Read MoreHow fabulous are these two?! When Izak and Danny first reached out to us to plan their destination wedding in Venice, they originally had a micro wedding with only a handful of people in mind. After announcing their plans to marry in Venice, the small elopement quickly turned into a full scale intimate wedding as no one wanted to miss out on the scenery and celebrations in Italy.
Read MoreWhen we first decided to launch our European destination wedding team, we knew Ireland had to be one of the locations we focused on. The rolling countryside, castles, cliffs and headlands, the welcoming locals with their cozy pubs and their love of the craic (the Gaelic word for social fun, and yes it’s pronounced “crack”) and the ever changing light on the landscape makes beautiful backdrops and an inviting environment to gather…
