Sara and Narek’s wedding was nothing short of extraordinary, a romantic celebration framed by timeless architecture and breathtaking design by Narine Events, Inc.

The Grand Ballroom was transformed into a lush floral haven with towering arbors dressed in vibrant blooms, delicate greenery, and whimsical hummingbirds suspended mid-air. Floor-to-ceiling draping by The Linen Shoppe elevated the space with a soft, sophisticated touch.

Congratulations again to this sweet couple! Thank you for letting us be part of your forever. 💍🤍
