We asked the team to share whether they have a favorite wedding they’ve worked and why, and here’s what they had to say!
The FRE team works on so many different weddings, and we truly love each and every one of them. But every once in a while, there’s a wedding day that stands out for one reason or another. Maybe it’s the unique decor, the incredible florals, the sweetest couple, or a vendor team that makes the entire day run seamlessly. Some wedding days just stick with us!

We’re so excited to share some photos from Leah and Owen’s day at the Adler Planetarium! ✨
Whenever we have couples that really want to put their personality into their wedding, we get a little extra excited. Leah and Owen really wanted their science-side to show through while celebrating their love story and their day did exactly that. With the model centerpieces, the amazing venue itself, the attire, and the Jewish traditions we were able to bring to their day surely made their wedding unique to them and their love story. It was so special to watch them celebrate with their loved ones at the planetarium. We’re so grateful we got to be part of their day and help bring their vision to life!

We feel incredibly lucky to work in and experience so many beautiful spaces with our couples!

While you celebrate, we coordinate!
Our goal is to get you on the dance floor as quickly as possible and, most importantly, make sure you actually get to enjoy your wedding day. While you’re celebrating with your loved ones, you won’t have to worry about things like cleaning up decor, keeping track of your veil, coordinating your late-night snack delivery, or any of the other little details happening behind the scenes, because that’s what we’re there for! You get to focus on celebrating, and we’ll handle the rest.
Like if you want to be able to fully enjoy your wedding day!
