Palm Event Center | Kenny and Darby

Today, we’re providing a glimpse into a gorgeous Palm Event Center wedding that swept us off our feet. Kenny and Darby’s celebration perfectly blends rustic, industrial, and chic elements, and we can’t wait to show you the results!

With a sweeping view of the vineyard and hills, the couple shares a sweet moment under a tree.

The bride and bridesmaids are all smiles for this candid shot. We love how bridesmaids’ bouquets match their purple dresses and contrast the bride’s bright red flowers. Simply stunning. 

The couple poses with their bridesmaids and groomsmen for a formal photo op. The brick exterior and arched windows offer a modern touch to the backdrop. 

Let’s take a moment to appreciate this breathtaking reception hall! From the floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains and wine barrels to the white rose petals and candles lining the walkway, the details left us speechless. 

Kenny and Darby share their first kiss after the vows. The classic chandeliers complete this magical moment. 

As we move to the reception party, the sparkling lights and Edison bulbs give the space a warm ambiance. And the simplistic floral centerpieces featuring silver dollar leaves, pastels, and rich red roses also catch our eyes.  

Check out the sweetheart table, exuding luxury as the bouquet spills over the edge. The unique light fixtures provide a chic look, which blends well with the wine barrels in the background.

Let’s raise a toast to this stunning couple. Congratulations, Kenny and Darby! We hope you enjoy years of laughter and adventure. 

A special thank you to our creative partners who made this Palm Event Center wedding so magical.
