Victoria & Armando’s wedding was a celebration rooted in sacred moments, rich tradition, and the unmistakable warmth of the holiday season. Set against a winter-inspired backdrop, their day felt intimate, reverent, and deeply personal—a reflection of who they are and what they value most.

A Ceremony of Deep Meaning

One of the most profound moments of the day unfolded during their Catholic ceremony. Victoria & Armando were blessed to be married in their faith at their venue—something rare within their religion—and shared the Eucharist with one another just moments before becoming husband and wife. This sacred act was a powerful expression of devotion, unity, and spiritual foundation.

Adding to the reverence of the moment was a live string quartet by Four Bridges String Quartet, whose classical arrangements filled the space with emotion and grace.

Honoring Culture & Family

Following the ceremony, the celebration shifted seamlessly into a reception that honored Armando’s Mexican heritage in meaningful ways. Mariachi music filled the space, bringing energy and tradition to the evening. Guests gathered not just to celebrate, but to truly connect—through music, shared memories, and heartfelt moments.

Some of the most touching highlights came through family traditions: an emotional father-daughter dance that meant the world to Victoria, and a quiet, cherished moment between Armando and his father, sharing a cigarette.

These moments, small yet powerful, were reminders that weddings aren’t just about the couple—but about the families and stories that shape them.

Style That Felt Timeless

Victoria embodied effortless elegance in her gown from Ella Blu. Her look felt classic yet modern, perfectly complementing the refined winter aesthetic of the day.

The reception space beautifully blended holiday warmth with timeless design. A classic holiday tablescape layered with glowing candlelight and lush white florals by Debbie’s Bloomers created an intimate winter mood—romantic, serene, and elegant. Adding a festive finishing touch was a statement cake by Chantilly Cakes, adorned with a soft bow detail that felt romantic and perfectly of the season.

Capturing Every Quiet Moment

Throughout the day, Stephane Lemaire Photography captured every sacred exchange, emotional glance, and fleeting in-between moment with incredible care and artistry. Victoria & Armando shared that Stephane was not only their favorite vendor, but a true blessing—his energy unmatched, his talent undeniable, and his dedication evident in every frame.

Thoughtful Planning, Seamless Flow

Behind the scenes, Three Sisters & Co. brought the couple’s vision to life with care and intention. From the ceremony to the evening’s celebrations, their thoughtful planning ensured the day flowed effortlessly—allowing Victoria & Armando to remain fully present and grounded in each meaningful moment.

A Moment Just for Them

As the night drew to a close and guests lined up for the snow exit, Victoria & Armando slipped away for one final moment together.

“My favorite memory was our private last dance while guests lined up for the snow exit. We danced to Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra—it was intimate, magical, and completely ours.”
