Okay, let’s just say it—Alexa and Connor’s summer wedding at Saint John’s Resort was a total vibe. It had the style, the energy, and the kind of personal touches that made it feel so them. From the custom details to a packed dance floor, it was one of those weddings where you just knew everyone was going to have the best time.
These two go way back—high school sweethearts who made it through Grand Valley, post-grad life, and a move to Florida. Connor proposed during sunset in Key West (yes, actual sunset proposal energy) at Fort Zachary Taylor in January 2022. Casual. Perfect.
Alexa had a clear vision for the day: timeless, elegant, clean, and modern—but with a little personality and playfulness woven in. Think: black, white, and gold as a base, with all-white florals for the Catholic ceremony and pastel blooms for the party later. That color flip made it feel like two weddings in one, and Saint John’s Resort was the perfect backdrop for both.
And let’s talk details. Alexa nailed them. Guests loved the fun fact cocktail napkins (honestly, who doesn’t love a little trivia with their champagne?) and the photo boards were such a sweet, nostalgic touch. She even gave her mom and grandma hand-painted portraits that morning—such a thoughtful way to kick off the day.
But let’s get to the reception, because THAT is where things really took off. Alexa knew her crew was there to party, and DJ Richard from Michael’s Entertainment totally understood the assignment. The playlist? Immaculate. The energy? Through the roof. That dance floor did not stop. It was one of those nights where everyone danced like nobody was watching (except, of course, the photographer—thankfully).
Later in the night, Alexa switched into a glam evening dress from Nadine Merabi (hellooo shimmer!) and rejoined the celebration with full main character energy. Champagne was flowing, shoes were off, and no one wanted it to end.
If you’re dreaming of a day that’s equal parts meaningful and unforgettable—with gorgeous design, amazing music, and your people all in one place—this Saint John’s Resort summer wedding is your inspiration board come to life.
