The Wedding Brief

Katelyn & Stephen’s Wedding at a Historic New England Venue: A Masterclass in Seamless Planning

Planning a wedding at a historic venue in New England comes with its own set of unique logistical challenges, but we’re always up for the task. Katelyn & Stephen’s wedding was no exception. Hosted at a stunning but complex venue that changed ownership mid-planning, this celebration was filled with incredible details, vendor coordination, and strategic execution behind the scenes.

Navigating a Venue Transition with Ease

When Katelyn & Stephen’s venue changed hands during the planning process, the couple reached out for expert support. Our team stepped in, earlier than contracted, to ensure every detail was preserved and the transition to the new management team went smoothly. With our experience working at historic wedding venues, we were able to bridge the gap, maintain vendor timelines, and give the couple peace of mind.

This wasn’t our first time working with Katelyn’s family, we had the honor of planning two previous family weddings, so they knew they could trust us to handle the unexpected with care and professionalism.

A Wedding Weekend Full of Thoughtful Touches

This luxury New England wedding was filled with personalized experiences and elevated guest entertainment. Highlights included:

  • Prosecco & gelato carts before the ceremony and during cocktail hour

  • A live saxophonist from the Boston Bruins band, entertaining guests during the reception

  • A top-tier NYC-based catering team, multiple rental companies, international photographer, and customized transportation and accommodation logistics

Despite the scale and complexity, our team ensured every vendor was coordinated, every detail was accounted for, and the celebration ran smoothly from start to finish.

The Reality of Historic Wedding Venues

Behind the scenes, historic wedding venues often come with limited access points, narrow walkways, and outdated infrastructure that requires careful navigation. From load-in timing to vendor flow, we managed every logistical nuance to ensure a seamless experience for guests, and more importantly, for Katelyn & Stephen.

Our job is to solve problems before they’re even noticed. Guests shouldn’t see the behind-the-scenes work, they should only feel the magic of the day.
