The "wow factor" of your wedding/reception that everyone talked about:
Martha Whitney’s floral design was incredible. The flowers really stole the show!

The most unique detail of your wedding/reception: We asked our yoga teacher and dear friend to officiate the ceremony. She really made the ceremony very personal and intimate.

Rentals: Arcade Theatre

Honeymoon location: Mediterranean cruise to Spain, France, and Italy

Bride's favorite part of the entire event: At one point, everyone on the dance floor sang along to "Don’t Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith. It wasn’t planned at all. It was so joyful to look up and see all of our friends and family singing and swaying together.

Groom's favorite part of the entire event: Having all of our friends and family in town.
