Raise a toast and toss the confetti—we’ve officially closed the curtain on our dazzling 2024 wedding season! With an incredible 65 celebrations of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments, this year was nothing short of magical. From heartfelt vows to joyful cake-cutting, each wedding added a unique chapter to an extraordinary collective love story. As we bid farewell to this amazing season, we’re filled with gratitude for every couple who entrusted us with their big day.

At the end of each year, our team comes together and each votes to nominate their favorites of the year. We then tally those scores to reveal our Top 10 Weddings of the Season. With so many stunning celebrations to choose from, the decision was anything but easy, and there was only a 1 point difference from our # 1 & # 2 events so it was a close race — but after thoughtful deliberation, we’re thrilled to share our Top 10 Weddings of 2024!

However, with so many incredible moments to reflect on, we’ll admit—when it came to voting this year, we may have been a little biased. Naturally, our top wedding was our very own Bri and Justin’s stunning day.

We typically reserve this roundup for our top 10 weddings but every now and then an event comes along that’s too special not to mention. This year we had the honor of planning a baby shower and sex reveal in Malibu, CA for Jesse Sullivan & Francesca Fargo’s twins Poetry & Lockett!
