Vintage Gothic Romance by Candlelight

Maddison & Jason had a dreamy gothic wedding. Their special day was a captivating blend of gothic elegance and timeless allure. The venue was adorned with flickering candles and ornate candelabras, creating an intimate and ethereal atmosphere. Maddison, a vision in white, walked down the aisle in a breathtaking ball gown. But the magic didn’t stop there! For their grand entrance, Maddison surprised everyone by changing into a stunning black dress, adding a touch of mystery and allure to the evening. The couple’s first dance was nothing short of magical, as they twirled and swayed amidst a mesmerizing haze, creating a moment that will be forever etched in their hearts. To top it all off, the couple indulged in a vintage-style cake that perfectly complemented the gothic theme, adding a touch of nostalgia to the celebration. They danced the night away, surrounded by loved ones, creating memories that will last a lifetime.


“Happiest Bride Ever! Five Stars Across the Board!

I have so many positive things to say about JStarr and Adriana (our wedding coordinator). I will start by recapping my very first panicked phone call with Jennifer. I was lost and clueless, trying to find a coordinator in my budget who “got the vibe” I was trying to go with. I explained to Jennifer how I loved phantom of the opera, dark and moody, and along more gothic vibes. She understood the assignment!! She paired me with Adriana and assured me she was the best of the best. And boy was that an understatement.


For context, my poor husband and I had a LOT of unfortunate family drama that caused some very tense and anxious moments. I was highly distracted and was likely very unhelpful to Adriana who had to pull together miracles at the last minute thanks to my state of chaos. She was firm when she had to be firm to get me to comply to (very valid and serious) deadlines, and I am grateful for that. She hopped onto countless zoom meetings for reassurance and direction. She went far beyond what was described to me in the initial consult. Adriana literally made my jaw drop and made me sob. Why? I left an entire room full of candles, battery operated candles, picture frames and photos, and an excessive amount of fake flower arrangement in a storage room at the venue. She somehow read my mind and assembled the ceremony space and reception space exactly how I imagined WITHOUT ME TELLING HER. I drew a child’s rendition of a table layout and it was rushed and awful and she somehow nailed it all by herself.

When I saw it all put together, I cried so hard and had chills down my body. I will never forget that feeling. I will never forget that moment. Adriana had limited time to work and she pulled it together flawlessly. She ensured everything was exactly how I wanted and then some. She added little touches to things that really added to the decor. I never expected my wedding to come together and look as incredible as it did. Adriana left me speechless. Thank you, Jennifer, for working with my budget and believing in my vision, and for pairing me with Adriana. Thank you, Adriana, for being an actual magician and creating the set of Phantom of the Opera just as I dreamed of. Thank you for managing my chaotic life and organizing everything and quite literally going above and beyond what you originally were going to do. I can never thank you enough. To all of you reading this review, DO NOT HESITATE to sign up with them. I take that back, if you’re a pain in the butt or if you’re a mean person, please do not work with them. They don’t deserve that!
