What Makes You A FLE Couple?

One

You're Easy Going + Cheerful

While the wedding day is incredibly important, your main goal is marriage. As long as you walk down the aisle, it can be downpouring outside, flights can get canceled, the flower girl can be wearing no shoes…. but that’s okay, two will become one!

Two

You're into coffee dates

We’re pretty casual over here, and love a good latte. Let’s plan your wedding in a cool coffee shop in town!

Three

You Care About Ambience

Guest comfort is of ultimate importance to you. The day is not just about you, it is also about all who come together to celebrate! The vibe, the atmosphere, the feel – whatever you want to call it, you love the idea of creating special moments to share with your loved ones.

Four

Cats and dogs are your kind of people

We may love people a lot, but our little buddies are high on the list. Enough said!

You deserve an unforgettable day with the ones you love the most

Let us help you throw an amazing celebration – without the stress that usually comes with it!
