Persian Traditions and Timeless Style at Mountain Shadows

Lily & Tyler’s wedding day was nothing less than incredible! Lily had exquisite taste, from choosing her decor for the wedding day to what she & Tyler wore and her vendor selections.Their wedding day began with a first look between Lily & her father that had everyone in the room in tears! She then went to meet her dapper groom in front of the iconic Mountain Shadows building. They shared personal vows and some of the most beautiful newlywed photos.

Their guests were greeted with a glass of champagne before being witness to a traditional Persian ceremony complete with a Sofreh Aghd & sugar veil.When cocktail hour on the terrace was complete, guests moved inside for the most delicious dinner and dessert, after the knife dance, of course! Lily & Tyler choreographed their first dance and didn’t miss a beat! No one could take their eyes off of them. The dance floor was packed while both Persian and traditional American dance hits were played.I am so honored to have been part of such a fun celebration!! Thanks, Lily & Tyler, for letting me be part of your day!


Dream Wedding by J. Starr!

My husband and I got married in April 2024 and were paired with Alicia. I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful of an experience we had with Alicia and the J.Starr wedding team! Our experience was nothing short but wonderful. Alicia, you truly made our vision come to life and it was even better than we ever imagined. I’ll never forget that night and even the little things you did to help make our day a little less crazy, from helping bustle my dress, to changing me out of my heels and into my sneakers, and making sure everything is taken care of and accounted for afterwards. Highly recommend working with J.Starr for your wedding!! THANK YOU Alicia, Jennifer, and the rest of the team!”
