Modern Tropical Meets Elevated Elegance

To set the tone for the ceremony, we introduced large LED pillar candles lining the aisle and altar — adding romantic glow and dimension to the outdoor setting. The altar was styled with lush tropical arrangements, including white orchid plants and large palms, which brought softness and grandeur to the venue’s existing wooden chuppah. A custom circular chandelier suspended above the altar created a dramatic focal point that enhanced the luxurious feel of the space.

The floral palette was intentionally kept crisp and textural, playing with various shades of green, creamy ivory, and soft white blooms to maintain the clean, tropical-modern balance the couple envisioned. Every design element — from linen selection to menus, signage, and paper goods — was custom-designed by our team to reflect Christian and Cheyenne’s unique tastes and cultural heritage.

A Reception Drenched in Style and Meaning

The reception design paid homage to both Caribbean warmth and city sophistication. The head table was a true showstopper, featuring a dramatic row of 4-foot-tall tropical arrangements in sleek gold vessels, grounded by low, lush floral compositions in soft ivory tones.

To maintain visual interest throughout the room, guest tables alternated between towering tropical centerpieces — echoing the lush palms used in the ceremony — and sculptural candle groupings that added intimacy and glow. The resulting effect was modern, luxurious, and deeply atmospheric.

Every visual moment was curated with care and intention — from the floral arrangements to the tablescapes — ensuring that the couple and their guests were immersed in an environment that felt both elevated and deeply personal.

A Celebration We’ll Never Forget

To say we were proud of this wedding would be an understatement. It was an honor to bring such a layered and meaningful vision to life, and to witness the love between two people so full of joy, style, and grace.

Charming Activations with a Personal Twist

One of the most memorable moments of the evening was the couple’s creative seating display. Guests were greeted by pink Himalayan salt shot glasses filled with margaritas — a playful nod to celebration and a clever icebreaker that instantly set the tone. Each shot glass was custom-decorated by our talented friend at Ava Paper Co., featuring the guest’s name in hand-lettered calligraphy on the front and their table number on the back. These personalized details doubled as keepsakes, turning a fun party favor into a lasting memory.

When the Rain Came — and Magic Followed

No wedding is complete without a story, and this one came in the form of torrential Miami rain. Despite every effort to secure a tent for our outdoor backup plan, the venue’s restrictions meant that option wasn’t possible. But what happened next was something even a planner couldn’t script — the love and positivity from Stephanie and Daniel, their families, and their guests never wavered.

The rain didn’t dampen their spirits — it amplified them. Everyone came together, kept the energy high, and welcomed the weather as part of their story. When the skies finally cleared, what followed was one of the most epic celebrations our team has ever witnessed.

As a planner, I’ve seen a lot — but this was the first time I cried like a baby. Their joy, their resilience, and their unwavering happiness moved me to tears, and I will carry the memory of that night with me always.

A Night to Remember

Stephanie and Daniel’s wedding was more than a beautiful event. It was a testament to the power of love, the strength of community, and the beauty that happens when we embrace the unexpected with grace and joy.

From the terracotta tones to the tequila-infused welcome, from rainstorms to roaring dance floors, this night was unforgettable — not just for the couple, but for everyone lucky enough to be a part of it.

From the moment they stepped inside, guests were enveloped in a setting that was thoughtfully curated and undeniably enchanting. Each level of the venue was adorned with LED pillar candles, lush tropical greenery, and stunning floral centerpieces that elevated the already breathtaking interiors. The design captured the ambiance of a refined French Quarter celebration — layered with warmth, character, and intimacy.

Signature Details and a Southern Spirit

The event was designed to feel as welcoming as it was grand. Custom-crafted welcome drinks were offered to guests in cozy lounge areas surrounded by palm trees and soft candlelight, inviting everyone to relax, sip, and savor the experience as they explored the venue’s architectural marvels across all three stories.

