Austin and April’s wedding was the perfect blend of thoughtful planning, heartfelt moments, and flavors their guests will never forget. Every detail reflected intention, personality, and love—making the celebration feel not just beautiful, but truly theirs.

One of the most memorable parts of the day was the ceremony itself, which had a uniquely meaningful feel. Austin and April looked for ways to make the moment personal and authentic, and one of their favorite touches was including their beloved dog in the wedding activities. Their furry family member brought joy, a few laughs, and plenty of extra love to the aisle, creating a ceremony that felt warm, inviting, and completely unique to them.

After a heartfelt exchange of vows, guests were treated to a reception that became a culinary experience in its own right. The Happy Hour Chefs Catering crafted a menu that was not only beautifully presented but delicious from the very first bite. Their dishes were full of flavor and creativity, turning dinner into a highlight of the night. And the cake—also by The Happy Hour Chefs—was no exception. Elegant, decadent, and perfectly executed, it was the sweet finale to an unforgettable meal.

Bringing the vision to life with intention and style, Vanessa with OHA Weddings & Events handled planning and design with extraordinary care. The thoughtful approach ensured that every moment felt seamless and every detail supported the emotional and aesthetic tone of the wedding.

Finishing touches from Party U Rentals helped set the scene for a reception space that was both inviting and beautifully styled—perfect for a night filled with celebration, connection, and plenty of great food.
