About the day
Melissa and Ian envisioned an intimate ceremony paired with a laidback, artsy reception that still felt elevated and intentional.
What I’m most proud of
Staying true to their vision — a relaxed, creative celebration with an elevated patio grazing reception that felt effortless yet refined.
The biggest challenge
Sourcing décor and rental items within budget while thoughtfully incorporating and styling personal DIY elements brought by the couple.
A favorite memory
Transforming a simple gazebo into the unforgettable “DiscoZEBO” — twinkle lights, photographs of loved ones, and space to dance. And, of course, the moment the bacon-on-a-stick appeared.
