Palm Event Center | Rebeka and Nick

Rebeka and Nick Portrait

Join us as we explore Rebeka and Nick’s cross-cultural celebration at Palm Event Center. The orange and gold color palette feels like an inviting hug, while the cultural details perfectly reflect the couple, their story, and their family traditions. 

Experience the magic of their special day with these unforgettable snapshots!

Rebeka and Nick

The bride’s vibrant lehenga is breathtaking, pairing beautifully with the warm color palette. We also love Nick’s matching sherwani. The change in formal attire to champagne-colored dresses and tuxes showcases the stunning blend of cultures and traditions.

As we enter the ceremony space, we see a rustic backdrop and mandapa, an altar for the couple to share their vows. Following the ceremony, the families pose for a formal portrait.

Palm Event Center has done it again–the reception space is stunning with a custom monogram, dazzling chandelier, and elegant floral arrangements. Take a seat at a guest table, and you’ll see a beautiful tablescape featuring a touch of greenery and a mini menu. 

Dancing is always a crowd favorite at weddings, but we also appreciate other interactive experiences, like living painting sessions. Check out this creative addition to Rebeka and Nick’s festivities!

What a lovely first dance beneath the crystal-beaded chandelier, followed by a heart-warming toast. We’re big fans of the classic Polaroid style!

It’s time for guests to break a move on the dance floor. The DJ knows how to get people up from their seats.