At the heart of the celebration was the couple’s unwavering focus on creating unforgettable moments — and their vendor team delivered at every turn. Bill Hansen Catering provided a seamless culinary journey throughout the night, serving beautifully executed dishes that delighted guests and honored the couple’s refined taste. (This might have been our favorite part, if we had to choose!)

Music That Moved the Night

To truly bring the spirit of New Orleans to life, Amanda and Thomas brought in their favorite local band</strong to lead the evening’s entertainment. Derek Mac’s Band filled the room with energy, joy, and irresistible rhythm, keeping guests on their feet from the first note to the final encore. The music not only entertained, it set the tone — playful, polished, and full of heart.

Refined Celebration, Unforgettable Atmosphere

This wedding was a beautiful blend of tradition and personality — from the classic architecture of The Cruz Building to the modern details that reflected Amanda and Thomas’s story. Every space, every song, and every dish told a part of their journey, shared with the people they love most.

It was an honor to design such a layered, love-filled experience in a venue as rich with character as The Cruz Building. Amanda and Thomas’s wedding will remain one of those special events we hold close — a celebration of love, legacy, and the joy of shared moments.

A Ceremony with a View

The wedding ceremony took place in the Cadillac Suite, with its private terrace offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. As waves crashed in the distance, Adam and Cassandra exchanged vows surrounded by their closest loved ones, creating an unforgettable moment steeped in beauty and emotion.

Old-World Charm Meets Miami Modern

After the ceremony, guests were welcomed to the Riviera Terrace and Room for a dinner and reception that blended Italian charm with Miami sophistication. The tables were dressed in classic linens, romantic floral arrangements, and soft lighting that evoked the feeling of dining under the stars in Tuscany.

The cuisine was a true highlight of the evening. Donna Mare Italian Chophouse, the Cadillac Hotel’s on-site restaurant, served a menu of authentic Italian dishes that paid homage to the couple’s roots. From handmade pastas to perfectly grilled meats, every bite was a celebration of tradition and flavor.

Planning with Heart After the Pandemic

Like many couples navigating the aftermath of pandemic-era planning, Adam and Cassandra had faced more than their share of obstacles before finding our team. Our top priority was to relieve their stress and create a positive, joy-filled planning experience — one that helped them leave the frustration behind and focus on the celebration ahead.

We curated every detail of their wedding with care and intention, transforming their vision into a seamless and love-filled weekend. From guest experience to design elements, every piece was tailored to reflect their personalities and honor the journey they took to get to this moment.

Designing with Heart and Heritage

One of the most personal touches came in the form of vibrant bougainvillea florals, incorporated at the request of Breanne in honor of her grandmother. Knowing how deeply the gesture would touch her, we wove the florals throughout the ceremony and reception design to ensure her spirit was felt and celebrated.

Tablescapes are a creative highlight in any celebration, and this wedding was no exception. Breanne and CJ encouraged our team to embrace bold color, layered textures, and artistic styling — and the result was nothing short of extraordinary. Every table told a story, blending modern design with warmth, soul, and expressive energy.

Stationery That Spoke Volumes

Every piece of stationery and signage was custom-designed and full of meaning. From the invitation suite to the reception signage, the designs were infused with cultural symbolism and intentional storytelling. Each table was named after a prominent figure in African American or Caribbean history, complete with a brief excerpt about their contributions to the arts, activism, and cultural heritage.

This thoughtful detail sparked conversations throughout the evening, drawing guests deeper into the couple’s story and values. It was design with depth — the kind that lingers long after the last dance.

Flavors of Love: Soul Food Meets Jamaican Tradition

We partnered with our friends at Style Catering to bring the celebration full circle with a culinary experience that paid homage to both sides of the couple’s heritage. The menu featured a fusion of traditional Jamaican dishes and classic American Soul Food, creating a delicious and heartfelt tribute to their families and backgrounds.

It wasn’t just a meal — it was a cultural love affair expressed through flavor, and a highlight for every guest in attendance.

A Wedding That Moved Us
