Music was at the heart of Nikki and Jacque’s wedding day. Close friends took on DJ duties and even performed live during parts of the celebration, adding a personal and heartfelt touch.

The decor was a stunning blend of silk flower arrangements and centerpieces, complemented by delicate bud vases crafted by a local florist. Rentals, candles, and vases curated by our team tied everything together, creating an elegant and inviting atmosphere. It was a beautiful balance of sophistication and warmth—perfect for the historic venue.

Chef Jack’s, the exclusive caterer for the venue, truly outdid themselves. From martini glass salads that elevated the table settings to a dessert display that was both breathtaking and delicious, every detail was thoughtfully executed. After the ceremony, Chef Jack’s team worked seamlessly with us to flip the room for the reception, ensuring a smooth transition for dinner and dancing.
