February 21, 2026 // Ceremony and Reception at The Locale
Inspired by a winter wonderland, Shantera and Corey’s wedding day was nothing short of unforgettable. The Locale was decorated with rich navy, champagne and gold and soft drapery, creating an atmosphere of elegance and romance. The bride, adorned in a strapless gown, crystal hairpin and cathedral veil, walked down the aisle to meet her groom. Their vows were witnessed by a crowd of their family and friends, who all cheered at the newlyweds’ secondline entrance into the reception.
Interactive elements, such as a caricature artist, magazine photobooth, custom signs and an audio guestbook, were unique highlights paired with the food, drinks, cake and dancing and created meaningful keepsakes and memories. The rest of the night was spent dancing and celebrating among family and friends, creating a night of love and laughter for the couple to enjoy for years to come.
