For the couple whose first date was a museum and whose apartment is full of books. We work with galleries, libraries, conservatories and immersive art spaces that open after hours, then build a short, sharp, beautiful evening inside them. Colour and architecture do all the heavy lifting, so the styling stays simple and the art stays the backdrop.
What it could include
The shape of the day.
- After-hours gallery, library or conservatory booking
- Institution rules, insurance and load-in coordination
- Ceremony placement scouted for the best room in the building
- Colour-led styling that works with the collection
- Evening portrait session through the galleries
- Cocktail-hour or seated-dinner flow inside the space
Everything above is a starting point, not a fixed package. Tess plans it and photographs it; you book the vendors she lines up, so you hold every contract.
The practical part
Where, when and roughly what.
- Ideal locationsVolunteer Park Conservatory, Seattle Asian Art Museum, Chihuly Garden, MoPOP, Central Library, Meow Wolf
- Ideal datesYear-round — the weather stops mattering
- Guest countTwo to 80, depending on the room
- Approximate investmentStarting at $6,800
Approximate investment covers planning and photography. Vendors, permits and travel are quoted in writing before anything is signed.
