Every couple brings a different problem to solve: a guest list that doubled, a venue with no kitchen, a forecast nobody wanted to read. Here is how four of last season's weddings came together, told with the couples' blessing.
A garden ceremony for 160 guests at a family property with no permanent restrooms or kitchen. We brought in a catering tent, a generator with a silent canopy and a restroom trailer, then hid all three behind a hedge of potted magnolias.
Planned almost entirely by video from Chicago. Long tables down the length of the mill, a jazz trio for dinner and an oyster roast on the lawn while the room was turned for dancing.
Twelve guests, a ranger permit and a picnic lunch carried up in coolers. Our smallest wedding of the year and one of the most detailed timelines, because sunset on a ridge does not wait.
An August evening with a heat index near forty. We moved the ceremony to seven, froze the hand towels, swapped roses for hydrangeas that cope with the heat and kept the dance floor under fans.
We take a handful of couples each month. Ask early if you have a popular spring date in mind.
