Weddings at Liberty Grand are always beautiful, but Laura and Brandon’s day was truly unforgettable. The weather couldn’t have been better. The sun glowed all day, with just enough breeze to keep everyone comfortable. From heartfelt moments to fun surprises, this Liberty Grand wedding captured it all.
Getting Ready: A Personal and Thoughtful Start
The Groom’s Morning at Home
First of all, Brandon began his day in the most relaxed way possible—getting ready at home. Being in his own space made everything feel calm and natural. He spent the morning surrounded by laughter, family, and his best friends. No rush, no stress—just good energy to start the day.
The Bride’s Morning at a Nearby Airbnb
Meanwhile, Laura and her closest friends got ready at a beautiful Airbnb close to Liberty Grand. Choosing an Airbnb instead of a hotel allowed for more space, better lighting, and a cozy atmosphere. It’s always a great idea to book a stylish Airbnb near your venue. It makes for beautiful getting-ready photos and a peaceful environment.
A Wedding Party Made With Intention
One of the most heartwarming parts of the day was how Laura and Brandon chose their wedding party. They didn’t follow the “groomsmen on one side, bridesmaids on the other” tradition. Instead, they invited their favorite people to stand beside them—regardless of gender or expectations.
Brandon had a mix of siblings and lifelong friends. It was all about who meant the most to them. This made the wedding party feel more intimate, more genuine, and completely them.

Guests enjoyed drinks, charcuterie, and music while sipping on some signature cocktails. Liberty Grand makes this transition seamless. There’s no need to shuffle guests around—everything flows naturally.
The venue staff kept things running smoothly, so everyone could relax and enjoy the moment. Guests mingled, shared hugs with the couple, and sipped champagne.
Elegant Reception in the Centennial Room
After cocktails, guests moved into the Centennial Room for the reception. High ceilings, chandeliers, and grand architecture created a stunning backdrop for the celebration. Liberty Grand weddings are known for their timeless elegance, and this space delivered.
