Choosing your wedding venue is about so much more than finding a beautiful backdrop. It's choosing the place where you'll exchange your vows, celebrate with the people you love most, and begin your marriage together.

On the newest episode of Now You May Kiss™, I had the privilege of sitting down with Patti Falconer of Parties on the Terrace to talk about what truly makes a wedding venue unforgettable.

We discussed:
🤍 How to know when you've found the right venue
🤍 Questions every couple should ask during venue tours
🤍 Why hospitality matters just as much as beautiful scenery
🤍 How to create a wedding day you can actually enjoy

My favorite moment came near the end of our conversation when Patti shared this beautiful advice:

"Don't just rent the venue. Feel yourself in the space. This is a meaningful place, and it's where your marriage begins."

If you're engaged, or know someone who is, I hope you'll give this episode a listen.

Because your wedding lasts one day...Your marriage lasts a lifetime.

54 years...Just imagine sitting across from your Beloved 54 years from now.

What advice would you hope your future selves could give you today?

In this episode of the Now You May Kiss™ Podcast, I had the joy of interviewing Belle Gayer on her 54th wedding anniversary.

Together we talk about what really makes a marriage last—from surviving difficult seasons and navigating change to communicating well, practicing empathy, and intentionally choosing each other every day.

One of my favorite reminders from our conversation: "Your wedding is a moment. Your marriage is a lifetime."

If you're engaged or know someone who is, I hope you'll listen to this heartfelt conversation.

This morning, I saw a post on Reddit where the couple was struggling to figure out their wedding vision, and seeking advice. This is something nearly EVERY newly engaged couple goes through. If this is you, I hope this blog post will be helpful.

Would you like to have your outdoor wedding in a meadow overlooking the river and surrounded by mountains?

Some ceremony moments can’t be scripted… and honestly, those are usually the ones everyone remembers most. 🤍

While guests may forget the signature cocktail or the color of the napkins, they’ll always remember how your wedding felt.

This little ring bearer absolutely stole hearts at this beautiful celebration at Gray Bridge Venue. He carefully delivered the rings, collected his candy diamond reward, and proudly declared: “I NEED this!” 🍭💍 It was joyful, genuine and truly unforgettable!

And that’s the beauty of meaningful ceremonies. They leave room for personality, emotion, laughter, and the little unscripted moments that become part of your legacy forever.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding ceremony that feels deeply personal, emotionally present, and unmistakably you, I’d love to help create that experience alongside you. Contact Chanelle to begin crafting your ceremony

Two years ago today, they said “I do.” Today, they’re still saying “I choose you.” 🤍

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary to Diana and Kyle, a couple whose love is equal parts joy, partnership, and deep friendship. It was truly such a privilege to stand beside you on one of the most meaningful days of your lives (and one of the windiest). It is a joy to watch your love and family grow.



Thank you to Bella Vida Photography for capturing such a sweet moment that was years in the making!
