“The ceremony b/c we have planned some subtle details and all went well. For example, at the same time the ceremony ends, i.e. when the officiant said “you may keep your bride”, the fountain right behind the ceremony site was turned on. Those subtle things make our wedding more memorable.” – Xiaoya + Sheng⁠

“If there is one thing I learned from planning my wedding, it’s to truly listen to your heart and not fall prey to trends you see other Brides doing. Nowadays, with Pinterest, Instagram, and TikTok, there are so many different enticing wedding themes and trends that planning a wedding can easily become overwhelming. As we were planning, we found ourselves trying to fit all of these things into our day. At the 6-month mark, I took a look at everything we had planned and realized… our wedding didn’t really feel like us anymore. My lovely In-Laws reminded my husband and me that this was our day and that we owed it to ourselves to honor who we really are. We spent the day unafraid to be authentically ourselves and that in and of itself makes our wedding forever timeless to us.” – Olivia + Payton⁠

“Hannah, my partial wedding planner, was by far the most helpful vendor of all! I had booked 75% of my vendors prior to hiring her and she truly made my vision come to life from a design standpoint and a coordination standpoint. She made the day flawless and her timeline was on point. I know there was a lot of work she did in the background that I will never be able to thank her enough for.”⁠ – Kara + Tyler⁠

“I think a lot of people romanticize wedding planning. But realistically, a lot of times it can feel like you’re just planning an event for 150+ people to enjoy vs. to celebrate you and your partner, which can be incredibly taxing mentally/physically/emotionally. It’s important to take time for yourself and breaks throughout the process. It’s also important to take time with your significant other.” – Claire + Trevor⁠

“Our favorite vendor was, without a doubt, our photographer and videographer, The Lockharts. Throughout the entire process, they were so incredible to work with. The Lockharts were so prompt, professional, and responsive and a great help in planning our timeline and ensuring the day flowed smoothly. Our photos and videos couldn’t have turned out better and we will cherish them forever.” – Lauren + Bill⁠

“Communication is crucial. It’s important to communicate with your future spouse about what matters most when you picture your wedding day. Once you have your vision, it’s important to communicate that vision with your vendors so that they can make your dream a reality.” – Veronica + Elliot ⁠
