Historic Charm for Extraordinary Weddings
veryone has a different vision for their wedding, and by choosing to have the ceremony and reception at the Grand Highland hotel, a couple can bring that vision to life.
“We’re offering custom experiences,” said Jeanne Murphy, head of wedding and event sales for the hotel.
And they’re offering those experiences in a setting that is iconic Prescott. Built in 1903, the Grand Highland features historic charm, including lots of original elements such as bricks, windows, and flooring still in place, general manager Natasha Baierl said. Plus, it’s the only Whiskey Row venue with both indoor and outdoor venues (the ballroom and the Holiday Courtyard).
Baked with Love
Since she was a child, baking has been a love language for Kelly Gallegos. Now, through her business, Mac Daddy Macarons, she bakes love into every single cookie she makes.
French macarons, meringue-based sandwich cookies made with almond flour, egg whites, confectioners’ sugar, and fillings, are “having a moment right now,” Kelly said, in large part because they’re nice to look at. Kelly initially wanted to learn to make them even though she’d never tasted one, because “they’re just beautiful.”
A Rainy Day Wedding at the Van Dickson Ranch
It rained most of the day during Samara and Abe’s wedding at the Van Dickson Ranch in Skull Valley. It was just the third time in 14 years and 348 weddings that it rained during a ceremony, but this was a doozy.
Getting the Epic Shot
Kimberly Marsh never planned to start a photography business. Now, a decade in, she said during a recent interview, “I love it.”
Kim specializes in portraits and personal branding—and doing things differently.
Shortly after she started photographing people, others would see the photos and say, “I can see their soul in that picture,” or, “I feel like I know them,” or, “I can see straight through them.”
Destination Weddings Checklist
Las Vegas is the “Wedding Capital” of the world, and it certainly lives up to its name. While researching, we were a bit overwhelmed by the number of chapels and locations from which to choose. We finally chose the Little Church of the West, the oldest wedding chapel in Las Vegas and a venue for couples from all over the globe since 1942. Our reception was directly afterward at Distill – a Neighborhood Bar, which has an amazing private space over its restaurant/bar. The weekend was full of shows, meetups, interactive museums, and family.
Glorious Bursts of Color and Lush Green Abundance
Wendy and her husband Greg started offering weddings and other events on their 30-acre property four years ago (their son Grant and his bride Sofia were the first to get married there).
Hosting events at Lynx Creek Farm is a family affair. Wendy and Greg live on the property, and their daughter Raphael is the day-of coordinator.
Between events, the trio works to constantly beautify the property, adding color and depth to its wide-open views.
Sparking Creativity and Personalization
Sisters Annie Sharp and Holly Jones of One Hundred Chairs specialize in adding a personal touch and unique flair to life celebrations of every type.
Suspended Fluidity
Jen Martin is a master of movement, transitioning from one skill to the next with the grace and fluidity earned after years of dance training. She is strong and elegant, creative and artistic.
And she accomplishes all this while suspended in the air on one of several different apparatus.
Prescott’s Premier Event for Engaged Couples
For engaged couples who haven’t chosen a wedding venue, the 2023 Prescott Bridal Affaire Expo is the place to be!
With more venues participating as exhibitors than ever before in the event’s history, engaged couples will be able to learn about this area’s variety of venues, from indoor to outdoor, casual to elegant, forest to lakeside, and everything in between.
More Than Just Taking Pictures
Our life’s mantra: “Do what you love, master your craft, and invest in the lives of those around you”.
To us, photography is much more than just taking pictures – it’s about building relationships and being part of meaningful moments in the lives of others. We work together to capture the energy and excitement of weddings and large-scale events (live music, rodeo, professional football, theatre).
