maranda Cardinale of August Events.

With showstopping white floral arrangements, plenty of candles and even a gospel choir during the cocktail hour, all set against the waterfront backdrop and stunning ballroom of the mansion, Redmond’s dream became a reality.

The groom, Cobin Leindecker, agrees with his wife that their wedding location created the best atmosphere and intimate experience they were hoping for, even with the event being far from home.
