​Taryn and Andrew envisioned an easy, peaceful wedding—and that’s exactly what they created at Westside Inn in Manteo. With its serene soundfront views, lush greenery, and spacious grounds, the venue was the perfect all-in-one spot to host their celebration and enjoy a few relaxing days with loved ones before saying “I do.”

Westside Inn allowed them to keep things simple, without sacrificing elegance. The couple kept their décor neutral and organic, letting the beauty of the waterfront property shine. A driftwood ceremony arch, soft florals, and natural wood accents blended seamlessly into the landscape. Under a clear tent, the reception felt like a true garden gathering, complete with hanging greenery, twinkle lights, and intimate family-style tables.

For Taryn and Andrew, what mattered most was the ease of being together and being present. With their wedding party staying on-site, and no need to shuttle between venues, they were able to focus on what really counted: love, laughter, and quality time surrounded by friends and family.

It was a celebration that was effortlessly beautiful—and a perfect reflection of them.

This wedding is featured in the 2025 issue of Outer Banks Weddings magazine.
