In true Grey's Anatomy fashion, Christiana and Matt met when she was his resident at the hospital where they both work as doctors. Christiana's mother even had a fake newspaper printed for all of their guests, explaining not only their origin story, but the events of the weekend to unfold. They had a stunning ceremony at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, followed by cocktails, dinner and dancing at the beautiful Palmer House hotel. The traditional Greek family dances were a highlight of this lovely wedding, and everyone had a blast!

What a FABULOUS couple! We absolutely loved being a part of Kiki and Pete's wedding. They were so sweet, gorgeous, generous, and fun. And what a party they can throw! All of Kiki's carefully planned details came together to create a glamorous atmosphere. Their guests danced the night away and everyone had a blast. We wish you all the best, you two!

This wedding was a lot of fun to put together! Francie and Mike are movie buffs, so they got married in an old theater and their table numbers were actually posters of their favorite old movies. They offered hot sauce as their guest favors, Francie's brother showed up in a bear costume (an old family wedding joke?) and we hung up dozens dazzling lights in a sheet behind their sweetheart table which added so much romance to the guest's view. It was about as eclectic as our events get, and we loved every minute of it!
