Brigham & Co beautifully captured our engagement photos and will spend the day with us on June 22nd.. Jess  is so much fun to be around and makes you feel so at ease in front of her camera. She had us laughing so much!

John and his band of talented musicians will be setting the tone for an evening of fun! From his acoustic music at our ceremony to the DJ mixes at the end of the night, they can do it all and will keep the party going!

Our friends, Michelle and Rick Torres of Harborview Market will be making sure our guests have happy tummies! They are by far our go-to for all personal and work events...everything they make is fresh, unique and delicious!

Renata of Lovely Cakes in Stratford will be providing our sweet centerpiece for our special day. She and her team have competed and won Cakes Wars on the Food Network! So happy to have someone so talented, so close to us!

The Pantry is our local go-to for groceries, prepared foods and of course...desserts! Every Panarese / Spooner party usually has a cake or pie from The Pantry when celebrating any occasion. They use real ingredients...no shortening or mixes.

Wines and More is providing the spirits for the day! Our friend, Jeff Wilson has created a one-stop shop with fun events for all your libation needs. Visit him in Milford and tell him Christie and Grant sent you!

We will never be as cool as our friend, Corey. His talent and experience in the world of fashion and interior design is extensive and amazing. We are so very lucky to have him help us on our big day!

It’s good to have connections.  Oh, wait! We are the connection.  All decorative elements (tables, seating, decorative accents) hail from our very own Black Rock Interiors (BRG’s showroom)!

Most of our rentals (clear top tent, dance floor, dinnerware, lighting) comes from Abbey Tent & Party Rentals. 

The restrooms are courtesy of
White Glove Restrooms.

Brought to you by Anthropologie, BHLDN has created a look for the bride that seeks the unique, fun and whimsical. Christie "said yes to the dress", one hour into dress shopping!

From the oldest men's clothier in the US, Grant's suit is classic with a modern cut. Brooks Brothers is his favorite place to shop and he was happy to find his wedding day duds there.

All the blooms for our girls were sourced from East Coast Flowers of Norwalk. These are some of the loveliest, most fragrant flowers we’ve seen in a long time. Perfect for summertime bling!
