Elegant simplicity is a beautiful description of any event especially an intimate family wedding. Recently Michele Butler Events had the honor of working with Hillary and Robert on their wedding at The Courtyard at Lake Lucerne. Using the color combination of white and green with pops of extravagance like peacock feathers was a perfect accent to the natural beauty of their outdoor event. The Courtyard at Lake Lucerne has such a rich history and beautiful landscape that simple décor can really make the venue shine. The wedding was stunning in all of its simplicity and we hope that their marriage be truly blessed.

From the bride:
What was your favorite detail from your wedding? The way the lighting, décor, and furniture all come together perfectly to create the feeling that we were in an elegant garden retreat.
What was your favorite part of the planning process? When it was over, haha! Going dress shopping in New York City! Also enjoyed working with Michele, she helped to keep me focused and on task for what needed to be done and when. Her in depth knowledge of all available resources saved us so much time and frustration, she was able to direct us to exactly what we needed.
Working with you was a pleasure, and I didn’t realize how much I really needed you until you pulled out all the schedules, spreadsheets and checklists. The level of detail and professionalism went way beyond our expectations!

My life as an Orlando and Central Florida wedding planner has taught me many things: I know hurricane clauses in contracts like the back of my hand. One sip can tell me if a certain wine is too bold or just right for a large guest list. And… I’ve seen how self-care is of utmost […]

“I cannot choose the best part of my wedding day. Every time I thought it was the best part, something else came along! I think what I will remember most is the joy that my guests and I felt over this truly magical day we had. Everything was perfect.” – Chelsey Working with Chelsey and […]
They’re attached to their phone – and in particular, social media. It’s no wonder in this new era of the internet at our fingertips. They can see who is doing what, where, and with whom. And it all looks…perfect. So it’s not a surprise that if they have a birthday coming up, they secretly (or […]
