It’s not all about the beautiful tablescape…
At Marian Frances Events, we love a gorgeous tablescape. We really do. There's something magical about bringing your personality to life by forming the perfect combination of menus, linens, and florals arranged with intention and care. We obsess over every detail -- from the design of the table numbers to the perfect shade of napkin -- because we know design matters.
But here's our truth: it's not really about the tablescape. It's about what the tablescape makes you feel.
Design isn’t just about creating a Pinterest-worthy setting or getting that swoon-worthy Instagram photo (though those are fun perks!). A well-designed space can shift the mood, set the tone, and enhance the entire experience of your wedding day. When your reception space feels warm, inviting, joyful, and uniquely you, it does more than just look good in the photos... it truly draws people in and creates an atmosphere for unforgettable memories.
And THAT is what is really important!
We believe that weddings are about connection and celebration. They're about laughter at a table shared with your favorite people. They're about heartfelt speeches, spontaneous dance moves, and that giddy feeling of “I can't believe I get to spend my life with you” as you look across the room at your new spouse. Those are the moments and feelings that will keep you reminiscing for years to come.
So while we will absolutely help you dream up a design plan that feels stunning, cohesive, and beautifully personal, we’ll never let those details become more important than the reason you’re here: to celebrate love, commitment, and the people who helped you get there.
Our job is to create the space. Your job is to soak it all in!
So yes, let’s talk florals and candles and linens and mood boards. Let’s create something unique and personal. But let’s also keep our hearts grounded in what really matters: you, your person, your people, and a day full of joy.
That feeling will last forever.
xo,
Marian
