Values
Weddings at Every Price Point
Whether you’re celebrating your wedding in a grand, opulent venue or a cozy, sentimental space like your own backyard, we believe every couple deserves access to high-quality, professional vendors. Your wedding doesn’t need to fit a specific “vibe” for us to be excited to work with you. We proudly serve couples of all styles, budgets, and visions.
Every couple deserves to have their love celebrated.
We could fill our entire calendar with couples who all look, and love, the same. But we don’t want to. Simply saying that we reject the sexism, racism, ableism and heteronormativity that underpin the wedding industry isn’t enough. Making a space welcoming to all requires concrete actions at every level. We are taking steps to advance equity for all of our couples, for the vendors we work with, and for our employees who make everything run. This work is necessary and ongoing, and we will continue to build inclusive practices into our business on every level.
Our Values
Hiring
-
People of any educational background are considered for employment.
-
We’ve worked to make our dress codes more inclusive, ensuring that people can celebrate their cultural and religious identities through their hair, jewelry, and tattoos freely in the workplace.
-
We've started an annual, anonymous employee feedback survey so we can continually improve our workplace cultural and operations.
-
We believe that minimum wage is just that, the minimum. With a starting pay of $18 an hour for our event staff and annual raises, we try to provide more than just the baseline.

Safety
-
We know that the opioid epidemic has impacted many lives in many ways, including the lives of some couples and their guests. Our staff is trained to administer Narcan which travels with us to events.
-
Research shows that people often look to staff for guidance during emergencies. We’ve gone beyond the minimum state requirements by ensuring that every member of our team is Crowd Manager Certified so guests can be safely evacuated during an emergency.
-
While emergencies are rare, we are prepared in the event that someone on our premises has an urgent medical need. We work hard to foster relationships with emergency first responders so that we can ensure that help arrives promptly and that guests are treated with the utmost care.
-
All of our staff are required to be CPR certified.
-
Weddings and open bars go hand-in-hand. That said, we want guests to get home safely and responsibly. You can book our trolley to shuttle guests safely to and from the event.
Charitable Giving
-
We discount events that are hosted by and benefit our local non-profit organizations.
Environmentally Conscious
The average wedding produces 400 pounds of garbage and 63 tons of carbon dioxide. We’re changing that narrative.
-
With our knowledgeable staff who will talk you through everything you need to know, you’ll be able to cut through the digital noise and avoid wasting money and resources on planning books and magazines you’ll only use once.
-
We’re currently in the process of digitizing all forms, contracts and resources.
-
Looking to reduce your guests' car emissions as they travel to you? Have guests flying in from out of town, but don't want everyone to have to rent cars? You can book our trolley to shuttle guests to and from the event.
-
We provide numerous high-end decor options, all without adding to the landfill. You can even donate your DIY decor elements after the event and be sure they’ll be used again! Some of our favorite pieces are from past couples who wanted to pay it forward.
-
We maintain relationships with many local vendors, including florists who make a point of sourcing flowers from local farms.
