Make. That. Entrance.

You’ve sealed the deal, taken your just-married photos, and now it’s time to rejoin the party—as newlyweds!

The reception entrance is your moment to shine, hype up the crowd, and kick off the next chapter of the celebration. Cue the music, get the energy flowing, and strut in like the main characters (because you are). 🎶

This is the moment your guests have been waiting for—and it’s all about YOU. So smile big, dance it out, soak it in, and let the celebration begin!

The “I do’s” are done.​​​​​​​​
The speeches have wrapped. ​​​​​​​​
The cake has been cut (and maybe smashed a little). ​​​​​​​​
Now… it’s time to DANCE. 💃🕺​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There’s something magical about the moment the dance floor kicks off — when the formalities fade, the stress melts away, and everyone lets loose under the stars. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
At Linden Gardens, surrounded by trees and twinkle lights, it’s like stepping into a fairytale… with a killer playlist.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These are the moments your cheeks hurt from smiling, your heels are off, and your heart is full.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here’s to barefoot moves, unexpected breakdancing uncles, and the best night ever.​​​​​​​​

Repeat after us: It doesn't have to be cake.

Love donuts? Great. Obsessed with sour keys? Weird, but okay. Grandma makes a killer butter tart? YES PLEASE.

Your wedding dessert should be something you actually like—not something that just “looks good in photos.” (Although let’s be honest, an ice cream sandwich tower is a moment.)

So go ahead, overthink your seating chart, your vows, your contingency plan for the flower dog…
But dessert?
Just pick your fave and let guests thank you with sticky fingers and happy sighs.

Let’s hear it for the gents! 🎩

Sure, it might only take 15 minutes to throw on a suit and tie... but that doesn’t mean the wedding morning should be rushed or overlooked.

The “getting ready” time isn’t just for the ladies — it’s a chance for the guys to slow down, soak it all in, and make some memories with their favorite crew before walking down the aisle.

Order your go-to specialty coffee ☕ (or that signature cocktail), blast your favorite playlist, swap stories, eat something actually good, and laugh ‘til your face hurts.

And don’t forget to have your photographer capture it all. These are the moments that set the tone for the day.

Because getting ready is more than just getting dressed — it’s part of the celebration.

Let’s talk about the unofficial rules of cocktail hour.
Because nothing kills the vibe faster than hangry guests, dry mouths, and no sign of the newlyweds. So here’s the deal:

Rule 1: Keep them hydrated — and yes, we mean water too. Not just margaritas.
Rule 2: Feed the people! A well-fed guest is a happy guest. Think passed canapes, snack stations, or a grazing board.
Rule 3: Give them something to do. Live music, lawn games, or just a cozy corner to mingle. Boredom isn’t invited.
Rule 4: Don’t disappear for the entire hour doing photos. These people came to see YOU. Make an appearance, soak in the love, and grab a mini grilled cheese while you’re at it.

Cocktail hour should feel effortless, fun, and full of connection — not like a waiting room for dinner.

Need help pulling it all together? That’s where we come in. 😉

First Look vs. No First Look

Some couples choose a quiet, private first look to soak it in without an audience. Others wait for the aisle moment, letting the anticipation build all morning. There’s no “right” way — just your way. Because whether it’s early in the day or when the music starts, that first look is less about tradition and more about connection (and your timeline! 🤣)

How do we pull off so many amazing wedding celebrations all in one season?
A great team of planners and assistants
A lot of planning
A little luck
And a kick ass vendor team...

It takes A LOT to pull of a stunning event. A pretty view and great wine certainly helps but the people you hire to bring your vision together MATTER. Plan your team wisely!

It’s the magical moments that make your wedding day unforgettable.

The tight squeeze from your grandma.
The slightly unhinged but totally hilarious speech from your bridesmaid.
That teary-eyed first look with your dad (like Alexine’s sweet moment here 😭❤️).
And of course — your new hubby whispering “We actually did it!” while holding your hand under the table.

These are the moments you want to remember forever — not wondering where the florist is or why the cake is being delivered to the wrong venue.

That’s why we do what we do.
When you hire a planner, you get to feel every moment, not manage it.

Let us handle the logistics.
You just show up, live the magic, and soak it all in. ✨
