Villa Penna Sterling Heights | Lireanne + Anthony 8/28/21

Villa Penna in Sterling Heights was the venue that Lireanne and Anthony booked for their wedding celebration in August. 

Newlyweds Lireanne and Anthony contacted us after searching and landing on our site via Google. They wanted our help with wedding management, so they decided to hire us for our day-of-coordination service towards the end of May. Keep scrolling to check out their beautiful wedding made with lots of love!

Our team created a memory table to include their loved ones in heaven, featuring portraits, bright candles, and tall floral decor pieces. Also, we set up a station so that family and friends could sign their names on a wooden heart and drop it into a heart-shaped frame.
