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.

When a couple chooses “5,000 Candles in the Wind (Bye, Bye, Lil’ Sebastian)” for their last dance song of the night, you know it’s going to be a good one. Rebecca and Andrew are truly wonderful people who didn’t let the threat of rain get to them! The skies made for some gorgeous photos, the roses from Flowers for Dreams were just outrageous, and their love shone all over the day. What a joy to be a part of this one. Congratulations, you two!

Live jazz trio and roaming magicians kept guests entertained as they watched the Air and Water show in the distance. Into the evening, traditional Serbian music kept guests on the dance floor and a Garrett's popcorn favor bar kept guests stomachs full. The night was a perfect balance of uniqueness and tradition; truly showcasing why these two are meant for each other.
