This event is starting to be one of my favorites – it’s the best way to start off the year energized and inspired. I love that The River Room opens it’s doors to couples to come see what a wedding could look like in the space and gives them the chance to meet the vendors who could help make their vision come to life.

As per usual, the Brittanie Raquel Events team planned a stunning, trendy design for the day that was absolutely PERFECT. The theme this year was romantic, modern, and sexy with lots of metallics and textures, alongside warm florals. They nailed it!!! Every area of the room was perfect.

It’s always so fun to see vendors bring their talents together to create the best of the best of our work. I would highly recommend every single person involved in this shoot, not only for their work but also for their personalities and dedication to their couples.

After a long day of shooting, we invited couples from all over to join us for a reception style open house where they could enjoy the Rose Wine Water from the bar, Gelarto, and hors devours from A Thyme Savor. It was all SO good – trust me, I sampled everything multiple times!!!

I am so looking forward to another year in the amazing Wilmington wedding community.
