The Halloween wedding of our DREAMS. We had so much fun planning with these two amazing people, and the day was absolutely perfect. Honestly can’t believe the vows—almost poetry as they expressed their love for one another. Together with 30 of their closest friends, Ginny + Chrissy celebrated a decade-long love. After the incredible ceremony at the iconic Music Box Theater, the couple joined us over at Divining Space for a dinner of Maggiano’s and a night of horror movies. A low-key, perfect celebration for two of the best humans we’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Congratulations, you wonderful people! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

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!

Just like Earth, Wind and Fire said....On the 21st night of September, Alex and Stephanie's love was changin the minds of pretenders. Alex and Stephanie had an intimate deck wedding with their closest family and friends. The sun was shining as their closest friend officiated and their adorable cat, Miso, watched from the window. When it came time to dance, family and friends created their own dance floor and danced under the night sky. As the night ended, guests were able to enjoy some delicious ice cream from Pretty Cool Ice cream and cool off from the unseasonably warm day. Congratulations Alex and Stephanie! We wish you the best.
