Names: Morgan & Matt
How long have you and your spouse been together?: 2 years
What was your wedding date?: November 9th
How did you meet your spouse?: On hinge, as much as we hate to give credit to the dating apps
How did they pop the question?: Matt popped the question at my family cabin, as we were posing for a casual photo. He also custom built my ring out of bits and pieces I liked on various rings, so I was blown away just seeing the perfection that is my ring! He did so well! 🙂
Ackin Events Meets Morgan & Matt
We met Morgan & Matt at a bridal expo in St. Paul, Minnesota – just recently engaged and looking to cross a bunch of things off their list. She signed up for my raffle and when we chatted, we instantly clicked. She ended up scrolling through my instagram and found a wedding inspiration reel we made and instantly scheduled their free consultation.
Once we were in our consultation, it was clear that us working together was the perfect choice. We understood each other, they communicated exactly what they needed, and we put them at ease with the ways we would serve them on their wedding day. This rustic elegant wedding was going to be amazing and we couldn’t wait to get started!

We were also able to help fill the gaps on decor items to help them complete their wedding day vision.
