We are so excited to be sharing Taylor and Tres’ wedding on our blog! This wedding was a special planning collaboration with Grace Leisure Events (a fellow planner and friend) and this family was a dream come true to work with! We were honored to work alongside Grace to help plan an event with Taylor and Tres’ and their families. As the wedding weekend approached, we began hearing about a possible hurricane coming this way. Hurricane Matthew caused us to make a few changes to our original weekend plan but overall, we were incredibly fortunate to be working with a phenomenal team of vendors who all braved the storm to make the day perfect for Taylor and Tres. A true weekend of fun was planned for these two Duke Alum complete with a low country boil rehearsal dinner, a welcome bash with Zac Brown Cover band 20 Ride, and a tailgate party (in between their noon Duke Chapel Ceremony and 6pm Cocktail Hour at Washington Duke). Check out some of favorite images below by the talented Riley Maclean Photography.

“ I heard all the stories about how the parents of the bride never get to enjoy the wedding because they are always worried about this and that. With Megan, she assumed all of those details, communicated very efficiently throughout the event, navigated around the usual last-minute surprises, and is the sole reason I was able to thoroughly enjoy the most important day in my daughter’s life. She EXCEEDED anything I could have imagined a planner to do on the day of the event. It was like having a private concierge that was intimately invested in the outcome of both my daughter’s and guests’ satisfaction.”
