A Modern, Picturesque Wedding at the Stunning St. James

Planning a wedding is most definitely a journey of transforming dreams into a tangible reality, and working with Lindsay and Tyler was nothing short of a dream for us. Their vision for a classic and elegant day unfolded seamlessly, and our team, led by the fearless Amber, was thrilled to bring it to life!

Lindsay and Tyler’s day exuded charm, elegance, and a touch of playful fun. From her timeless bridal gown to his dashing black tuxedo, every detail was meticulously chosen to create an atmosphere of sophistication and celebration. The distinguished St. James, their chosen venue, was transformed into a breathtaking canvas of white florals and accents in black, white and blue, perfectly complementing Lindsay’s vision.

One of the highlights of the day was their exchange of vows, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The ceremony concluded with a romantic rose petal exit orchestrated by their wedding party, creating a picture-perfect moment that will be etched in all of our memories for many years to come!

Lindsay and Tyler transitioned their guests to a celebratory cocktail hour with a playful champagne tower and statement cake, setting the tone for an evening filled with joy and playful sophistication. The candlelit dinner that followed was a beautiful, intimate affair, and the venue positively glowed with candlelight – one of our favorite features of the venue! The statement checkered dance floor served as the backdrop for an evening of laughter, joy, and straight up FUN! Following dinner, they spent the rest of the night positively tearing up the dance floor.

It was a pleasure for us to execute such a marvelous day and witness the genuine affection between Lindsay and Tyler throughout the entire weekend – their celebration was a heartwarming experience for all involved.

Cheers to you two, and thank you for including us in your beautiful day!
