Ana + Spencer had a beautiful, colorful wedding at The Luminare in Minneapolis, Minnesota!

The Engagement

Ana and Spencer always take turns planning date nights, and it was his turn! Spencer told Ana they were going to have a picnic at a surprise location and then have a nice dinner. He showed up with flowers and that made her suspicious… Once they were at the picnic location, Ana immediately recognized the spot her dad would take her as a little girl to eat McDonalds Happy Meals and ice cream cones. It’s a small hill that has an overlook of the downtown Minneapolis skyline. Spencer guided her to the picnic spot where he had a mutual friend go ahead of time to set it up.

There was a blanket, white roses all around, pillows, more flowers and champagne. Ana froze and couldn’t move! Spencer got down on one knee and the rest is history 🙂

The Venue

The Luminare is a newer venue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It’s one of the few venues that has an open catering policy and they also have a BYOB policy! The Luminare is zero waste and is a sustainably focused venue. It’s a large venue that can accommodate up to 525 guests. While a large space, it can be partitioned off to not feel so large for smaller events! They have a gorgeous courtyard area which is great for photos or just taking a breather during the day!

The Wedding

Ana and Spencer wanted a fun, modern, whimsical wedding. They love pastels and incorporated those throughout their wedding design and florals. The Luminare was perfect venue for them as it’s a blank slate to be used for many different themes and designs! They wanted to incorporate special moments throughout the day together and to do things a little more non-traditional. They got married at the Holy Cross Church and their reception was held afterwards at the Luminare!

Our Services

Ana & Spencer were looking for a coordinator who is a type-A, no BS, wedding-day bestie. They wanted someone to keep everyone on schedule, triage any issues, and someone to look out for them and be the main contact throughout the day. They went with our wedding management package where we started working with them a few months prior to their wedding day to craft a timeline, contact vendors, and go over allllll the details of the wedding day including set up + tear down plan!

We absolutely LOVED being apart of Ana & Spencer’s wedding at the Luminare – we are so honored to have been apart of their special day!

“I am a wedding florist, and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Hanna as a coordinator. She was so organized and kept communication open during the whole process. On top of being so professional, she is the sweetest person! Highly recommend to all brides:)”

“SO grateful we hired HME for our wedding day management! She and her team were an extremely valuable asset to our day. Some of the most helpful things she/they brought to the table were taking over vendor communications near the wedding, setting up & tearing down all decor (we had a lot), and running the show with our vendors throughout the wedding reception (our ceremony was off-site at a church). A very thoughtful thing was that she had a little plates of appetizers and a drink ready for us as soon as we walked into cocktail hour (otherwise we probably wouldn’t have taken the time to grab them ourselves), and she captured content for us to view the next day! She helped make our vision come to life and made sure everything was done behind the scenes and that was a huge weight off our shoulders. We definitely do not regret including her in our budget, the day would’ve been so stressful without HME!”
