THE STORY

Design cues were pulled from one of their favorite natural wine bars in NYC and fond memories of some their trips to South America... warm wood bar, cozy bar stools, hand thrown ceramic urns and dried, textural blooms. True foodies, the evening focused on an Alice Waters inspired farm to table menu full of fresh, seasonal produce passed apps and charcuterie, cheese, crudite and dip station. Guests were guided to their seats with jars filled with fleur de sel and dried rosemary from their garden. The dinner spaced was transformed with wildflowers and other grassy textural elements mimicking the native vegetation on property to feel as if the blooms and natural elements flowed effortlessly from outside to inside. Even bringing in some rock elements and crafting "tumbleweeds" for the tables. As the sun set across the Potomac, the dance floor heated up with an epic band and high energy.

IN THEIR WORDS

From day one, they seemed to really get our vibe and our vision—a vision that they flawlessly brought to life on our wedding day. They are highly creative, have top industry connections, and were sensitive to all of our requests and needs. They were truly a joy to work with, and we are so grateful that we chose Vieira Events to plan our special day.
