a private estate wedding at her family home
Stephanie and Sam were married on the property where Stephanie grew up — a place woven into her childhood and, later, their engagement. Hosting their wedding at home made the entire weekend feel deeply rooted and personal.
Guests gathered beneath a clear-top tent that allowed the landscape to remain fully present, as if the outdoors had simply been invited in. The evening moved naturally from ceremony to celebration to a western-inspired after party in the lodge — a joyful close to a day that felt less like an event and more like an extension of their story.

“Sarah is an invaluable asset to every celebration. Her collaboration is seamless — she communicates clearly and proactively before and during the event. She works alongside the entire vendor team as both a support and a leader when needed, always respecting the timing and structure and putting the client’s experience first. She can read the room effortlessly, interact with warmth and awareness, and shows genuine sensitivity during high-emotion moments. Her work perfectly balances editorial sophistication with authentic storytelling.”
