Breathtaking events are born of creative passion & meticulous planning, and when it comes to planning + designing an event, all aspects are important to us.

t a planning experience that fit your celebration best. Throughout our years of experience, we’ve constructed an efficient process-based method to enable us to design timeless and beautiful events, regardless of style or size. To schedule an initial consultation with our team to discuss your event, please contact our office.

In case you missed it, we were on Over the Moon on Friday, showcasing the most fun editorial at the Duke Mansion! To see more of the bold design and garden goodness, head on over to Over the Moon✨
As micro-weddings pop up across the world, and people postpone their larger celebrations, we've had our eye out for inspiration for the former and stumbled across this gorgeous shoot at The Duke Mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina.
These two sweethearts didn't let a global pandemic get in the way of their love! They celebrated with their immediate families in the bride's childhood backyard🤍
