One of my favorite parts of being in the wedding industry is meeting all of the amazing vendors that work together to celebrate a couple's first day as husband and wife! We’ll be highlighting some of these talented professionals in what we’ll call, Friendor (friend x vendor) Friday! These are the best of the best that we absolutely love working with on wedding days. Our recommendations to my lovely Bride & Grooms are currently all located in St. Louis but stay tuned, we'll highlight other cities shortly! ;)

What is your favorite part of your job?

My favorite part is getting to meet new people all the time! Whether it’s my couples and their friends and family, or the incredible vendors in our industry (like you!),  I love that I’m constantly making new connections and forming new relationships every day.

What makes your business different than others?

I always strive to connect with people. I love being able to hang with my clients like we’ve been friends for years, and ensuring they feel the same way around me. Trust is a huge part of hiring someone to help you plan your wedding day and I don’t ever want my clients to feel like they can’t trust me, my vision, and my capabilities.

What is your favorite thing to create? Why?

This might sound silly but this is a tie between a good tablescape and a detailed timeline. There is no feeling more satisfying than seeing a perfect table set-up come together as a beautifully finished product, especially when it started out in my brain as a million different ideas. And I live off the minute-by-minute details in a perfectly structured timeline. Watching a plan come together just as you imagined it is what gives me life!

What’s one thing you couldn’t live without? Why?

My phone. I would die. It’s my lifeline to not only my family + friends but also my business and I literally wouldn’t be able to function without it. It that bad?

If you had to only eat one thing for dinner for the next year, what would you eat?

Mexican food, hands down!

What’s one small business in St. Louis you love?

This is so hard! I have so many that I love in so many different sectors. I’d say Mulligans Grill, which is one of my husband + I’s favorite spots to eat + drink. It’s a family owned restaurant that’s been around for years and you feel that every time you walk in. We love that it’s always filled with familiar faces and not to mention they have the best wings in town!


Amanda & George's Outdoor Winter Wedding at The Chase Park Plaza | St. Louis Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Amanda & George's Outdoor Winter Wedding at The Chase Park Plaza | St. Louis Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Amanda was standing at the hostess stand at SqWires Restaurant the first time she laid eyes on George. He ran his fingers through his long, curly hair as he walked through the door and she was immediately infatuated with him. It didn’t take George too long to fall in love with Amanda; after only dating two weeks, he knew she was the one he wanted to spend forever with. 

After cancelling a wedding in Hawaii, George & Amanda wed on the rooftop of The Chase Park Plaza on a cold, January afternoon. Guests bundled up in fleece blankets and sipped hot toddy's during the couple's nuptials. 

Amanda donned a simple and elegant strapless dress with an indulgent train and regal cathedral length detachable cape from White Traditions Bridal House. However, I'm a bit partial to Amanda's something blue, her blue Badgley Mischka pointed toe pumps. There were lots of happy tears and shrieks of joy when Amanda's bridesmaids saw her for the first time! George was dapper in a classic black tux and black bowtie from Men's Warehouse. Their entire bridal party looked timeless, wearing black dresses, and black tuxes. 

Following the ceremony, George and Amanda celebrated their love with some of their closest friends and family in the Starlight Ballroom. Guests enjoyed a delicious cake from Made by Lia, of which I broke Whole 30 for... and it was worth it! ;) George dipped and twirled Amanda around the dance floor, where she also dipped and twirled him during their first dance to Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton. Guests joined them on the socially distanced dance floor to sing and dance along to Don't Stop Believing, where most people stayed the rest of the evening! What a great wedding to start our 2021 wedding season. 


Amanda & George, we wish you the absolute very best with a lifetime of happiness, and hopefully, no more injuries. ;)
