Wedding Planning: Forest Hall October 2024

Some love stories begin with a spark, but Briana and Jared’s began with a burger. From that first casual meeting over a shared love of good food, their journey eventually led to a beautiful October wedding at Forest Hall at Chatham Mills—an especially meaningful venue, as it’s where Premier Party Planners’ own Tara Ruffier was married herself in 2019. Tara had the honor of planning Briana and Jared’s celebration, bringing her personal connection and expert touch to every detail.

Muted Romance + Fall Charm

Briana envisioned a romantic fall setting with muted tones, and the day delivered just that. Soft blush tones paired with rich hints of burgundy created an elegant and cozy atmosphere perfect for an autumn wedding. From the floral arrangements to the bridal party’s attire, every element captured that dreamy seasonal vibe.

Personal Touches + Private Moments

Instead of a traditional first look, the couple shared a heartfelt “first touch” and exchanged private vows before the ceremony—a moment filled with emotion and intimacy. Briana also surprised her bridesmaids, groomsmen, and a special group of friends with individual first looks, creating joyful memories before walking down the aisle.

In a playful nod to their origin story, each guest received a custom coaster featuring a burger design—an unexpected and delightful touch that celebrated the couple’s fun-loving side.

Dinner, Dancing + a Sparkling Goodbye

After a buffet dinner and sweet cake cutting, the dance floor came alive with celebration. Guests danced the night away until it was time for the couple’s sparkler send-off—a glowing finale to a day filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments.

Briana and Jared’s wedding was a beautiful blend of romance, fun, and personality—proving once again that when love is at the center, everything else falls perfectly into place.
