When planning your destination wedding in your home state already could be a challenge, but then you throw in moving states and a pandemic, but that doesn’t

Kate + Chuck wanted the perfect destination Port Gamble wedding for their Labor Day garden party affair to celebrate their love and commitment to one another.

We first started working with this dream couple in August 2019 for their September 2020 wedding. We got started right away putting together the dream vendor team. We had just about every single detail planned out before the pandemic hit. Kate + Chuck knew if they wanted to have the wedding they wanted they would need to postpone for a year, but they had something else planned to seal their love.

The two said I Do in a beautifully intimate celebration in Savannah, GA. along with their sweet pup on their original date.

Just when we thought we had overcome every obstacle thrown their way, we had to find a new beauty vendor and DJ less than 2 weeks before their big day. Luckily, we were able to find the most incredible replacements.

The wedding day couldn’t have been any more perfect. From the ceremony to cocktail hour, and reception, guests were really treated to an incredible day filled with laughter, happy tears, great food, and drinks.

What we loved best this day where all of the stunning decor and signage and I know Kate and Chuck got to have the day they had been dreaming about for so very long.

Thank you Kate + Chuck for allowing me to be part of your very special day and hope to see you both soon when you visit home.
