Cozy Fall Wedding at The Simpson House | Rachel & Michelle

Some weddings just feel right from the start, and Rachel & Michelle’s wedding at The Simpson House was exactly that. A crisp fall day, a cozy and historic venue, and a packed dance floor that kept the energy high all night—it was a dream from beginning to end.

Getting Ready at The Simpson House

Rachel & Michelle spent the morning getting ready in separate suites at The Simpson House, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The venue was the perfect setting—warm, inviting, and full of charm. The anticipation built all morning as they got ready for their first look and wedding party photos.

First Look & Wedding Party Photos at The Nelson-Atkins

Before the ceremony, Rachel & Michelle traveled with their wedding party to The Nelson-Atkins Museum for photos. It was the perfect backdrop for their elegant color palette of burgundy, blush, and navy, and their wedding party brought such a fun, supportive energy to the day.

A Heartfelt Ceremony at The Simpson House

Guests gathered in the backyard of The Simpson House for an intimate and emotional ceremony. Rachel walked down the aisle first, escorted by her father, followed by the wedding party. Michelle entered last with her father, marking one of the most touching moments of the day.

Their ceremony had a traditional flow but felt deeply personal, especially with the vows they wrote to each other. The floral arrangements, created by Michelle’s cousin Stephanie, made the space even more special. When they were officially married, the joy in the air was palpable.

A Warm Welcome & Cozy Reception

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio before heading inside for the reception. Rachel & Michelle made their grand entrance to a huge round of applause, kicking things off with a heartfelt welcome speech to thank their guests for being part of their day.

The reception space was beautifully set with rich fall tones, and the personal floral touches from Michelle’s cousin made everything feel uniquely theirs.

A Packed Dance Floor & Late-Night Totchos

Once dinner wrapped up, the dance floor filled up fast—and stayed that way all night. This was a party crowd, and the energy never dipped. Between drinks and dancing, guests raved about the late-night tater totcho bar (because who doesn’t love tater tots and nacho toppings after hours on the dance floor?).

Before the night ended, Rachel & Michelle took a moment to soak it all in and thank everyone once more. It was the perfect ending to a day that felt completely them—joyful, heartfelt, and filled with love.

Client Love

I had the pleasure of working with Sofi for our wedding, and I can confidently say that choosing them was one of the best decisions we made! From start to finish, Sofi was an absolute dream to work with. Right from our first meeting, Sofi listened attentively to our vision and helped bring it to life in a way that was far beyond our expectations. They took the time to understand our style, preferences, and budget, and expertly curated a plan that made our dream wedding a reality. Their attention to detail was unmatched, ensuring that every little aspect of the day, from the flowers to the seating arrangement, was flawless. What stood out most to me was Sofi’s professionalism and ability to stay calm under pressure. Weddings are often stressful, but Sofi handled everything with grace, ensuring everything went smoothly on the big day. They coordinated with vendors, kept the timeline on track, and made sure we could enjoy every moment without any worries. They also went above and beyond in helping us make decisions, whether it was recommending amazing vendors, suggesting creative ideas, or offering solutions when challenges arose. Their knowledge and experience were invaluable. On our wedding day, I was able to relax and truly enjoy every moment, knowing that Sofi had everything under control. The event was beautiful, seamless, and exactly what we had envisioned. I highly recommend Philosofi Celebrations to anyone planning their wedding. If you want a stress-free, unforgettable experience, this is the wedding planner for you! Thank you again, Sofi for making our day perfect!
