Let it be joyful
These three unique sessions are each designed to be used like intentional date nights—to really connect as a couple and get a fresh perspective on your wedding.
It’s the perfect engagement gift to yourselves!
Session 1 - Make it Meaningful
The Why behind your wedding, or your wedding purpose.
We often conflate the event’s function—to get married—with its purpose, which is entirely different and unique to each couple. Without a bold, personal purpose, weddings run the risk of following so closely to the oft-repeated form and function of weddings as to feel like every other wedding and missing the opportunity to truly transform the people involved.
Session 2 - Make it Intimate
Next, we explore the Who, or your wedding guest list.
Experience design is about bringing a group of people together in a way that sparks genuine connection. Couples often forget that while they personally know everyone there, most wedding guests will be perfect strangers to each other and will need some guidance and orientation to gel as a group.
Session 3 - Make it Magic
And finally, the How, or your wedding design experience.
When we bring people together with a generosity of spirit, purposely prioritize how we want others to feel, and engage rather than merely entertain, that is where the magic happens. In the last session, we start with the emotions we want to trigger, and then create moments that guests haven’t experienced before, that they will remember, that will resonate deeply, that will give them goosebumps.

FAQs
How long does all this take?
This online experience is designed to be spread out however you choose over the course of a few weeks. Each session can be completed in less than 90 minutes during an intimate evening together (this is really the perfect activity for an outside-the-box date night), or spaced out in smaller doses during lunch breaks and stolen moments. You may want to reflect on something and come back to it later. It’s kind of a choose your own adventure scenario, though all together expect to spend a few hours total really diving into all the materials.
When is the best time in the wedding planning process to do this?
The sooner the better, and preferably before making any of the big ticket decisions about your wedding or dropping too much money. This program really helps you clarify where your wedding priorities lie so you can focus on what matter most, and disregard the rest. That said, it’s never really too late in the process to ensure you are injecting a good dose of intention and heart into the proceedings.
What does it mean to "design" our wedding?
When most people hear "design" they think either graphic design or pretty things to put on tables. We take a much broader, more holistic approach to the concept of “design,” meaning everything that goes into the creation and execution of your wedding from the broad strokes of what it will look and feel like, down to crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s. It’s bringing your vision for your perfect wedding day to life, and we do it all with connection in mind.
What will this leave me and my partner with?
You are essentially buying two things: a very personalized roadmap to creating the wedding of your dreams, and an immersive experience to share as a couple that will bring you closer together. It's an alternative to the default wedding planning books, and makes a perfect engagement gift.
