Choosing a venue was an easy decision for Kristin and Matthew, as Kristin had dreamed of a wedding at The Pfister Hotel since she was a little girl. With her aunt having worked at the hotel for years, the landmark became the backdrop for a lifetime of memories—from elegant galas and relaxing retreats at WELL Spa to welcoming loved ones through its historic doors. For Kristin, there was no more meaningful place to begin her next chapter with Matthew. The Pfister perfectly balanced sentimental value with modern luxury, offering the expansive layout needed for a large live band, a sophisticated cocktail hour, and the convenience of luxurious guest accommodations just steps away.
Kristin got ready surrounded by her girls, mother, and mother-in-law making for a special morning. Matt enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere with his friends to help ease the anticipation of the big day.
The couple shared a quiet, private moment just before the ceremony began by holding hands back to back. Easing nerves without spoiling surprise as they chose to wait to see each other for the very first time at the aisle.
Matthew honored his Scottish heritage during the celebration by changing into his family's tartan kilt. This meaningful detail served as a special way to thank the family who had flown in from Europe to celebrate.
The atmosphere at The Pfister Hotel was nothing short of magic as Kristin and Matthew celebrated their marriage in the iconic Imperial Ballroom. Their ceremony was bathed in natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and adorned by beautiful white roses. The bright, airy light played off the ballroom’s historic gold accents, creating an ethereal backdrop as the couple exchanged their vows among the hotel’s timeless architecture.
The celebration transitioned seamlessly into a sophisticated cocktail hour, leading into an evening filled with heartfelt toasts and the cutting of their magnificent five-tier cake. A highlight of the night came when Kristin’s lifelong dream finally turned into reality: standing on the iconic balcony overlooking the Imperial Ballroom with her husband. The couple’s vision for a grand, high-energy party took center stage as a large live band kicked off the festivities for a night of dancing, elegance, and joy.
"First, breathe...and take it all in. The day goes by faster than you can even imagine. When you sit down at your head table take a moment to look around and see all your loved ones who have traveled all over just to be there for the two of you. It truly is a feeling I cannot even describe! Second, don't leave your husband's side all night. It is easy to get separated from all the guests there wanting to speak to you, but stick together! The day goes by way too fast to separate. Third and most important- don't forget to eat all the amazing Pfister food you picked out (The Mac and Cheese bar doesn't disappoint!)" - Kristin & Matthew
