A quintessential garden wedding
"Our perfect day was only made possible
because of Tasnah’s work!"

In the shade of a tall oak, this September ceremony was held at the foot of a beautiful stone farmhouse.
Rustic met elegance - cocktails were served in an old greenhouse, lawn games covered the surrounding meadow, and Australian inspired flowers and hand lettered place cards adorned lace runners.
"I had chosen the venue and found all my vendors so all the big decisions had been made, yet I knew I would need someone to help me bring all the elements together on the day to create a well-executed, stress-free event..." read more
Love from the ashes.
"[our] entire day was spent reveling
in the overwhelming love of our friends and family
– completely free to enjoy every moment."
From the get go I knew planning this wedding would be an adventure... and I was all in.
"We want our wedding to be at the top of a mountain,
on a friend's ranch that was burnt to the ground in the California fires two years ago.
...Oh, and we still have to re-build the barn we're going to dance in." - N+T
Never have I seen a couple work harder to make their dream of a wedding come true. From clearing and leveling their ceremony site of charred trees, to putting up the beams of their friends new barn, Tesia and Nicol's wedding reflected their heart and free-spirited character through and through. Guests were shuttled to a mountain top ceremony site via Tesla or hay-bale-lined pickup truck. Sitting on handmade benches, family and friends heard a comical and moving rendition of the couple's journey and "officiated" their marriage with a rousing communal "we now pronounce you man and wife...you may kiss the bride." The bride and bridesmaids heads were adorned with handwoven flower wreaths. Wildflowers - picked by family and friends - decorated tables handmade from the salvaged trees.
"We were most struck by how relaxed and cheerful [Tasnah] was while juggling a hundred different moving pieces. We knew that was exactly the energy we wanted during our day as well...." read more
Brick and mortar turned wonderland.
"Tasnah helped to tease out our wedding vision
and found innovative and creative ways to bring it to life."
These two love birds returned to their Reading, PA roots to celebrate their re-dedication. The Goggle Works was a perfect "blank canvas" of a venue. Working with the natural lighting and exposed brick, the draped lace, handmade backdrops, along with Laura's "pop" of colors turned the room into a wonderland. Following a backyard ceremony, family and friends danced the night away!
"Tasnah's organization, leadership and preparation created the space for my husband and I to live in the moment and completely soak up the beauty of our day, the meaning of our love, and the love of our family..." read more
Camping BBQ adventure.
"We really want to have a Korean BBQ reception ... where guests cook their own food. And it's at this beautiful camp site. But... we're not guaranteed to have running water onsite."
This wedding was every outdoor-backpacking-climbing-adventure-couple's dream. The kind of wedding I've heard couples wistfully wish they could have - but wonder if they can pull off! So to help make this one come true was so much fun - from pre-wedding heart-pounding adventures with Caliventure, to a beautiful ceremony on a mountain meadow strewn with perfectly timed wildflowers and framed by an arch hand built by the groom, to mingling with guests as they grilled Korean BBQ in a grove of evergreens. Eco-friendly touches included carabiner clip mugs and rock and moss centerpieces.
