Some weddings feel especially meaningful because they focus on exactly what matters most – love, intention, and the people who mean the most. Marc and Will’s celebration in Charlotte was a beautiful example of just that. Thoughtfully planned and deeply personal, their wedding weekend unfolded over two days, allowing them to savor every moment with their closest loved ones.

A Private Ceremony at Rosie’s Wine Garden

Marc and Will began their wedding celebrations with an intimate private ceremony on November 13, 2025, at Rosie’s Wine Garden. Surrounded by a small group of their closest loved ones, the couple exchanged vows in a setting that perfectly reflected the warmth and authenticity of their relationship.

The garden’s relaxed atmosphere created a meaningful start to the weekend, one that felt deeply personal and centered on the couple’s love story.

A Celebration at Van Landingham Estate

The following day, Marc and Will gathered their favorite people once again at the historic Van Landingham Estate for a reception that felt equal parts elegant and welcoming. Known for its timeless charm and lush surroundings, the estate provided the perfect backdrop for the couple’s intimate celebration.

Guiding the day from start to finish was Radiant Bliss Designs, whose thoughtful planning ensured every detail reflected Marc and Will’s vision. From the flow of the evening to the warm atmosphere throughout the estate, the celebration felt seamless and personal.

A Unique Cocktail Hour Moment

One of the most memorable aspects of the evening was how Marc and Will reimagined the traditional reception timeline.

Instead of waiting until dinner, the couple chose to share their speeches during cocktail hour, allowing everyone to relax and truly be present for the reception later in the evening. This thoughtful approach created a heartfelt moment early in the celebration, giving guests the opportunity to hear meaningful words and stories while mingling and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the estate.

The choice set the tone for a reception that felt intimate, joyful, and centered around connection.

Elegant Details & Warm Atmosphere

The reception space glowed with romantic lighting and elegant décor, thoughtfully designed with rentals from Curated Events Charlotte. Beautiful tablescapes, glowing candlelight, and classic seating created an inviting atmosphere that complemented the estate’s historic charm.

Under twinkling lights, guests gathered to dine, celebrate, and enjoy an evening that felt both refined and relaxed, exactly what Marc and Will envisioned.

A Joyful Reception With Their Favorite People

By thoughtfully planning the evening, including sharing speeches during cocktail hour and creating a relaxed, welcoming reception, the couple ensured guests could truly connect and celebrate together. The result was a celebration that felt lively, meaningful, and deeply personal, perfectly reflecting Marc and Will’s love and the community surrounding them.

Cheers to the happy couple!
