Intimate celebrations are having a beautiful moment — and it’s easy to see why. Couples are embracing the idea of gathering their closest friends and family for meaningful, memory-filled evenings that feel both elevated and deeply personal. Sarah and Dillon’s wedding at Van Dusen Mansion was the perfect example of this modern romance.
After a timeless ceremony at the University of St. Thomas Chapel, the newlyweds returned to the mansion for an unforgettable courtyard reception. Through the gates of Van Dusen Mansion awaited a stunning sight — one long harvest table, set beneath the lights and ready to welcome all of Sarah and Dillon’s favorite people.
Designed by the talented team at Style-Architects, every detail reflected effortless sophistication — from the lush tablescape décor to the ambient lighting that made the entire space glow as the sun set. The courtyard’s brick charm and warm atmosphere created an unforgettable backdrop for celebration and connection.
