A 220-guest waterfront ballroom dinner with a bay-view tea ceremony in the afternoon.
Rachel and Marcus came to us with a date, a guest list of two-hundred-and-twenty, and a quiet worry that a big hotel wedding would feel like everyone else’s. Our brief was simple: keep the grandeur, lose the template. We planned a single flowing day that began with an intimate tea ceremony for both families on a bay-facing suite floor, then opened into a ballroom dinner that felt warm rather than corporate.
The design language was deep blush and brass against the hotel’s natural light. We worked the banquet team’s timeline back from the first march-in, built two rehearsals into the run sheet, and quietly solved the things couples never see — a late RSVP surge, a soloist change a fortnight out, and a march-in route that kept the bridal party out of the lobby crowd.
On the day, Rachel’s only job was to be present. Our two coordinators ran the floor, cued the AV and the emcee, managed the ang bao and gift table, and kept both sets of parents looking after rather than running around. The couple still tell us the afternoon felt slow in the best way.
“We were guests at our own wedding, which is exactly what we hoped for. Evermore caught every detail we’d never have thought of.”
