About the Couple:
As Westpoint Graduates, Ryan and Jacob planned their wedding from afar. We were lucky to be their local Raleigh wedding planners to help support across timezones! They are both employed as helicopter pilots, and it was a pleasure supporting them as they maintained their responsibilities in their demanding careers. Ryan had a vision for a trendy, colorful wedding over Labor Day Weekend and we had so much fun helping produce their celebration. The weather was perfect for a North Carolina wedding in the Summer.
Kind words from the couple:
“My literal fairy godmother!!!! Haines, and the entire Significant Events team, was a highlight of my wedding weekend. From the beginning, Haines was organized and always willing to help. She was available for any questions I had during the entire planning process. My wedding day went incredibly smooth, with a timeline she created that I was able to send to all important parties. All my guests noted how seamless and easy the day went! With Significant Events, you will receive an extremely personalized and tailored experience. Hiring Haines was the best decision I made for my best day ever!”
