No two of our weddings look alike.

Our portfolio.

Every wedding here started with the same question — what would feel most like the two of you? — and ended somewhere completely different. A City Hall morning. A garden in wine country. A museum after dark. A beach in another country. Different settings, different traditions, different ideas of a good party.

What they share isn't a look. It's that each one was built around real people — their families, their traditions, their version of a good party. Planned by Luciana, designed by Masumi, run by both of us on the day.

FEATURED · JUNE & MATT

“We started to work with Masumi, the co-founder who is a designer-genius, to make sure our stylistic vision came true… For a bride who never dreamt of having a wedding, I was definitely picky in taste and stubborn in the kind of 'vibe' I wanted… but Luciana and Masumi absolutely NAILED IT.”
— June

A destination wedding wasn't where June and Matt started — but the right one turned out to be a weekend in Puerto Vallarta with their closest people. We planned it from San Francisco and designed it down to the last detail: vows on a secluded beach, a tequila-shot seating chart in handblown orange glass, tablescapes of local blooms and Talavera tiles, fireworks, and a late-night Korean ramen station to close it out.


  • "What truly stood out was their commitment to inclusivity — they embraced our desire to work with LGBT vendors, including a drag queen…"

  • "The single best decision we made… was choosing to work with Luciana and Masumi… Every scenario was thoughtfully planned for, every detail we wanted was captured fully — both of them made sure to honor our wishes in the exact way we had hoped for… We had so many people comment on how fun, beautiful, and iconic the wedding was."

Tell us about the two of you, your people, and the day you're picturing. We'll take it from there — design and logistics, both of us, start to finish.
