Whitley and Andrew’s wedding day felt like stepping into a timeless garden dream, surrounded by the kind of details that make a celebration unforgettable. Their entire vision came to life under a beautifully structured tent provided by Milestone Event Rental, whose tenting and chairs set the stage for the perfect outdoor celebration. The florals and planning by Honey & Joy Events were nothing short of breathtaking. The intentional design choices made every moment come together seamlessly, from the beautiful ceremony space to the stunning reception tablescapes. And of course, the food was just as memorable. Barrata’s crafted a catering experience that kept guests coming back for more!

Capturing it all was Rebecca Lillian Photography, whose eye for storytelling turned their day into a gallery of heartfelt, timeless images. She perfectly captured this unforgettable day. A truly stunning day for the Heaths!

“A few of our favorite parts of the day included our first look and sharing our personal vows on the balcony that overlooked where the ceremony was being held. My dad grew up in England, so it felt really special to have an English manor style location. It was the best day spending it with our closest family and friends as we entered this beautiful union!”
