A Fall Jewish Wedding at Four Seasons Austin

Jessica and Jeff celebrated their September wedding at Four Seasons Austin with a weekend that felt personal, polished, and very much their own. Austin was an especially meaningful place to marry. It is where they first met, where they eventually ended three years of long distance, and where they made their home together.

Megan Bronner of Pearl Events Austin planned the celebration, with Stems Floral and Townsley Designs creating a setting of rich greenery, mirrored details, green velvet draping, and a clear acrylic chuppah. Before the ceremony, Jessica and Jeff gathered with family for their ketubah signing. Later, guests joined them for the breaking of the glass, a challah blessing, and a very enthusiastic Hora.

The reception had plenty of personality too. Jessica and Jeff danced to Leon Bridges’ “Coming Home,” their fellow Longhorns gathered for a giant Hook ’em photo, and late-night watermelon margarita popsicles and grilled cheese with tomato soup made their way onto the dance floor. They ended the night with a private last dance before heading upstairs through a ribbon-wand send-off.
