A Perfectly Personal Day Wedding at DACOR Bacon House in Washington, DC
At O’Neil Events, we believe your wedding day should feel like you. M&A’s celebration at DACOR Bacon House in Washington, DC was a beautiful reflection of that philosophy—personal, intentional, and thoughtfully designed to match their preferences, not anyone else’s expectations.
A DC Power Couple with a Clear Vision
M&A are a hard-working, accomplished couple rooted in the heart of Washington, DC. With busy careers and a shared commitment to authenticity, they knew exactly what they wanted: a meaningful, comfortable celebration that felt true to who they are. That included planning a daytime wedding—because it suited their energy, their style, and how they wanted to experience the day.
A Warm Fall Day in the Heart of the City
Their late fall wedding turned out to be unusually warm and sunny—another little sign that everything was lining up just right. With the flexible indoor-outdoor setup of DACOR Bacon House, the couple and their guests were able to enjoy the historic elegance of the interiors and the natural beauty of the gardens. It created a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that fit the day perfectly.
Design Details and Personal Style
Every element of the day was carefully considered, yet never overdone. The couple’s focus was on creating an experience that felt personal and joyful, rather than performative. The color palette and decor reflected a calm elegance that complemented the venue without distracting from the meaning of the day.
Why They Chose O’Neil Events
M&A were looking for a wedding planner who would truly listen—someone who could guide them through decisions while staying aligned with their unique vision. They chose O’Neil Events because they knew they could count on us for clear communication, honest input, and calm, professional execution. Our job was to make the process seamless and empowering, and that’s exactly what we aimed to do.
Our Role: Championing Their Vision
One of the ways we helped bring their day to life was by affirming their desire for a daytime wedding and building a plan that fully supported it—from timeline design to vendor coordination to thoughtful guest experience. We made sure every decision supported their comfort, ease, and intention.
A Wedding That Just Felt Right
The energy of the day was calm, warm, and full of quiet joy. Rather than follow trends or pressure, M&A created a wedding that reflected their values—and we were honored to help bring that to life.
