From the Alter
To the Garden
Faith & Co Events provided day-of coordination for M&S's late-summer celebration in Washington, DC. The day moved from a timeless ceremony at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church to an evening at St. Francis Hall, where the monastery gardens did half the decorating on their own. With two venues, a shuttle schedule, and a vendor team spread across the city, our job was simple: make a logistically full day feel completely effortless for the couple living it.
the prep.
A steady morning, a schedule quietly humming.
While Cloud & Rae Studio handled hair and makeup, our team was running the invisible side of the day: confirming vendors at two venues, checking the CharterUp shuttle timing, and making sure everyone knew exactly where to be and when.
M&S never had to think about any of it, which is precisely the point.
the ceremony.
Sacred, traditional, and straight from the heart.
At St. Anthony of Padua, surrounded by family and the beauty of a traditional Catholic ceremony, M&S exchanged their vows. It was reverent and joyful in equal measure, and the kind of ceremony that reminds everyone in the room why they came.
the reception.
Garden air, good food, and a floor that filled fast.
St. Francis Hall gave the evening its glow, with Eat & Smile Catering serving dinner and Growing Wild Floral's arrangements carrying the late-summer palette through the room.
True to themselves, M&S wove Irish and Peruvian music into the celebration, and one of our favorite details was also the most playful: custom stickers by Amanda Jane Bienko, a little piece of the couple their guests could take home.
Once The Dapper DJs took over, the dance floor handled the rest.

The team behind the celebration.
M&S had created a wedding full of personality, meaningful traditions, and thoughtful details. Our job was to make sure all of those pieces came together exactly when and where they were supposed to.
We're grateful for the vendor team who worked alongside us to bring their plans to life and create a celebration that moved seamlessly from ceremony to candlelight to one very busy dance floor.
