These are a few of my favorite things:

My baby brother all grown up

What a blessing it was to play such a big role in my baby brother’s big day! Seeing him so happy with his blushing bride, was a highlight, but ALSO watching all his closest friends come around to celebrate was so fun and truly core memory material. Also, gotta love when your little bro writes you a review… lol…

Durango Event Planners are the best! they made planning our wedding a breeze. The whole event ran smooth with no hiccups. The layout was gorgeous and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding. Thanks again DEP!

Affordable simplicity

I love that we were able to take a tight budget for this guest count and use it to create really simple and pretty elegance. DIY’ing some of the flowers, choosing a tucked away venue, and using tables and chairs provided by the venue space were a few ways we opted to save money.

A new sister! <3

Wasn’t Emily just gorgeous? She’s as sweet at heart as she is beautiful and we are SO excited to welcome another sister into the Kairalla sister clan. She’s a great review writer too…

Using Durango Event Planners for our wedding was the best decision ever! Everyone knows planning a big event such as a wedding can be stressful, but working with Amber and Rose made it a super fun and relaxed process! I could tell they really wanted us to have the wedding of our dreams and did everything they could to make that happen! Both Amber and Rose are very professional and knowledgeable about the whole process. Their guidance and recommendations were so helpful! My wedding turned out perfect and I couldn’t have done it without them!

The food was to die for

Durango Catering Company knocked this simple meal out of the park. Simple, delicious Italian options with quality bread, a big salad and a local beer on the side. What more can you ask for? Well… hot food, prepared right on time, which they ALSO knocked out of the park.

Cute as heck flower girl

Okay, biased again, but it was so fun watching my baby girl walk down the aisle as a flower girl — even if she did need help from her daddy and chase after her ring bearer brother (who was chasing after a dog) when she got to the end of the aisle.
