A Fall Wedding Weekend Full of Heart: L&L’s Elegant and Inclusive Celebration in DC and Chevy Chase
At O’Neil Events, we believe that stress-free wedding planning begins with understanding your vision—and bringing it to life with calm expertise and inclusive care. L&L’s wedding weekend was the perfect reflection of what we love most about our work: combining tradition, personality, and joy into a seamless, memorable experience.
A Weekend of Love, Tradition, and Celebration
L&L are a carefree, fun-loving couple who wanted a wedding weekend that honored both of their families and cultures. We worked together to create two distinct, beautiful celebrations: a traditional Indian ceremony on Friday and a church ceremony followed by a country club reception on Saturday. This two-day multicultural wedding was full of elegance, personal touches, and moments that reflected who they are as a couple.
Washington, DC and Chevy Chase, MD Wedding Venues with Meaning
The ceremony took place at The Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church—the same church where L’s parents were married—adding a beautiful generational thread to the weekend. The reception was held at Columbia Country Club, a place close to L’s heart where she grew up spending time. Her parents still go there every Thursday night to share two glasses of wine and talk about their week. That history made the setting feel even more special.
A Calm and Joyful Fall Wedding Day
The wedding weekend took place on a picture-perfect fall day in Washington, DC. The air was crisp, the leaves were glowing, and the mood was festive but relaxed. The couple leaned into the season’s richness with a vibrant fall floral palette and layered textures through the table linens—adding both depth and personality to the design.
What They Wore & How It Reflected Them
Each ceremony featured distinctive attire: colorful, traditional Indian wedding garments for Friday, and classic, elegant wedding fashion for Saturday. The contrast between the two days reflected L&L’s ability to embrace their cultures while celebrating their individuality.
Family, Emotion, and a Day to Remember
From honoring their parents’ traditions to getting married in the same church as L’s parents, family was at the center of this weekend. One of the most touching moments was seeing the couple take a quiet moment together after the ceremony to soak it all in before joining the reception—a reminder of the importance of being present amid the excitement.
Why L&L Chose O’Neil Events
L&L found us through referrals and our reputation as a luxury wedding planner with strong vendor relationships and deep knowledge of local venues—particularly Columbia Country Club. They told us they chose O’Neil Events because they trusted our calm demeanor, organizational skills, and experience navigating multi-event weekends.
Our Contribution to Their Seamless Experience
As their wedding planner, we were proud to provide clear, timely communication and logistical expertise throughout the planning process. Our team’s familiarity with the club helped us anticipate and handle details effortlessly, which allowed L&L to enjoy each moment of their weekend. We coordinated across vendors, managed two event days, and ensured everything ran smoothly—from vendor arrivals to emotional support when needed.
