We’ve thoughtfully crafted our wedding packages with couples and families in mind. Every package includes coordination and day-of support, because we believe great service should never be optional. With experience in weddings and events, we offer a level of care and guidance that helps your day feel seamless, relaxed, and truly enjoyable.

“I Do & Dessert” Wedding Package

Our I Do & Dessert package is designed for couples planning an intimate wedding with 30 guests or fewer who want all the meaningful moments of a traditional wedding in a relaxed, elegant setting.

This package features a cake-and-punch–style reception rather than a seated dinner, keeping the celebration light, flexible, and focused on connection — while still allowing plenty of time for photos and time together. From same-day venue access and ceremony setup to planning support, décor, and day-of coordination, this package includes more than most couples expect.

You’ll enjoy a beautifully styled indoor ceremony and reception space without lifting a finger — our team handles all setup before you arrive. Thoughtful details and personal touches are included to make the day feel polished and intentional, so you can simply show up, soak it all in, and focus on getting married while we take care of the rest.

The Curated Wedding

The Curated Package is for couples who want a beautifully planned wedding without having to make every decision themselves.
