Currean Restaurant, the women-owned eatery in downtown Greenville, paired light dishes to a wine list that ran from a Burgundian crémant to Brunello to Cain Five. The evening’s sommelier, walked the table through each pour with a magnetic ease. Deanna Rogers of Deanna Rogers Designs prepared the stunning flower arrangements.

Tiffany chose to set her grandmother’s china, and the whole evening became, in that gesture, an heirloom. It is such a pleasure working with them.

On arrival the first thing we laid eyes on was the Angel towering over the garden, and in that moment I was certain the entire evening would be lovely no matter what.

Our hosts are the reason the room is full of love at the start, and I am simply honored to elaborate.

“You transformed our vision into a truly special celebration. Every detail, from the ambiance to the impeccable flow of the evening, reflected your artistry and thoughtfulness. The warm laughter, sparkling conversation, and the elegant glow of candlelight all came together to create memories we will treasure.”
