Last year, Natalie and Cameron said “I do” at Artifact Events, and what a magical day it was! From the breathtaking flowers by Petal Pushr to the beautifully designed invitation suite that set the tone for their unforgettable celebration. 💍✨ A special shoutout to the team at Jordan’s Food of Distinction for the last-minute ceremony move involving hand-carrying 200 chairs up and down a flight of stairs!

We are thrilled to celebrate their journey together and the love they continue to share. Let’s take a moment to reminisce about that incredible day and all the beautiful memories they’ve created since. Here’s to many more years of love, laughter, and happiness! 🥂

I truly believe that every gift is from God. The Bible says that we all have different talents and God-given gifts, but they are all important and can be used for God’s kingdom.

I pray everyday that I not only bring joy to beautiful couples stepping into a new chapter of their lives together, I pray that I please God in everything that I do moving forward.

God graced me with many gifts, but education and horticulture have been my pride and joy for the last 9 years!

I’m so grateful for all the brides who trusted me with their big day! Thank you for allowing me to tell your love story through floral expression.

Full swing in the middle of Holiday Party Season and we have this lovely Yakitori Station designed by Chef Jordan and the incomparable !

Amazing flavors of Yakitori include Miso Grilled Chicken, Honey Soy Glazed Salmon, Sweet Sake Grilled Pork, and Black Sesame Beef.

We pair these lovely skewers with Steamed Japanese Dumplings and finish off the station with a trio of delicious sauces, such as Ponzu, Miso Sesame Cream and Sweet Chile.

The entire station is beautiful, colorful, and filled with amazing flavors! It’s no wonder this is one of our favorites!

Miniature Grilled Shrimp Baja Tacos!

These are definitely one of our “Fan Favorites” to be sure! And with good reason - they are DELISH!

Made in cute little corn taco shells they are filled with flavor-packed grilled shrimp, avocado cream, cabbage slaw, cilantro and salsa verde. They are finished with a squeeze of fresh lime.

Pair these with a margarita from and you have yourself a party!

I can’t say enough great things about this this business! Jordan’s beautifully catered my wedding. From the awesome tasting beforehand that they arranged that ended up being an unforgettable, romantic and delicious date night to our wedding day where their team and service were absolutely top tier! My guest could not stop talking about the food long after the wedding. I highly recommend! We were so impressed by the food but the warmth and great energy from everyone I met there is why we keep coming back.
