When Brock and Geoff began planning their wedding, they knew they wanted a celebration that reflected their values of sustainability and inclusivity. They partnered with Naturally Yours Events, who helped them bring their vision to life while making eco-conscious choices. Through their planner’s guidance, they connected with other like-minded vendors from the Green Wedding Alliance, ensuring that every detail—from locally sourced florals to a thoughtfully chosen venue—aligned with their commitment to sustainability.
