want their wedding to feel as timeless
as their love story.

CURATED BY MARK KOPITZKE & THE EVENING BEAT BAND
Weddings people talk about for years after.
The best weddings celebrate not only two stories coming together but become stories themselves.
We help create those stories with you.
Let’s be honest.
Planning a wedding can seem overwhelming.
Two worlds coming together also means all your friends’ & families’ diverse mix of needs, tastes, and [helpful or not] opinions.
We got you.

“When I got married, people said my wife & I created an evening that felt so “us.” They still talk about how beautiful that was.
That’s what I like to help create for other couples—a safe, inspiring space for friends and two families to come together.”
