Lauren and Gabe met, started dating, and live in sunny California. However when it came time to plan their wedding they immediately knew they would say " I do" at Lauren's family's beach home in Georgetown, South Carolina. Planned and designed by Host and Haven , Lauren was able to have the beachside wedding ceremony she had always dreamed of, combined with a beautiful backyard tented reception. Lauren's father surprised the couple by flying in world-renowned Senegalese artist Baaba Maal to perform "There Will Be Time," a song Lauren played on repeat after meeting Gabe. The couple and their guests danced the night away under the custom ceiling installation by Veil inspired by the local topography. To cap the night the couple had a unique bubble exit and shared an evening cruise on the river.

A Carolina monsoon ushered us into this wedding weekend. We dodged rain during photos and were delighted when we saw a break in the forecast. The planning team executed a bump in ceremony start time and our bride was able to have her outdoor ceremony.
