AELO Alumni | Brooke + Mac, 11/16/24

VENUE: ARTIFACT EVENTS | PHOTOGRAPHY: INDI COLLECTIVE | CATERING: HEARTY BOYS | DJ: SELECT VIBE DJ | STYLISTS: RAREBIRD BEAUTIES | CEREMONY MUSIC: CASTELLON ENSEMBLE | FLORALS: STUDIO POPPY | CAKE: SWEET ELIZA | TRANSPORTATION: OML | PHOTO BOOTH: HIPSTR

What an incredible night. Brooke + Mac are so in love, and we loved being a part of celebrating it. When the bride and groom surprise each other with the same vow: “I promise to point out every dog I see” you know it’s meant to be. The emotional ceremony was followed by a rockin’ party where the bride and groom opened the dance floor with a karaoke song. Before that, the Best Man and his wife—our former clients Amanda and Chris!!—brought the room to tears with a sweet slideshow of Brooke and Mac’s life together.

It was the best night ever. Congratulations to two of the sweetest. We know your life together is going to be beautiful.

We love a brunch wedding! What a wonderful group of people. Taylor and Jason planned their day down to the very last detail, and it came together beautifully. Production people themselves, they knew exactly how they wanted their day to go and it was flawless. Their ceremony had everyone in tears, and their talented friends and fam surrounded them all day with projections and songs and even a surprise dance from the Father of the Bride! What a joy it is to work with people like T+J. We are so lucky.

Congratulations, you two! We know you’re going to have an incredible, creative, fun life together!
