I can’t even begin to tell you how special Hannah and Cody’s wedding at Bayou Haven was. It was one of those days that you know everyone will look back on with so much love and joy.
The Father of the Bride’s Thoughts
Hannah’s dad shared the sweetest reflection on the day that really stuck with me. He said:
“As the father of the bride (and the one footing the bill!), I cannot say enough great things about Hanna at Gatherings by HB. From the very first meeting to the last dance of the evening, she handled every detail with professionalism, kindness, and incredible attention to detail.”
Planning a wedding can be such a wild ride, and it was so nice to hear that we helped ease some of that stress for Hannah and Cody’s families.
“The reception was flawless, and my wife and I were able to relax and actually enjoy the day rather than worry about logistics.”
Honestly, that’s the goal for me—helping families have a stress-free, beautiful day without having to sweat the details.
Hannah’s Grateful Heart
Hannah was just glowing all day long, and she was so grateful for everyone who helped make the day perfect. She posted this sweet message after the wedding:
"WE ARE MARRIED! 🥰🤗 .. what a dream it has been! Cody & I would like to thank my parents for everything they did to make our dream wedding come true! We would also like to thank Hanna Gueringer Broom for all of her hard work in making sure everything was perfect for us! Thank you Nikki Bardwell Photography for capturing our night last night! Thank you Isaac Suttle Films for getting all the vids to make our video that we will cherish for a lifetime! Thank you to Staché Vintage Rentals for making my fairytale wedding come to life with your amazing work! -The McNeelys"
The joy between these two was absolutely contagious. You could see how much they loved each other, and it was such an honor to help bring their dream wedding to life.
