When Colleen and James approached us with their vision, they sought to transform the charming backyard of their private estate into an elegant, luxury celebration. Their goal was to create a refined wedding where guests felt instantly embraced by the atmosphere and immersed in the festivities from the moment they arrived. With a desire to blend personal style with the natural beauty of the estate, they aimed for an experience that was memorable for all their guests. Our mission was to bring their dream to life, ensuring their wedding would be a seamless reflection of their love story and a high-end occasion for all.

Colleen and James envisioned a wedding that began with the grace and solemnity of a traditional Catholic Mass, setting the stage for a deeply meaningful and spiritual start to their celebration. Following this sacred ceremony, they wanted to offer their guests a seamless transition to a stunning reception, where the ambiance would shift from the reverence of the church to the vibrant, celebratory atmosphere of the estate. Their desire was to create a fluid experience that carried their guests from one memorable moment to the next, blending timeless tradition with the preppy charm of their outdoor celebration.

The traditional Catholic ceremony, led by a family priest, perfectly set the tone for Colleen and James’s family-oriented celebration. Their shared values of tradition and closeness were woven into every detail, starting with this intimate service. The warmth of having a family friend officiate enhanced the sense of connection, ensuring that memorable feel right from the start. It was the perfect way to begin their day of creating lifelong memories that would resonate with family for years to come.

Every detail, from valet services to portable restrooms, was meticulously arranged to ensure guests' comfort.

The reception’s ambiance exquisitely mirrored Colleen and James’s modern yet timeless style through a meticulously curated design. We began with a stunning floral arch that greeted guests as they arrived at the venue, that helped to immerse guests into the wedding right from the start. The pathway leading into the tent was beautifully illuminated by candles, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Inside the tent, the space was draped with refined linens and enhanced with the soft glow of chandeliers and rope lights, adding a touch of sophistication. Each table was adorned with lush floral arrangements and candles, seamlessly blending with the cream, pink and blues of the tablescapes. Every detail, from the intricate floral designs to the ambient lighting, was thoughtfully chosen to enhance the reception’s modern sophistication while preserving a timeless elegance.
