A Garden Wedding Dream: Alexis and Skyler Branscomb’s Celebration at the Loggia 

Alexis and Skyler’s relationship blossomed quickly, with both realizing they were in love just a few months into dating. “We just wanted to continue spending time together and started to love all the fun aspects of one another,” Alexis shared. A year later, Skyler proposed in a moment Alexis described as “perfect and surreal.” 

As someone who works in the jewelry industry, Alexis cherished designing her own engagement ring, making the proposal even more special. When it came to planning their wedding, Alexis was excited to bring her dream day to life, though she admits it felt daunting at first. 

Thanksgiving Point’s stunning gardens drew Alexis to choose it as her wedding venue. Having attended other weddings there, she knew it offered the outdoor garden vibe she had always envisioned. 

“We went with the Loggia Gardens because I loved the tent with the lights, the arches, and the beautiful gardens,” Alexis explained. “It had everything I was looking for.” The romantic charm of the Loggia made it the ideal backdrop for their special day.

Planning a wedding involves countless details, but Thanksgiving Point’s experienced wedding planners made the process smooth and stress-free. 

“They were great at walking me through all the options for the day—from the ceremony to the reception and dinner,” Alexis said. From table arrangements to linens, the planners handled every aspect, ensuring Alexis could focus on the joy of the day. 

“I really loved that they had everything I needed—linens, food, chairs, and tables—so I didn’t have to coordinate with so many different vendors,” she added. Using her own baker and florist, it was also easy to coordinate with the venue’s services.
