Editor's Choice Winner for Best Event Design 2026

When a venue owner gets married—you know it’s going to be exceptional. Kate, owner of St. James 1868 worked with Morgan Liddell Events to craft a wedding day that was bursting with fragrant florals, chic details and sprinkles of whimsy.

Kate and Neil’s festivities began with a vibrant Indian ceremony honoring the groom’s heritage, followed by a classic American ceremony and reception. Every element of the ceremonies showcased opulent grandeur and dreamy refinement.

Romantic details were at every turn and beautifully meshed with the grand architecture of the venue to portray a sense of regalness. The black-and-white dance floor complemented the black bows at each place setting, and the black- rimmed chairs. 

As a sweet addition, a “Paris Cafe” was designed to feature Parisian desserts and espresso martinis for guests. From the elegant flatlay to the lively party with pink uplighting, every finely curated detail harmoniously came together to produce a showstopping design.
