Katy and Max live an exciting life, to say the least. She’s a model and he’s a professional rugby player in France, where the couple resides, and they are frequently jet-setting around the world. But when it came time to decide where they would get married to start their greatest adventure yet, Katy’s roots in the Midwest (she grew up in Iowa) brought them to the Mayowood Stone Barn.
Katy impressively planned everything from France, enlisting my help for coordination to help pull everything together. Just over 100 guests flew into Rochester from around the world (Max is originally from South Africa and his family resides in Spain, not to mention their friends from everywhere from LA to Iowa to Scotland). The day was beautiful, intimate and FUN! Thanks to all of the vendors who helped their dreams come to life!
