There are so many things that can take a wedding to the next level. In the case of Marlon and Ayana, their rooftop venue, Ventanas, was the first step. Then they added a dramatic attire change.

Yes, you should feed them. Many of your vendors are with you for an extended period of time on your wedding day…specifically, […]

We’ve worked with couples whose guest lists have been bursting at the seams because they wanted to invite so many people. Sometimes, couples decide not to allow a guest to bring a date so that they can invite more people. This is a big no-no. It’s no fun being at a wedding without a date […]
