The forecast called for blue skies on Nick and Nadia’s JW Marriott Las Vegas wedding day. The joy of the day was palpable, full of heartfelt prayer, joyful tears, and the sweetest moments between family and friends. The vision for their reception was classically beautiful and the JW Marriott was the perfect venue for bringing that vision to life.
From start to finish, their wedding day was incredibly smooth. While the beginning part of the day can often feel hustled, Nick and Nadia’s start felt calm and intimate. There were moments of pause to share thoughtful gifts and come together in thankful prayer. The Orthodox Christian wedding ceremony is always so meaningful and steeped in tradition. Their reception was a true Middle Eastern celebration, featuring cold sparks for their grand entrance, first dance, and cake cutting. They also had multiple tabl (middle eastern drums) making for the most vibrant entrance and irresistible invitation to the dance floor. With the help of an incredible team of vendors, their day turned out perfectly and I am excited to feature more on the blog today!
