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!

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!
