Mattie’s

05/23/2025

 

Michele and Fahad’s rehearsal dinner at Mattie’s set the tone for a heartfelt and unforgettable wedding weekend in Austin. Surrounded by an intimate circle of family, friends, and even the venue’s iconic peacocks, the evening felt personal, relaxed, and deeply meaningful — a true reflection of the couple’s style. Having recently purchased a home just up the street, Michele and Fahad knew Mattie’s would be the perfect place to gather their loved ones the night before their celebration.

 

One of the most memorable details of the weekend extended beyond the dinner itself. To welcome guests arriving into town, we reserved the signature marquee at the Austin Motel all Memorial Day weekend, creating a playful and uniquely local moment along South Congress. As guests traveled between events — from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding the following evening at the Four Seasons Hotel Austin, the custom sign became a fun and unexpected touchpoint that tied the entire weekend together. The result was a rehearsal dinner that felt effortlessly Austin: warm, stylish, and filled with thoughtful details that made every guest feel part of something special.

 

XOXO,
