In October 2025, we had the absolute honor of coordinating a wedding that was nothing short of spectacular. We’re talking about a day that perfectly blended classic DC elegance with a vibe that was totally, authentically them. From vows at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament to the wedding reception at the Chevy Chase Club, this wasn’t just a wedding; it was an experience to remember.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Shannon and Piotr’s wedding day.
Shannon and Piotr hired O’Neil Events for a few reasons. First, we have extensive experience working at the Chevy Chase Club, so we know the lay of the land, the flow of the room, and exactly how to make that space work for your event.
We also came with strong recommendations and reviews, and most importantly, we delivered.
The Beginning
The day began with a beautiful ceremony at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament Church. There is something undeniably powerful about a traditional church ceremony. The architecture, the history, the solemnity of the moment. It set a gorgeous, grounded tone for the rest of the day.
But once the “I dos” were complete, it was time to turn up the fun.
Transportation can be boring, but for this couple, it was anything but. They hired Old Town Trolley Tours of Washington to transport the wedding party, and let me tell you, it was amazing. It was a celebration on wheels, and exactly what we mean when we say you should inject your personality into every detail.
If you have questions about working with the Chrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament Church, or booking Old Trolley Tours, schedule a call with us.
The Reception: Chevy Chase Club (MD)
Location: 6100 Connecticut Ave, Chevy Chase, MD 20815, United States
The reception took place at the iconic Chevy Chase Club. This venue is a staple for a reason; it oozes sophistication and history. But a great venue is only as good as the execution of the event, and that’s where O’Neil Events comes in.
We had the pleasure of managing all the vendors, so the couple walked into their reception feeling light, happy, and ready to party. The atmosphere was electric, and the flow of the day was nothing short of perfect.
We are obsessed with the images from this day, captured by the incredibly talented Kristen Gardner. If you are looking for a photographer who can capture the soul of your event, look no further. You can check out her stunning work at kristengardner.com. She didn’t just take photos; she documented the magic.

Testimonial
We can tell you how great we are all day, but nothing beats hearing it straight from the people who lived it. The Mother of the Bride sent us this review, and honestly? It’s why we do what we do.
“You are the BEST!! Thank you so much for making Shannon’s wedding day perfect. You kept everything on track with such grace. Your calmness permeated throughout the event and kept us all relaxed the entire afternoon and evening. And thank you for your extra care with Danielle calming her nerves before her speech. The entire event was flawless thanks to your planning and attention to detail.“
This is the goal. “Calmness permeated throughout the event.” That is the O’Neil Events signature. We handle the nerves, the timeline, and the chaos so you can focus on the champagne and the dance floor.
