Set against the iconic backdrop of the University of Notre Dame campus, this breathtaking outdoor celebration combined airy, tented luxury with lush garden romance.

The reception centered around a grand sailcloth tent with warm wooden support poles and sweeping lines. To transform the space into a high-end venue, we installed custom wood-look vinyl flooring in a light oak tone beneath the entire footprint, extending seamlessly onto the grand entryway path.

Overhead, an incredible canopy of cascading greenery and woven rattan pendant lanterns created an intimate, glowing atmosphere above the dining area. Place settings featured natural woven charger plates, patterned linens in soft sage and sky blue, tied napkins, cut-glass stemware, and modern flatware. Bright pops of peach, coral, buttercup yellow, lilac, and blush florals adorned the tables, stage front, and custom-bordered dance floor, perfectly complementing the soft blue bar and arched cane back bars.
