Soon after they booked me, Tess began sharing her ideas for their beautiful destination wedding at the breathtaking El Chorro wedding venue.

Those idea’s came complete with a beer burro to mull around cocktail hour with a cooler on his back to deliver drinks to guests, and a champagne wall as a seating assignment. 

To be honest, the fun little details were only a fraction of why this day at El Chorro was so special. Tess and Brad are excited about love and each other. They make you feel welcomed, included, and you’ll feel old friends right away. This welcomeness was 100% reflected with their bridal party, that was so sweet and accommodating.

Tess + Brad have known each other since college.

After college, Brad moved to Nebraska and Tess began her job that she adores as a pediatric cardiac ICU nurse at Cincinnati Children’s. In the summer of 2016, Brad moved back, and they both laugh that they haven’t stopped hanging out since. 

The new Mr. & Mrs. Vanover were really looking to achieve a boho, romantic style for their wedding – which was executed perfectly by Kayla from Some Like It Classic Wedding Planning! They chose to host their wedding at El Chorro because of its scenic backdrop, and gorgeous character.

They combined some of the best vendors from Cincinnati to Phoenix for this destination wedding, and the results did not disappoint! 

How great was the idea to make their signature cocktails after their pups? And their bridesmaid painted this sign! 

Thank you so much to the incredible vendors that made this gorgeous El Chorro Wedding happen! From Cincinnati to Phoenix, we had some of the best on this wedding!
