Claire & Glenn

Back to index

Claire and Glenn hoped for a celebration that felt welcoming, timeless, and entirely their own. From the moment guests stepped into the gardens of the historic Duke Mansion, there was a quiet sense of ease—like being invited into something tender and meaningful.

Their ceremony took place on the lawn, where a soft breeze moved through the trees and the mansion’s white columns stood gracefully behind them. Claire walked through the garden in a custom Danielle Frankel gown, understated and beautiful in its simplicity. Glenn wore a classic suit—elegant, but never too formal. Their vows were honest and heartfelt, and the space around them held both laughter and tears.

Dinner was served on the terrace under the open sky. Long linen-covered tables, taper candles flickering in the early evening light, and seasonal flowers gathered loosely at the center. It felt more like a dinner party among close friends than a wedding—just as they had hoped. There were toasts filled with love, the sound of glasses clinking, and the kind of conversations that linger.

As the light faded and the stars began to appear, the evening gently gave way to dancing on the lawn beneath string lights, the hum of a jazz trio carrying into the night.
