Okay, so I’ve planned a few events in 20 years—but this one? This one felt different in the best way.
From the second you walked in, it was like… wait. Just candlelight! EveryWHERE. No flowers, no over-the-top installs—just clusters of pillar candles in different heights, glowing and doing exactly what they needed to do. It was giving romantic. It was giving intentional.
I was obsessed with the smallest things.
The space itself had that raw, rustic feel—cement, beams, bricks, a little edge—but then softened with low lighting and those beautiful chandeliers that just pulled everything together. It didn’t try too hard and that’s what made it so good. People were mingling, drinks were flowing and the whole night felt super chill but still really special.
Now me? I was working, not drinking (despite the groom’s best friends trying real hard to change that 😂), but what I did commit to was the food. The chicken—specifically from Beasley's Chicken + Honey—was my food moment. Just… so good. Between that, the chicken and waffles, the hand pies, the dips—everything felt fun, easy, and made for people to actually enjoy and not just adorn the tables.
No formal toasts, just a natural feel flowing night. Nothing forced, nothing overly structured. Just people showing up, loving on the couple, and being present.
As the planner, I’ll say this: you can design something beautiful all day long, but what really makes an event land is the feeling. And this one felt warm, intentional, and full of love in a really grounded way. It made me excited—not just about the event, but for them. And my genuine prayer for them? That this next season is full of the real stuff—date nights that don’t get skipped, accountability that keeps them growing and a kind of love where they carry each other in spirit when one feels weak.
That’s the good kind.
Here’s to a lifetime of happiness, adventure and unwavering support.
Congratulations on this beautiful new chapter, Christian & Kristin. You are so loved.
~Sincerely Yours
