Glowing Wedding at Walker Homestead in Iowa City, Iowa

A College Romance Turned Forever

Every love story has a beginning, and for Maddie and Justin, it all started in a college classroom. Sharing a class brought them together, and by the end of the semester, they were inseparable. Their journey from study partners to soulmates blossomed naturally, with each moment bringing them closer together.

When asked about the moment she knew Justin was “the one,” Maddie didn’t point to a specific event. Instead, she spoke of a feeling that grew over time. “I don’t remember there being a specific time, but I do remember thinking about the future and just knowing that I want to go through life with Justin and can’t imagine life without him,” she said. It was a sentiment that was shared by Justin, who felt the same as their relationship grew stronger.

A Perfectly Planned Day with Soirée

For Maddie and Justin, their love story began in college, and so did their journey with Soirée Wedding Planning. Maddie first heard about Soirée when Emily visited her Event Management class, and years later, when it was time to plan her own wedding, she knew exactly who to turn to. The couple chose the Essentials Package, trusting Emily and her team to bring their vision to life while ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience.

When asked what they felt were the top three things to make a wedding day a success, Maddie said, “Everything running smoothly (with minimal hiccups because something will be unplanned), minimal stress on the wedding day, and getting married!” With those priorities in mind, the Soirée team worked behind the scenes, managing every detail to keep things on track. From the rehearsal to the last dance, Maddie and Justin were able to relax and enjoy their day, knowing that everything was in expert hands.
