Candlelit Marshall’s Outpost Wedding Filled with Family and Love

Niki & Matt came to Arizona to celebrate their marriage with close family and friends at The Westin Kierland Marshall’s Outpost Pavilion. For both Matt and Niki, this was their second marriages. It was important to them to have their wedding party consist of all of their children combined. Niki and Matt had their ring ceremony after everyone was seated for the dinner reception so everyone could sit at their seats comfortably at the beautifully candle lit tables under starry night with strung bistro lights creating an elegant ambiance.. After the ring ceremony was over, the Groom, Matt, did a little comedy skit of how he asked Niki to marry him. The guests were laughing and appreciated the humor Matt brought for their entertainment. He did mention at the end ….. It was made up! lol!

Niki and Matt continued their evening on the dance floor where they had done their first dance. In the middle of their first dance they had couples join them on the dance for in the amount of years they had been married starting at 55 years counting downward. It was a beautiful sight to see by the end of their count down, pretty much all of their guests were on the dance floor. The night was full of dancing, smiles and constant laughter. Niki and Matt were surrounded by so much love by all! Their party continued on at their after party at the Brittlebush bar on property. Niki and Matt were so elated on how their special day turned out!!


“Heather and J Starr for your perfect day!

There really aren’t words to express how incredible Heather and the team from JStarr are to make your day go perfectly. Our entire group of friends and family were coming from out of town and Heather made the entire process seamless, from helping with hotel coordination to managing vendors and decor, and putting together timelines so no one was confused or stressed during the day. It allowed us to enjoy the entire weekend – and wedding day – as bride and groom! Highly recommend JStarr and the team to make your wedding day a dream!”
