Could there be two more perfect people? Hannah + Shannon are so impressive, brilliant, and unbelievably gracious and kind. We had the best time coordinating their wedding and were so honored to be a part of it. From the Lord of the Rings music to the sweetest vows to the glow sticks on the dance floor, these two were smiling all day. So in love, so sweet, and so. much. fun.

Congratulations, and we wish you two a wonderful life together! Cheers!

What a perfect start to our year! We absolutely love when the family of previous clients reach out to us and we could not wait to coordinate Megan’s wedding after her sister Kate’s in 2019. It. Was. A. Blast. M+J are so in love, you guys. It is so sweet to witness. They both wear their hearts on their sleeves and are so effusively emotional. Our favorite way to be.

From the ceremony to the PAR-TAY, these two were connected and together, celebrating with their friends and family with gigantic smiles and sweet words. A truly fantastic day.

Felicidades, you gorgeous kids! Wishing you a long and happy life together!

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.

Alyssa and Jack got married on a crisp November evening just before dusk. Under the magic of twinkling lights at Meson Sabika, these two love birds became husband and wife as guests watched bundled up in their complementary blankets. After the ceremony, guests found their way through the gorgeous grounds to the reception hall decorated with incredible, lush floral and candles aglow everywhere. In this picturesque setting, a delectable multi course tapas dinner was served. Once everyone had enjoyed their meals, the band, Maggie Speaks, tore the house down and kept the dance floor packed all evening long. It was a wonderful way for Jack and Alyssa to start their happily-ever-after together!
