Emma and Brennan’s December wedding was filled with warmth, romance, and thoughtful details that made the day feel incredibly special. The couple shared that they spent time and care focusing on the intricate elements of their celebration, all with the goal of creating the best possible experience for their guests. The celebration took place at Glen Oaks Country Club, which served as the venue while also providing seamless catering and bartending, perfectly complementing the cozy winter atmosphere. One of the most touching moments of the day was the father-daughter dance, brought to life with a nostalgic photo display and music by Marquee Events DJs, creating a moment that resonated with everyone in the room. A winter celebration full of heart, intention, and all the December feels. Cheers to Emma and Brennan!
