If I could bottle up Breana and Ryan’s positivity and absolute understanding and sell it to all couples affected in 2020, I would be richer than Bezos! They had more curveballs and obstacles thrown at them than ANY of the other weddings we worked to pivot or reschedule. In the end, their Glass House Wedding is one that others will try and copy!

Not to sound cliché, but I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. There was a reason for this change in style, venue and overall wedding feel, and at the end, it felt like this was meant to be the plan all along.

I am absolutely in love with the Glass House, and the family that runs it. Chris answered every question and request with not just an answer, but with a way we could execute it best. Every little detail on their property is curated for every part of your wedding from the groomsmen’s house, to the lush landscaped backdrop.

Breana’s dress, florals and accessories were a dream combination. It was as if she had seen the glass house and meticulously chose her details to play off of the window façade and Scandinavian backdrop.

Can I just say, I have never loved being with a group of vendors more. It was like we had worked dozens of weddings together already when it was our very first time meeting, and we were celebrating our friendship with our own private dinner party in the farmhouse. It felt like WE were the guests!

The way KEJ Productions captured the day deserves an Oscar. I will say it again for the people in the back, get yourself a videographer! I posted their video first because it MUST be seen to be believed. Elaine, I’m still sorry I followed the ducks and ruined your shot! I know you said I didn’t, but I still say it was the duck’s fault…

My new favorite thing about smaller weddings will be the part food can play. Porch Light Gatherings dinner was like a private dining experience served by a Michelin Starred squad, and I’m still thinking about their fruit tartes.

The night ended with Ryan surprising Breana with a video being projected of all their original guest list saying “cheers” to the new couple. They were able to hear the amazing words and see the faces of each of their friends and hear the wishes for their marriage, which would not have been possible even with their original plan.

I believe Ryan and Breana feel the same way when I say, this was absolutely one of my best days ever, and I would absolutely choose to pivot all over again!
