We’re beyond honored to share that we’ve been awarded the 2025 Best Overall Private Event by !

Confession: we didn’t even realize we’d been nominated until yesterday. The past couple of months have been such a whirlwind that the announcement completely passed us by, making this recognition all the more meaningful.

Thank you for this incredible honor. We’re beyond grateful… it truly means the world to us.

We get to work with the most amazing humans… and these two? Total proof we have the best job ever. From daily texts (yes, we have a group chat we can’t quit) to marathon planning calls and in-person strategy sessions, we’re already having withdrawals. But don’t worry - they’re stuck with us now. Officially adopted into our fam. ✊🏻🤍

From the very beginning, this celebration was something special. Our clients and their families hold a place deep in our hearts, and the year-and-a-half journey we shared with them made this experience all the more meaningful. It wasn’t just about creating an event. It was about telling their story in a way that felt personal, intentional, and deeply connected to who they are.

Inspired by bodies of water - those that shaped their pasts and surround their present - this wedding was a fluid, immersive tribute to memory, movement, and connection.

From hues of green and ocean views to lotus bars and sea-inspired elegance, guests began their journey at the .

Friends and family were greeted with an ocean front champagne cocktail bar, a solo guitarist, and a winding lily pad aisle. After a serene, water-lily-adorned ceremony with hanging florals that swayed with the breeze and multi-hued, vine-like seating, the celebration flowed into an aqua and sage colored cocktail hour with sushi, a margarita bar, and copper-kissed lounges.

Dinner unfolded in an immersive, aquatic inspired room with surrealist, plant-filled tables, seashell backed chairs, and a shimmering ocean dance floor that seemed to ripple beneath the lights.

When the night called for more, silver walls, lasers, smokey cocktails, and a DJ set by the couple’s friends, , turned the afterparty into bioluminescent inspired magic.

Still floating from this past weekend’s wedding - an unforgettable celebration of love, resilience, and the power of community. ✨

Just two months ago, an unexpected hit-and-run involving Kristin and Laura left Kristin down, and we weren’t sure how the next two months would unfold. But thanks to our incredible clients, the strength and heart of our team, the unwavering commitment of our vendor partners, and the outpouring of love from our community, we pulled off something truly extraordinary.

To everyone who helped us through - your patience, dedication, and support carried us more than you know. We’re endlessly grateful.

This weekend was a powerful reminder that even in the most challenging moments, beauty can still rise and that we never do this alone. 💛

Here’s a peek into the Welcome Party… more coming soon!

A huge thank you to for naming us Editor’s Pick for Best Event Design at the 2025 Best Of Awards. 💫

This Zelda-inspired garden wedding led guests on a fantastical journey through Vibiana and Redbird featuring a hedge maze entrance with pan flute serenades and champagne at the center, a winding whimsical garden ceremony path lined with linen ottomans and lush greenery, an open-air reception in Redbird under cascading greenery and candlelight, and a chill afterparty overlooking the city. 🌿🌷💍🌱🗡️
