This LA River Center and Gardens Wedding was a long time in the making. We went through several reschedules due to covid regulations and other illnesses. Through it all though most of the original vendors stayed in tact. We worked to give two amazing people the wedding they deserved after so much hardship. The day of the wedding felt like such a long time coming and the fruition of so much work and love that everyone poured into this event.

We started the day at Kelly and Matt’s home. Where the energy was calm as everyone got ready for the day. We got to the LA River Center and Gardens right before the ceremony started. The ceremony felt so quaint and quiet compared to the rest of Los Angeles. The ceremony was emotional and solidified that this wedding was worth the wait. The reception was a gleeful party that involved cake, dancing, and even an Irish tradition of cutting the grooms tie. The night ended on such a good note that I didn’t want it to end.

I also have to say how impressed I am with Jessica of Art and Soul Events. She went above and beyond for Kelly and Matt. She kept things running and stood by them through countless reschedules. She really is one of the most amazing planners I’ve ever encountered. I definitely recommend her if you want someone that will make all of your wedding dreams come true. She’s put together some amazing events throughout the years, but this one is obviously my favorite. I may be biased though.
