Nocturne is the next chapter of Design Studio 42, growing from its roots as part of the all-inclusive Mansion by the Sea venue. While the venue is currently unavailable, we continue to deliver the exceptional service it’s known for—and then some. Our reach now spans the Texas Coastal Bend, the beaches of Florida, and select destinations abroad. Our team blends diverse, non-traditional event planning backgrounds, united by shared core values. Above all, we’re committed to making beautiful weddings accessible without the premium price tag.
