The Howey Mansion: Rachel & Weston's Dreamy Celestial Wedding

Our Anna Christine Events team’s next feature was in September of 2023, with Rachel & Weston’s dreamy celestial wedding at the beautiful Howey Mansion. The couple’s day was filled with dark and moody decor that was perfectly themed to bring their celestial theme together. It was captured by the incredible photographer Lauren Schoepfer Photography.

Getting ready was spent by the bride and groom in the historic upstairs rooms of The Howey Mansion with parents there to help put the perfect touches on their wedding day attire. After our bride, Rachel was ready to go, she shared a sweet first look on the staircase with her father and then tucked away while guests arrived to their outdoor ceremony with the in-house mahogany chiavari chairs from The Howey Mansion and a beautiful floral touch with a golden circle arch decorated with greenery and jewel tone florals to match the rest of their florals throughout the wedding day.

Once our sweet couple was pronounced husband and wife, they went off on their own to take pictures around the entire historic property of the mansion where the sparkle of their love and her stunning bridal cape shined through!

As guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the back patio and courtyard, the vendors finalized everything in the ballroom for a perfect dreamy celestial wedding reception. The combination of navy linen with garnet napkins matched the floral displays from Atmosphere’s and tied in throughout the personal touches made by the couple with table numbers, seating chart, and favors on each place setting.

Their dreamy celestial wedding night ended with a cell phone flashlight exit out the front doors of the historic Howey Mansion.

Congratulations to our newlyweds, Rachel & Weston, and thank you for choosing Anna Christine Events for your big day!

Without a doubt I would hire Christy and her team again. I was at total peace knowing she was in control! Thank you for helping making our wedding day a dream come true.

The day of the wedding, she made sure everything was taken care of, resulting in a stress-free day for everyone in the bridal party including the parents of the bride and groom. She ensured everything ran smoothly and according to the timeline and did an amazing job of getting everyone set up for our grand sparkler exit. We know our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without Christy's help, and we are so glad we hired her!

Christy is an incredible wedding planner! I loved her wedding day timeline. She organized all of my vendors, and made sure everything about the wedding day ran smoothly, on time and stress/worry free. I couldn't have even imagined my day would have turned out as perfect as it did. Thank you so much Christy! If you are even remotely considering hiring a planner to help you with part of or all of your wedding...DO IT! And pick Anna Christine Events, her and her sister Laura are THE BEST!

Christy was a fantastic wedding coordinator! I absolutely loved working with her. I was looking for a day of coordinator because I was already planning my wedding and really wanted someone to just take over for the last month. I chose the package where I could call/email her if I had any questions leading up to the wedding and it came in handy. The package was affordable and what we were looking for. When we spoke on the phone I instantly knew I wanted to book her because she has a very calm demeanor. I have spoken to other wedding planners and some of them were so high strung it was stressing me out just talking to them! I passed off everything to her month of and everything went off without a hitch. Anytime we needed anything during the wedding she was right there waiting for us and willing to help. I can’t recommend her enough!

There are not enough words to express our gratitude towards Christy! She is beyond amazing and was made to be a wedding coordinator! Her ability to adapt and come up with solutions that make everyone happy is a true gift. She was my therapist and knew exactly how to decrease my stress and anxiety. Christy and her sister Laura truly made our day magical and allowed us to enjoy it!

I cannot say enough good things about Christy, Laura, and their team. We had some challenges at our wedding (guests, weather, etc) and they handled it all like champs and kept the party going. I had day of services and felt comfortable handing everything over and knowing it was in good hands. I'm grateful they were there and I would recommend them to anyone.

We had the pleasure of having Laura as our Day Of Coordinator for our wedding at Casa Feliz. Laura knows her stuff, not to mention this venue. She's BEYOND sweet and always looking out for the bride and groom on their day. If something needed to be changed around, it was always a smooth transition. There is not a single issue we can think of that happened on the wedding day, nor during the wedding planning process. Laura kept in contact with every single vendor, not to mention a last minute vendor we brought on board less than a week from the wedding day. EVERYTHING was perfect, we will never forget this day! I highly recommend both Laura and Christy they are fantastic ladies!

Christy was amazing from start to finish. We brought on a planner part way through planning and she geared us in the right direction from the start. She listened and understood our vision. She worked to make the wedding exactly what we wanted. And even when we hit a snag with our venue, Christy guided us through what would have been a super stressful time, to the perfect event.
