Happy FIRST anniversary to Becca + Jake 🌺 I cannot wait to be back in Hawaii next year for your big celebration!! Can more couples please plan small intimate destination weddings followed by big anniversary parties like you two!?

I’ve started quoting Becca + Jake to other clients because ā€œgetting married while on a family vacationā€ is the best thing I’ve ever heard! They had a small elopement style destination wedding on Oahu with just their immediate families while enjoying a week of fun together in the island. This creates the most meaningful and stress free way to get married in front of the people who mean the most and in the most relaxed setting. And saving the bigger celebration for your anniversary gives you more time to plan for all the fun details for the best party you’ll throw as newlyweds!

The one month countdown begins until we’re in Wales for this incredible couple’s big day!

Clients and friends - we are very frustrated to report that our instagram account has unfortunately been locked by Meta so we have not appeared publicly since April 16th. They ā€œdetected unusual activityā€ I believe after I traveled to South America last month (Jen Bergmark, owner since 2011) but the link they sent to verify my identity is broken and even though we’ve had a verified account for years through Meta for Business we cannot seem to get Instagram to reconnect our handle!!

Me and my team Ashley Brantner + Tamara Ogden are loosing leads and credibility by not being visible and I’m truly just devastated that our portfolio of work with all our incredible couples we’ve worked with are now not even appearing to the world to see.

If anyone has a friend who works within the Instagram / Meta organization, we’d really appreciate help closing this loop and regaining our public profile with all the work we’re entitled to share from our 15 years in the wedding and event planning business. We appreciate those who have already tried to help us and apologize for the inconvenience if you’ve tried to reach us via DM on Instagram, please keep in touch with us via phone/text/email or through our website.

Thank you for still considering us for your upcoming events, we’re a small business and this feels unfair to current and future clients trying to work with us but until we get back that creative platform, we’ll be posting more here!
