Morning rain didn’t stop Anne and Nate from having the best day ever with their family and friends and we had a great time with all of them. The day started with photos around the loop, followed by a gorgeous formal wedding ceremony at St. Michael’s Church. Then we traveled to Lacuna Lofts were a stunningly stylish reception awaited guests. You could distinctly feel the love and affection felt for Anne and Nate radiating in the room. It was a dream. This was one of our last events of 2018 and it was so nice to draw it to a close with such lovely people in an awesome place. Congratulations!

What to even say about these two cuties! We absolutely loved working with Meghan + Daniel. They are super sweet and kind, had a great vision, and Meghan had so many lists, it made our job so easy! We loved the simple elegance of their day, and we loved that they chowed down on Five Guys after their ceremony. From the venue, to the food, to the band, it was a excellently planned day filled with so much love and laughter.

Congratulations, Meghan + Danny! We know you’ll have a beautiful life (and get a beautiful dog!) together!

What an incredible wedding! What an incredible couple!

The baraat was super fun, the ceremony was beautiful, the food from Kama Bistro was outstanding, and that dance floor did not stop!

What a beautiful time we had with Sandra + Dan. These two tied the knot earlier this year in the Cayman Islands and had an incredible reception in August. We had a wonderful time taking Sandra's vision and bringing it to life with a team of incredible vendors! Everything came together beautifully for a classy evening during which they danced to The Modern Sounds, with a special guest, incredible blues vocalist Oscar Wilson, and everyone went away with meringues from Sugar Fixe, with custom artwork by Dan's brother. 

It was an evening that truly reflected a wonderful couple, and we'll miss them! Congratulations, newlyweds!

What a beautiful night! We had the best time with this gorgeous couple. Erin + Steven are an incredibly generous, kind pair of educators and we were thrilled to be a part of their day. The ceremony at St. Ben's, the parish Erin grew up in, was gorgeous, the humidity abated for a beautiful cocktail hour on the roof of Ignite, the toasts were so sweet, and then they partied their butts off. Such a fun couple, such wonderful guests, a great team of vendors...we couldn't ask for anything more.

Congratulations, Erin + Steven! We wish you a long, happy life together.
