What to say!?? The absolute sweetest couple and fa What to say!?? The absolute sweetest couple and family. We knew this was gonna be an awesome day because every second of planning up until this had been amazing. Our bartenders and our staff even commented on how kind the guests were and it was a complete reflection on how amazing the couple was. Lauren and AJ… Last weekend was perfection… so happy to have been a part of it! 🥂💍🤍😊

PS - We love the impromptu moments… Which is why when Lauren sat down and started eating a banana 10 minutes before the ceremony, it was our favorite part of the whole day! 😁

It’s hard to match the character of The Covenant a It’s hard to match the character of The Covenant at Murray Mansion! From getting married and celebrating your reception in a repurposed church, to getting ready and hosting cocktail hour in a 150 year-old mansion (the same mansion that the Murray family used to host luxurious and elegant garden parties outside of), the property has the perfect blend of old charm and modern glamour. Haven’t seen it in-person yet? We’d love to show you around!!
Olivia and Kory. 🤍 A peek into yesterday’s perfect Olivia and Kory. 🤍 A peek into yesterday’s perfection of a wedding day. Olivia dreamt about getting married on the Ivy Wall, but the weather this week looked less than promising. Her family and our team game planned and decided that unless it was thundering, the ceremony was happening outside! 🤞🏻 Turns out, we had no worries… Weather cleared up and no rain on the forecast! The bride’s friends and family spent three days making their own floral centerpieces and it was absolutely stunning. SO happy we got to be part of this day… It’s a couple (and their families) that we will always treasure. More pics to come! 🤍
