Darcy & Justin’s Vibrant Modern Wedding at The Westin in Downtown Sarasota, Florida

Darcy and Justin’s wedding at The Westin in Sarasota, Florida was a bold, modern celebration filled with vibrant color and heartfelt tradition. The Ceremony, held in the Triton Ballroom, beautifully balanced sleek design with meaningful moments. A tallis draped the chuppah as the couple exchanged vows, following a private ketubah signing surrounded by close family. Clear chiavari chairs from Palacios created a clean, modern look while allowing the bright florals to pop against a crisp black-and-white palette.

Cocktail Hour on the terrace offered guests a breath of fresh air and a stunning view before the party moved back into the ballroom for an unforgettable reception. White linens and black napkins added striking contrast to each table, while vivid florals in magenta, peach, orange, and pink brought energy and warmth to the space. The décor was minimal yet impactful, creating a high-style atmosphere that perfectly matched the couple’s modern vision.

As the evening unfolded, The Phase5Band brought the dance floor to life with nonstop entertainment and infectious energy. Custom cocktail napkins and other personal touches made the celebration feel uniquely theirs, combining tradition, personality, and a bold aesthetic. Darcy and Justin’s wedding was a stunning showcase of love, color, and style—from start to finish.
