Makenzie & Trent’s beautiful day 🤍

IT’S OUR 1ST BIRTHDAY! 🎈

One year ago I officially launched Ten Fifteen Events and it’s been a fun journey since.

I’ve learned a lot as a business owner, tried new things, pushed the boundaries of my comfort zone and been a part of some really beautiful wedding days.

Thank you to all of my couples for being so incredible and inviting me to be a part of your day. To the sweet vendors who have welcomed me in with open arms, referred me, given advice, and become such great friends. To my coordinators who help with all of the day-of things to make wedding days smooth. To my friends and family for supporting me always. And to my husband for being my behind the scenes “build it, fix it, load it, pack it” guy, sounding board and biggest cheerleader. I couldn’t do any of this without all of you. So thank you 🤍

I’m eternally grateful and can’t wait to see what another year from now looks like. Cheers and happy birthday, Ten Fifteen 🥂✨

Simple black & white elegance but not a detail missed 🤍

Still swooning over Brooke and Max’s beautiful day. Brooke knew she wanted simple and understated but simple certainly doesn’t have to be boring. From the seating chart to the place cards to the florals to the tablescapes, every choice was so intentional and beautiful.

Brooke + Max 🤍

This crew brought the party and kept it going all night. To know Brooke and Max is to love them and you can tell how loved they are when you’re in a room with their friends and family. You just can’t help but want to have a good time in their presence.

Cheers to the Evans! May you keep the party going for years to come 🥂✨

Brooke and Max’s big day was windier than ever but they embraced it, Brooke rocked the wind-blown hair look like a champ, and they didn’t let it bother them a bit. All the gorgeous photos for proof 🤍

I was talking to another vendor friend this weekend and we were talking about the *value* that wedding planners bring to your big day. Outside of the obvious reasons for booking a wedding planner (timeline, hiccups, etc) do you know the value of what you’re booking?

The value of a planner really comes in their connections, partnerships, the reassurance and peace of mind they’re bringing to the table. They’ll usually save you anywhere from 10-25% of your total wedding costs. Almost a quarter of your budget! They’ll review and negotiate contracts before you sign on any dotted lines. They’ll help solve any issues or snags you run into. And they’ll make sure your day goes off the way you intended.

Having troubles expressing your vision to your florist? We got you.
Caterer insisting that you have paper plates over porcelain dinner plates? We’ll handle it.
Venue sent you a lengthy, complicated contract? We’ll walk you through it and make sure we can agree to all the terms.

Yeah, sure, you’re getting a full timeline and someone to point your vendors to on the day-of. But you’re also getting a lot more than that when you book a wedding planner.

Don’t love the idea of doing a garter removal in front of your entire guest list and family? We don’t blame you.

Every once in a while, we’ll see a rowdy crowd that’s all for it and if that’s your thing, we’ll cheer you on from the sidelines! But for most brides, they’d rather not have their new husband crawling up their dress to pull a tiny piece of lace down their leg with their teeth on the dance floor.

When we were discussing what things were going to happen during S & J’s reception, I asked the dreaded question. “Are you doing a garter toss?” To which both of them kind of cringed and said, “No, I don’t think so.” I could tell that she was a little hesitant about her answer and thought maybe part of her wanted to carry out that tradition in some way. So I offered up my favorite alternative. I said, “Well if you still want to do it, have you thought about doing a private garter removal?” They both asked what that was and as soon as I explained, they were both all for it.

A private garter removal is such a fun way to carry out the garter removal tradition without doing it in front of everyone. It allows you and your new spouse to sneak off together for a few minutes, get some intimate alone time and some steamy pictures to keep for just the two of you (or to show your kids how hot you are one day, we don’t judge). So when you’re planning out your reception, leave some time in there to sneak away with just your photographer and I promise you won’t regret it.

Jim’s a big golfer so when they decided to get married on a golf course, they didn’t hold back. Jim & Sadee said “I do” on a championship PGA golf course. The same one where the John Deere Classic is held.

We were just slightly bummed wasn’t in attendance 😉 But it was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple.
