A Wedding Planned for a Lifetime | Chandler & Brandon | Aria, Minneapolis, MN
Chandler and Brandon had a wonderful and elegant wedding at Aria in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Chandler was planning her wedding since she was a little girl.
To see two people say these words is something else entirely when they’ve planned out not just a wedding day but 20 or 30 or 50 years together. Chandler and Brandon’s Aria wedding in Minneapolis, wasn’t just a beautiful wedding — it was the celebration of the love story that embraced laughter and growth and a fierce commitment.
The energy was electric from the start of the day. Held at Aria, which is one of Minneapolis’ most popular wedding venues, their space felt like the perfect combination of old world and modern. Complete with exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings and dramatic lighting, Aria offered a stunning backdrop for a love story that was just as timeless.
Chandler spent the morning with her besties as they gushed with love and excitement collectively. The room was filled with expectation, tears of joy and the type of laughter that emerges from friendships developed over a lifetime. Meanwhile, Brandon and his groomsmen had their own special moments — knotting ties, swapping stories and toasting to the future. Everything was considered, every moment was intentional.
It was an extremely touching ceremony to their life’s history together. As Chandler made her way toward the aisle, Brandon’s face said it all — this was the moment they had both envisioned. Their laughter-filled, felt-like-the-heart vows were full of humor and promise saying founded on IRL love. Tissues were abundant, tears flowed freely, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. With family and friends watching, and the flicker of candles only adding to the ethereal, soft light feel, Chandler and Brandon made it official — and memorable.
After the ceremony, Aria was reinvented to feel sophisticated while still soulful as a reception space. All the details — from the beautiful floral design, to the customizable decor — were true to Chandler and Brandon’s style and relationship. The first dance was a tearjerker of tenderness and exuberance, and set the stage for an evening of celebratory fun.
But what really made the night feel magical wasn’t the picturesque venue, the thoughtfully curated details or the immaculate flowers: it was the people.
