Moment Alone & Details
Michaela shared that Bridgerton, one of her favorite TV series, was the clear choice for the wedding’s theme. The pastel colors, eccentric decadence, and Georgian-style architecture captivated her from the start. The decor team embraced this vision wholeheartedly, bringing the couple’s dream to life.

Reception
The reception was truly unforgettable, starting with the newlyweds’ grand entrance that set the tone for the evening. As they walked in, everyone stood up, waving napkins in the air, signaling the excitement for the night ahead. Michaela, a former dancer, had a special surprise planned for her husband—a Beyoncé choreography she had dreamed of performing at her wedding since she was 18. The performance was a highlight of the night, leaving everyone, especially her husband, thrilled.
The couple also placed great importance on delivering an exceptional cocktail experience and hiring the best professionals. A lavish candy bar was filled with exquisite pastries and desserts that delighted their guests, along with a menu showcasing the finest Italian cuisine. To entertain their guests, they provided a photo booth and a 360-degree video platform, adding to the fun and excitement of the evening. The music was another crucial element, and they were fortunate to secure the top band and DJ in the country, who kept the party going non-stop until 4 a.m. It was truly a night to remember, filled with joy, dancing, and unforgettable moments.
Advice from the couple:
• Enjoy the night to the fullest. It’s your night, and you plan it exactly the way you want. Don’t try to impress anyone but yourself. Don’t forget that you are the mood-setters of the night; feel free, feel happy, and be energetic. This will encourage everyone to join you and spend the night to the maximum.
