360 photo booths are all the rage! I had so much fun watching the guests get into it (even the mom and dad of the bride!!)

Weddings are a fairy tale come true and Angela and Scott made every moment magical from singing from her tower in the morning to kissing in the rain at the end I could write and entire love story just from this one day. .bumstead

I am so excited to be working with Terrica at The Hilltop this weekend! The magic is about to happen!!

VENDOR SPOTLIGHT

You may know we have an open vendor policy at The Hilltop, but that doesn't mean we don't know some darn good people to help you on your special day!

Meet Kristi Stuart, What Matters Most Weddings & Events

Kristi has been working with family and friends to put together their perfect wedding day since 2017 and is excited to bring that passion to your wedding.

She is a licensed officiant, holds her food handlers license, and is constantly working on ways to make the wedding experience even more stress-free. No lipstick shall be smudged, no bridesmaid shall panic, no groomsman shall be too drunk (at least not before the reception), no attire shall be wrinkled, while Kristi is on the scene.

When she is not at an event, she loves working with her women's groups and middle school student ministry, reading, working on craft projects, & watching her two boys in their music performances.

We love Kristi for so many reasons, she was my first wedding vendor friend when we opened a year ago and she is amazing to work with. I can testify personally to her attention to detail and the fun, light heartedness she brings to your day.

If you are looking for a planner, or day of coordinator, Kristi knows her way around The Hilltop and is sure to exceed your expectations. (AND we hear she offers a discount to Hilltop couples!)

It has been a week since we got to collaborate with the best dang vendor team to transform into a Mediterranean villa. I have had this lush palette in my mind for over a year and it was just waiting for the right team to bring it to life. Words can’t express how grateful I am to all of the people listed below for making this vision come to full bloom. And then the added bonus of being able to bless a real couple with a new beginning was just beyond! Your creativity and generosity lives in my heart! 💙🤍💛🍋

Kansas City is better than this. Over a million people attended this celebration and just a few people with guns changed the whole story. We pray for the victims, their families and for the souls of those responsible.

Back in 2021 I had the privilege of helping Leia and Ryker join in marriage - last weekend I got to help them celebrate their daughter’s first birthday. Nothing makes me happier than watching my couples turn into families. Bring on the babies!
