Almost a year before their wedding day, I met Chrizanna and Michael at a local Mexican restaurant. There, we talked through their plans and vision. Over chips and salsa, Chrizanna shared her dream for a wedding that felt like it came straight out of a romance film. Naturally, The Gardens of Cranesbury View was the perfect venue for the romantic wedding they were imagining. It was something timeless, poetic, and full of feeling. They wanted a day that was romantic, moody, and deeply intentional. Above all, every detail needed to add to the emotional atmosphere rather than distract from it.

Fast forward to their wedding day, and her vision came to life beautifully. This was thanks in large part to her mom’s creativity and eye for detail. From handcrafted décor to thoughtful personal touches, everything felt intentional and romantic — just as they had imagined. In the end, it was a true labor of love. Every element reflected not just their style, but their story.

Her favorite moment? “as cliche as it may seem, it would definitely have to be when I was walking down the aisle..It definitely felt like all the romance movies I grew up watching where everyone disappears and it was just us.. all of the details just came together and seeing his reaction and the look on his eyes was all that I could ever dream of.”

When asked what made the day truly special, she adds, “What made our day so special to us was being surrounded by all of the love and true happiness from our guests. We definitely felt the genuine warmth and love from everyone and it just filled our hearts even more knowing how supported we are from the people we love and care for.”

If you’re planning your wedding and dreaming of something heartfelt, personal, and timeless, then let Michael and Chrizanna’s day be your inspiration. Truly, their celebration is a beautiful reminder that with intention, love, and a little creativity, your wedding can feel just like the romance movie you’ve always imagined.
