Pride is More Than a Celebration- It’s a Powerful Reminder that Visibility Matters

We’re honored to share & highlight the incredible love stories of our LGBTQIA+ couples as we plan their best day ever!

Olivia & Cassie’s Love Story!

From the moment Olivia and Cassie chose us to be part of their wedding journey, it’s been such a blast getting to know them and helping bring their big day to life. Their story is full of love, joy, and genuine energy, and planning with them has been just as fun as it’s been meaningful. Making sure they feel totally seen, heard, and celebrated is what it’s all about, and we’re so excited to keep the good vibes going all the way to their big day!& Cassie’s Love Story!

“We met in 2020 and immediately hit it off. In late 2023 we got engaged and toured the pavilions shortly afterwards, and instantly knew it was the perfect venue for us. Everyone at the pavilions has been welcoming, and we have always felt heard and seen as a queer couple in our planning sessions. Plus we are so looking forward to the excellent food at our wedding!!

Thank you guys for your efforts in highlighting LGBTQIA+ couples this June!!

-Olivia & Cassie”

Dimitri Brewster

Dimitri is thrilled to be joining the Connecticut wedding group at the start of the 2025 season. He is joining us with what he likes to call “northern drive and southern hospitality”. The last 10 years in Charleston, South Carolina has given him experience in cooperate events, weddings, and restaurant management. He has also worked to help build and train teams from the ground up to produce the best experience internally and client facing.

His combined experience and passion in hospitality, and his degree in Interior Design help him to produce and execute beautifully detailed and thought out weddings from start to finish.

Wedding days can come with a whirlwind of emotions and seem to come to an end in the blink of an eye. Part of what Dimitri loves best is working closely with couples and their families to help navigate through those emotions on the special day, and to incorporate moments to pause and capture the beauty that comes with getting married!
