Take a Peek Inside
A Celebration Worth Remembering
Held on October 11, 2025, at the breathtaking Chateau Nouvelle, Halla and Mark’s wedding was filled with romance, personal touches, and a little extra magic! With its stunning architecture, beautifully landscaped grounds, and elegant indoor and outdoor spaces, this Houston wedding venue provided the dreamiest backdrop for their celebration.
With the help of Two Be Wed, the couple brought their vision to life with gorgeous florals, a dramatic ceremony setup by Elevated AV Production, LLC, and a fairytale-worthy horse-drawn carriage entrance. One of the most memorable moments? Their grand reception re-entrance alongside a traditional Lebanese Dabke dance team, honoring Halla’s heritage and bringing incredible energy to the celebration!
The thoughtful details continued with interactive guest experiences from 360 Events Photo Booth, including a Glam Bot, roaming photography, and photo booth fun. Every unforgettable moment was beautifully captured by Erika Geier Photography.
When asked what she learned from planning her wedding, Halla shared a sentiment we couldn’t agree with more:
“The difference between a good wedding and a great wedding is found in the details.”
Cheers to Our Wedding of the Year!
