For Tiffany and Brian, they prioritized making their wedding feel classic, romantic, and cozy, and they did this by sticking to what was important to them. They splurged on bottomless drinks, live music, and ensured they had the time and space to spend with their guests while skipping out on things like cake cutting, bouquet toss, and newlywed games. That way, they had two hours to spend hanging out, dancing, and catching up. The two also threw an afterparty, again spending time with the people that matter most to them.
For these two, feeling stress-free was important to them, but a thunderstorm threatened their peace. Luckily, they had us on their side. We were able to bring cocktail hour indoors without a hitch. Plus, we were able to help them choose their venue and trustworthy vendors since they were out of state.
Post-wedding, the newlyweds want you to know this: “Don't stress out or get bogged down by all the little details. Think about what really matters to you, and don't get distracted by all the other extraneous things. Let whatever happens on the big day happen‚—just because things don't go exactly the way you expected it to, it doesn't make the day is any less perfect!”

Married February 19, 2023, Olivia and Jack wanted their colorful, creative, and bold wedding to be fun for everyone. They achieved that by picking Third Degree Glass Factory as their venue, leaning into the non-traditional like having a bridesman and adult cousins as their ring bearers, and of course, hiring Luna + Co. Weddings and Events.
Olivia and Jack hired us so that everyone could have fun, and especially the bride and groom. They sweet couple stated that they especially wanted help with set up, clean up, and timeline, and were most thankful for ensuring their day ran smoothly, helping with vendors, and relieving their stress.
According to the couple, “Luna + Co. is worth twice their fee! We should have hired them way earlier in the process. They were able to tailor a planning package just for us and it worked out perfectly!”

Kendra and Nick wanted their wedding to feel simple, chic, and timeless. Pairing their black and
white color scheme with the beautiful natural greenery of the Solarium, the couple allowed the natural beauty of the venue to shine. The two lovebirds also wanted their wedding day to feel fun and laid back, and included lounge sets, cocktail tables, and fire pit tables in their decor and dined on burgers and fries.
For their wedding day, they really wanted to capture the day’s looks and emotions without hiring a videographer, and us at Luna + Co. made that happen. Our favorite content creator stepped up to the plate and delivered beautiful behind-the-scenes footage with the couple. The two also said that they appreciated our team running the rehearsal, helping with various tasks on the wedding day, sticking to the timeline, and cleaning up after the wedding.
To other couples, Kendra and Nick say this: “My biggest piece of advice is to try to have fun with your planning! Choose details that feel like you and your fiancé and not just what is trendy or in style. Choose 1-2 things to specifically splurge on—whatever that means to you.”

When Claire and Cam planned their wedding, they wanted their guests to feel connected to the places meaningful to their relationship. Understanding that food brings people together, they chose food-centric venues. The rehearsal dinner featured breakfast foods, and their welcome party had a woodfire pizza bar, floral cocktails, cornhole, and find-the-guest bingo. And for their reception, held at their favorite Italian restaurant in STL, served family-style dishes, encouraging guest interaction and sharing the couple's favorite meals.
Realizing the importance of an advocate in wedding planning, they sought a trusted third party to guide them, communicate with vendors, and manage final details on the day. Luna + Co. Weddings and Events helped bring their vision to life, ensuring everything from bows to flowers was perfect and coordinating logistics smoothly.
Reflecting on their wedding, Claire and Cam advise engaged couples: “Incorporate your favorite things into your wedding. Whether it's a dessert, song, game, color, flower, or location, let your wedding celebrate you, and enjoy seeing your loved ones share in your favorites.”
