Three years ago, I had no idea where this little dream would take us. 🥹
When Esther first hit the road, I said yes to every opportunity that came our way. I was determined to introduce her to the Piney Woods and beyond, hoping people would fall in love with the nostalgia and magic she brings to every event.
In the less than four months of 2023 after we bought her, we attended more than 40 vendor events and booked just TWO paid events—our very first wedding and a corporate holiday party.
In 2024, we celebrated a year of growth with 7 weddings, 4 corporate holiday parties, a Sweet 16, a bridal shower, a 50th wedding anniversary, and a 50th class reunion.
2025 slowed down a bit with 4 weddings, a nonprofit fundraiser, and a holiday party, but every event reminded us why we started this journey in the first place.
Now here we are, not even halfway through 2026, and we’ve already booked 19 weddings (6 have already taken place), a quinceañera, a nonprofit fundraiser, and 6 weddings for 2027.
The numbers are exciting, but what means the most to me is seeing people embrace the experience. Watching guests step inside Esther, set their phones aside, share genuine laughter, and make memories with the people they love is exactly what I envisioned from the beginning. In a fast-paced digital world, there’s something special about slowing down, unplugging, and creating tangible keepsakes from life’s most cherished moments.
Y’all, I’m truly blown away.
Thank you to every bride, groom, family, friend, organization, and supporter who has invited Esther to be part of your celebrations. Your support means more than you’ll ever know, and I can’t wait to see what the rest of 2026 has in store for us. ✨🌻⚓️📸🫶🏻
