Therese + Tony | Private Estate

We are in love with Therese + Tony’s romantic private estate wedding. You couldn’t find a more unique and interesting couple. Therese technically titled “Lady Therese”, crowned in Ireland and hailing from the St Thomas family, heirs to the Guinness Empire, and groom, a decorated USN pilot, these two had impeccable taste. Their affair was one with intimate purpose, only 11 guests joined at a Private Estate setting where the two held a Celtic Knot ceremony, lawn cocktails, and a 4 course meal fit for a king. Our team created a sophisticated design that paid tribute to Therese’s Irish heritage while keeping certain elements relaxed so that Tony’s family would feel right at home. Therese will later hold another ceremony in Ireland among her family members. Although small in guest count, the night sacrificed nothing in accommodations. From curated cocktails to sweet tooth delicacies, their guests were surprised with goodies around every corner. Cheers,

Regan + Joe | White Sparrow Barn

Who would ever imagine we would get 35 degree weather in April?! Well that’s exactly what we all woke up to on Regan & Joe’s White Sparrow wedding day. But it didn’t stress Regan in the least because she was ready to be Joe’s wife, no matter the situation. The two met in 3rd grade and grew up to be each other’s best friend and eventually dated, leaving the rest as history. With a quick weather plan B, our team set a circular ceremony in the balcony. I have to say I think it ended up lovelier than our lawn plan. 🙂 After the ceremony, guests made their way downstairs for pop cocktails and yummy passed bites while the upstairs was transformed into dining! And check out that ceremony altar transformation in bar statement. BRILLIANT!! There was a lot of thinking on our toes but HEY, that’s what it takes and Regan + Joe enjoyed a perfect day!! We can’t control the weather but we can control the plan!

They chose the White Sparrow Barn for their venue and our team was put to work to curate an incredible team and design. Their families are very close, so we chose a design that brought that to the forefront. With approachable settings, a family style passed meal and little nods to their traditions like “Nini’s Homemade Vanilla Icecream” being served to guests, the two really brought a sense of home to the barn.

We just adore these two! Thank you for letting us take part in your most amazing day!! Cheers,
