Classic, elegant, timeless, and a touch of vintage!

Lisa grew up locally in St Pete, but moved to New York six years ago. Lisa and Garrett met each other on June 18, 2018 in NYC at a bar on a cold rainy weekday night. Garrett thought that Lisa was out of his league, which is probably still true, but was pleasantly surprised when Lisa said yes to a second date. For their second date they spent the afternoon in Central Park, including at Tavern on the Green and the Plaza Hotel, before going to one of Lisa’s favorite Upper East Side bars.

Garrett proposed in the middle of COVID during quarantine (4/28/2020) on her birthday in the outside space (a small garden) of their NYC apartment. Garrett and Lisa were hosting Lisa’s hometown friend and bridesmaid, a traveling nurse, at their apartment for several months while she worked in the city. Garrett took Lisa on a long walk through Union Square while Lisa’s friend decorated the garden in our backyard. After they walked into the apartment complex, red rose pedals led to the blooming cherry blossom tree outside where Garrett proposed – on Lisa’s 30th birthday.

Together they love to travel and explore cool neighborhoods in remote locations. Some of their favorites include: Boca Grande, FL; Vail, CO; and Washington, D.C. In Colorado, they love to spend time outside – in the summer hiking near the Snake River in Summit County and in the winter on the slopes with their Epic Passes. They also love exploring restaurants in the East Village in NYC.

The historic Vinoy in downtown St Pete set the stage perfectly for their classic, elegant, timeless wedding day, with touch a vintage accents. They were really excited about the venue and the opportunity to be with their friends and family in a variety of locations at the Vinoy – the tea garden, the mezzanine, and the ballroom.

The most memorable moments of the wedding day included Travis officiating, Paul’s speech, and dancing with guests. At the end of the evening everyone was tired but so happy from hard partying! Their wedding was a family- and friends-oriented affair where they celebrated both the beginning of our lives together as well as the opportunity to see many people for the first time after more than a year of COVID.
