The couple, known for hosting elaborate parties and get-togethers at their home, envisioned their wedding as an elevated version of one of their festive gatherings. Paige shared, “We wanted the night to be elegant/fancy without being stuffy. Festive without being Christmas-themed. And a night full of great food, laughter, music, dancing, and other surprise entertainment.”

Carondelet House stood out as the perfect venue for Paige and David. They sought an intimate setting, steering away from traditional hotel ballrooms. The historic charm of Carondelet House, once a residence, aligned perfectly with their vision of a fancy dinner party. The in-house caterer, Tres LA, with its award-winning reputation, sealed the deal for the couple.

Drawing inspiration from the historic house venue and their love for travel, Paige and David infused their wedding with an old-world charm. The Nutcracker’s opening party scene in Act I served as a visual inspiration, and they aimed for an atmosphere that was elegant, old-world, festive, and cozy. Candles, festive greenery, vintage postcard-themed invitations, and travel-inspired details added to the overall ambiance.

Paige and David incorporated several meaningful touches into their wedding day, from wrapping Paige’s bouquet in lace from her mother’s dress to wearing her grandmother’s earrings. Vintage postcard table numbers, custom-named drinks, a unique guest book alternative, and chocolates from David’s family’s chocolate factory in Mexico added personal touches to the celebration.

Paige and David’s wedding at Carondelet House was a perfect blend of elegance, sentimentality, and festive celebration.
