A Lavish Garden Wedding at a Private Residence in Miami, FL
When Quebec natives Alfee and Geoffery envisioned their wedding day, it was all about celebrating with their friends and family. With guidance from Mindy Weiss and Kristen Daniel of the Mindy Weiss Party Consultants team, a Los Angeles based event planner, the duo hosted their 138 guests in South Beach. To kick off their destination nuptials the couple invited guests to attend a Mexican-themed rooftop welcome dinner, complete with margaritas and tacos. The next day, after relaxing on the beach and spending time with their loved ones who traveled so far for the day, Alfee and Geoffery split ways to prepare for their evening ceremony. The couple met in the late afternoon to share a first look, the bride in a custom Ines Di Santo fitted lace gown and the groom in a classic black Gucci tuxedo. While guests enjoyed a pre-ceremony cocktail hour, the bride and groom, along with their parents, sat with the officiant for a traditional ketubah signing. The couple exchanged vows beneath a secret garden-inspired chuppah, designed by Jose Graterol Designs, a Miami based floral designer. To celebrate their union, the bride and groom surprised guests with a gospel choir performance as they walked hand in hand down the aisle. Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a sit-down meal, lit by the glow of candlelight and strung edison bulbs. Late night bites fueled the high-energy dance party led by Montreal DJ Fafa Khan that stretched late into the night.
