Meet The Wedding Expert

When couples begin planning their wedding at Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club, one of the first — and most important— relationships they form is with their wedding planner. For many Ocean Edge couples, that expert is Harmony Toner, our Director of Catering. 

Known for her calm presence, thoughtful guidance, and exceptional attention to detail, Harmony plays a pivotal role in transforming a couple’s vision into an unforgettable Cape Cod wedding weekend. From first tours to final farewells, she ensures each celebration feels effortless, personal, and beautifully executed. 

A Setting That Inspires Every Celebration

What Harmony loves most about planning weddings at Ocean Edge is how naturally the property sets the stage. 

“Ocean Edge is effortlessly beautiful,” she says. “Between the coastal setting, the architecture, and the flow of the property, it offers a true Cape Cod experience while still feeling elevated and refined. Every wedding feels personal—never cookie-cutter.” 

With sweeping bay views, historic architecture, and a variety of indoor and outdoor venues, Ocean Edge allows couples to create a celebration that feels entirely their own—whether that means an elegant Mansion reception, a sunset lawn ceremony, a sunset beach wedding on our private stretch of sand, or a full wedding weekend filled with coastal experiences using the wide range of amenities and activities available on property (think golf for the guys, spa for the girls, and a private beach fire or biking excursion for all!). 

Advice for Newly Engaged Couples 

Harmony’s first piece of advice is simple—but often overlooked. 

“Take a moment to enjoy it,” she says. “Before diving into planning, celebrate this season together and talk about what truly matters to you both. Once you’re aligned on priorities and vision, every decision becomes so much easier.” 

She also encourages couples to let go of unnecessary stress. The tiny details—napkin colors, perfect symmetry, matching every element—aren’t what guests remember.

“Guests remember how the day felt,” Harmony explains. “Not the micro-decisions.” 

Wedding Trends Harmony Loves (Now & Looking Ahead to 2026) 

Current wedding trends, Harmony notes, are moving away from excess and toward intention. 

She’s loving layered textures, soft coastal color palettes, and meaningful design elements—details that feel personal rather than overdone. Thoughtful welcome moments and elevated dining experiences are also making a strong impression. 

Looking ahead to 2026 weddings, Harmony is especially excited about more guest-focused celebrations. 

“Couples are creating curated weekend experiences with unique entertainment and design that reflects their story—not just what’s trending on social media. We're seeing more couples weave their personal story into the events; using elements from their shared and separate pasts to tell their story through their tablescapes and decor, like our recent bride Jess who grew up on Cape Cod and used the names of our quaint beach towns as the central theme to their seating chart, even curating a custom map of The Cape as a creative visual element at their reception."

At the same time, some elements never go out of style. 

“Great photography, beautiful florals, and a well-thought-out timeline are always worth the investment,” she says. “They have the biggest impact on both the day itself and how it’s remembered.” 

Planning Ahead for 2026 

For couples planning a 2026 wedding, Harmony emphasizes the importance of early planning—especially on Cape Cod. 

“Venues, photographers, and bands book quickly, particularly for peak dates,” she explains. “Entertainment, photography, and hair and makeup teams tend to fill up early—especially vendors who know the property well.” 

Securing key vendors early allows couples to plan with confidence and enjoy the process rather than rushing through it. 

A Wedding Weekend, Thoughtfully Curated 

One of the things that truly sets an Ocean Edge wedding apart is the ability to turn a celebration into a complete weekend experience—without guests ever needing to leave the resort. 

With miles of coastal paths, a Nicklaus design championship golf course, a full-service spa, pickleball and tennis courts, kayaking, biking, yoga classes, pools, and beach access, couples can design a wedding itinerary that feels as relaxed or as lively as they want it to be. 

From welcome cocktails and rehearsal dinners to beach bonfires, spa mornings, golf rounds, and farewell brunches, Harmony helps couples think beyond the ceremony and reception to create a weekend that feels intentional and seamless. 

“Couples love being able to host everything in one place,” Harmony says. “It allows guests to slow down, connect, and fully enjoy the experience—without worrying about logistics or travel.” 

And with 429 acres of coastal beauty and a wide array of activities, the weekend celebration can be as unique as the couples themselves.

Whether guests are seeking quiet moments by the water or an activity-filled escape, Ocean Edge offers something for everyone, transforming a wedding into a true destination celebration on Cape Cod.

The Moment That Never Gets Old 

After planning countless weddings, Harmony still has a favorite moment. 

“It’s the quiet pause right before the ceremony begins,” she shares. “Watching a father and daughter take a breath together before walking down the aisle—that moment is incredibly meaningful. It’s timeless, emotional, and one of my favorite parts of the day.” 

What Harmony Hopes Couples Remember 

When couples look back on their Ocean Edge wedding, Harmony hopes one thing stands out above all else: 

“How it felt—joyful, relaxed, and completely them. I want them to remember being present, surrounded by the people they love, in a place that made the day feel truly special.”
