Emphasizing Ease for the Ultimate Family Gathering

It was integral to the couple’s vision that all the wedding festivities occur at one venue so their guests could relax and enjoy themselves. We instantly knew the Ritz Carlton was the only choice for the ease and elegance the couple was looking for - from the dramatically lit ceremony to specialty cocktails in the elegant foyer to the reception space, complete with dozens upon dozens of flickering candles.

Unexpected drama made the couple’s ballroom ceremony unforgettable, from the towering floral arrangements and altarpiece covered in ivory drape to the thoughtfully designed lighting.

In true Texas fashion, the toasts were grand and lively, the gourmet meal was impeccably delicious, and the live band was bursting with an infectious energy that had guests dancing and laughing well into the night. The couple hadn’t a care in the world as they celebrated, knowing we had taken care of every detail—talk about ease!

When Mary and John were planning their wedding day, they had just two big goals: To be as hands off as possible on the day of and to host an evening of timeless, joyous revelry. With an instant connection to Mary’s classic vision and immediate trust from the couple, we set off to design their day with ease, elegance, and entertainment as our guiding lights.

Throughout the wedding weekend, Mary and John were overjoyed to unite their two close-knit families for the first time, and with John hailing from a large family of entertainers, we wanted them to fully lean into and enjoy their vision come to life.

The festivities began with a rehearsal dinner at the Crescent Club, where the classic dark wood-paneled space paired with blue-and-white decor proved a breathtaking space to toast to the gathering of both families and the beautiful couple. Family and friends dined on a traditional Italian meal while overlooking a breathtaking view of downtown Dallas.
