Sami and Max’s Wedding at Walker Homestead in Iowa City, Iowa

Multicolored May Wedding at Walker Homestead in Iowa City, Iowa

A Chance Meeting in Nashville

In Nashville, amidst the vibrant music and bustling streets, fate orchestrated an encounter that would change the lives of Max and Sami forever. Their love story began on a balmy May evening in 2021. Sami, embarking on a week-long visit to Nashville to spend time with her friend Taylor, had no idea that this trip would begin her greatest adventure. Fate had already set the stage for something extraordinary. Taylor, the orchestrator of this fateful meeting, had planned a night out with a group of girlfriends, unaware that Max was also out with friends across town, celebrating a birthday.

What began as a chance encounter became a beautiful journey of love, laughter, and shared dreams. Three years flew by in a whirlwind of cherished moments, heartfelt conversations, and unwavering support.

From Nashville to Iowa

Living in the vibrant city of Nashville, they dreamed of a picturesque wedding in the heart of Iowa. However, planning a destination wedding from afar presented its own set of challenges. That’s when they turned to Emily, the visionary owner of Soiree Wedding Planning, to bring their dream to life.

From their very first meeting, Max and Sami knew they had found the perfect partner in Emily. The couple decided on the Essentials Package. With Emily’s help, they all set out on a collaborative journey to craft a celebration that would not only reflect their love but also create lasting memories for their cherished guests.

Congratulations Sami & Max!
