There is something so incredibly special and meaningful about a private estate wedding. For many, this estate is a cherished home, somewhere maybe you’ve grown up, or that you’ve visited on vacations through the years. As times have changed, this place has seen a multitude of versions of you and held sometimes generations of precious memories. So when the elegant tent arrives, the abundant florals load in, and the delectable scents of your caterer’s hour d’oeuvres catch the breeze, this already special place takes on a whole new role in your life as the setting for where your marriage began. I truly treasure the intimacy and how uniquely personally meaningful private estate weddings can be and am overjoyed to share this stunning September day with you.

Kendall and Zach’s late summer celebration was a collection of all their favorite things. From a bold and vibrant color palette to endless sushi, on demand latte art, and a BBQ and Bourbon pairing station, they wanted their day to bring together everything they loved with everyone they loved. With the help of Carrie Gold Events, they put aside traditional conventions and created a cocktail-themed party filled with music, dancing, and lounge spaces meant to encourage their guests to feel relaxed and mingle. To make this day even more special, the bride’s childhood home was utterly transformed with overflowing florals, a sleek bar, and warm tones meant to celebrate the transition from summer to fall. The couple was surprised arriving at their reception to find a truly insta-worthy tent entrance waiting for them with a nearly 10-foot tall square rose arch.

Every part of this day was filled with personal touches that celebrated the uniqueness of this couple. It was at once celebratory and modern while feeling exceptionally special with a uniquely relaxed atmosphere. So much care and attention had been put into every detail to make it the most perfect day for Kendall and Zach. They truly took every opportunity to express their personalities and make this a uniquely “them” celebration.
