Tell us about a memorable story from a recent event.
We’ve seen plenty of creative wedding moments, but one that we still talk about involved a bride who had worked at Halloween Horror Nights. When it came time to cut the cake, she surprised everyone by swapping the traditional cake knife for a chainsaw. Their guests loved it, the photos were incredible, and it was a perfect reminder that the most memorable weddings are the ones that celebrate what makes each couple uniquely themselves!
Best piece of advice for couples planning a wedding.
Your wedding day is a celebration of your unique love story. While the details help set the stage, it’s the genuine moments with family and friends that make the biggest impact. Trust your team, embrace the unexpected, and enjoy every moment in the spotlight. Those are the memories that will stay with you long after the music fades.

Robyn was absolutely amazing and made planning my wedding easy and enjoyable! She was there with me through every step of the process and kept us calm and on track. I am so thankful to have been able to work with her and can\’t say enough good things about her and the rest of the team! Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and the whole day was amazing! The food was excellent and the room looked absolutely beautiful. I am so thankful to have had my dream of being married at the Dr.
Phillips Center come true!
