What advice would you give future brides?

Throughout the planning process and in the lead-up to a wedding, there is so much stress and pressure (especially when it is a 500-person wedding!!), it makes it easy to get overwhelmed and bogged down in the details and the stressors. Throughout our lead-up, I kept the number one reason for our wedding in the forefront of my mind - getting to marry my best friend. This conscious decision made the entire process so much easier as we didn’t get caught up in the stress and remained so excited for our big day. It also helped us be present on the day and allowed us to really take in every moment!

If you were to choose one favorite supplier who would it be?

Honestly, all of our suppliers were absolutely incredible, but if it wasn’t for two women in particular, we never would have known where to start! Rochelle and Dulce, the powerhouses behind Styled by Coco, were the most amazing two wedding planners and creative event designers. We knew we wanted to transform the Crown Palladium into something it had never been before, and they truly went above and beyond anything we could have imagined and exceeded all expectations. Our room, from the built-in mezzanines to the speakeasy-style bar sections, was just a dream and never would have been possible without their brilliant minds and insane attention to detail and organization. Alongside this, each supplier that we had the opportunity to deal with through SBC, including Virginia from Ascha Jolie Florals and Bree from Rutherford Entertainment, just made us feel so confident and excited for our big day. A big shoutout to them too – some of our best feedback from the wedding was how amazing the flowers were, as well as the range of entertainment we had throughout the night!
