The sanctuary was thoughtfully adorned with lush greenery and delicate florals, perfectly complementing the timeless beauty of the church’s original architecture. As sunlight streamed through the large glass windows, the ceremony felt both sacred and serene. For loved ones who couldn’t fit inside the church, an open-air tent just outside provided overflow seating and a livestream of the ceremony, ensuring that no one missed a moment of the celebration.

Following the ceremony, guests gathered under the same open-air tent for a joyful, high-energy reception held on the church grounds. The setting was effortlessly romantic and welcoming. It was truly a celebration that felt like home.

To beat the heat and keep the energy flowing, the newlyweds provided a fun and refreshing selection of Alani energy drinks for their guests. It was such a thoughtful touch that perfectly reflected the couple’s fun-loving personalities and desire to keep the party going strong.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Daniel Houze took the stage and truly brought the celebration to life.

From the heartfelt ceremony to the lively reception, every detail came together to create an unforgettable day.
