A Starry Night Wedding with a Winter Charm
The winter season was the perfect time for Samantha and David’s George Peabody Library wedding. The couple fully embraced the season, with cozy vibes and a touch of magic in the air. The celestial theme blended seamlessly with the winter atmosphere, creating a celebration that was full of warmth, wonder, and joy.
On the wedding day, the couple’s excitement was contagious, and their vision of a “starry night” theme became a reality. The wedding included a magical floral backdrop for the photo booth (a unique touch before it became a popular trend!), and lights were strategically placed to add to the ethereal atmosphere of the day. The venue’s indoor space was perfect for creating a warm and welcoming environment, while the starry theme brought an added layer of beauty to the overall celebration.
A Tarot Card Reader for a Unique Touch
One of the most unique and personal touches of the wedding was the tarot card reader. Samantha and David wanted to make their wedding even more memorable for their guests, and having a tarot card reader added an interactive and fun element to the evening. It was a great way to engage their guests, offering them a fun experience that tied into the overall mystical, celestial theme. This unique addition made the night even more unforgettable, giving everyone something to talk about and adding to the overall energy of the event.

Design Details That Made the Wedding Uniquely Theirs
Samantha and David’s attention to detail was incredible. They fully embraced their theme, and every aspect of the design was carefully chosen to reflect their starry night vision. From the galaxy-inspired centerpieces to the string lights hanging from the ceiling, every detail had a touch of cosmic magic.
The color palette was intentionally chosen to reflect the deep blues, purples, and silvers of the night sky, and the decorations complemented these tones, giving the venue a celestial feel. Their star signs were also displayed, which added a personal touch and allowed guests to feel a deeper connection to the theme. The couple’s commitment to incorporating their unique personalities into the wedding made the day feel incredibly personal and meaningful.
Why Samantha and David Chose O’Neil Events
“I was lucky enough to work with Samantha and David because of our connections within the local community. The groom’s family had previously worked with me, and I had also helped with some family weddings. They came to me because they wanted a planner who would listen to their vision and help bring their starry night dream to life. They knew I could guide them through the details of their wedding day and make sure everything was executed flawlessly.”
Our Role: Bringing Their Vision to Life with Seamless Execution
One of the things I love most about planning a wedding at George Peabody Library is how it allows couples to incorporate their personal touches while maintaining the venue’s timeless elegance. For Samantha and David, I helped make their vision a reality by coordinating with their vendors, managing the timeline, and ensuring that every element of their day matched their starry theme. We worked hard to bring the outdoor space into the celebration, ensuring that the stunning indoor spaces flowed seamlessly into the cocktail hour and reception. I also worked closely with the vendors to help them through some challenges that arose on the day, ensuring everything went smoothly so the couple could enjoy their day.
A Sweet Surprise: Tarot Card Readings and Stellar Memories
The fun surprise for guests was the tarot card reader, which added a mystical element to the evening. Guests were able to get their fortunes read while they mingled and enjoyed cocktails, which was an excellent addition to the celebration. I loved helping coordinate the flow of these special moments to ensure they felt integrated into the wedding, rather than disrupting the natural progression of the day.
