Elegant Wedding at the Aria | Southington, Connecticut

May 29, 2026

The Aria
Prospect, Connecticut

The day had touches of sophistication and romance at every turn. Starting with details of soft blues, peach, creams and the whimsy of daises brought the early summer day to life! Katelyn and Nicholas chose the Aria in Prospect with their garden grounds and ballroom elegance.

The first look was intimate with the exchange of their personal vows and promises to the start of their marriage. There were laughs and tears and honest connection. The best part of a first look is that it is just the couple with no pressure of all the guests.

Nick is Italian which means only one thing - the reception was a big family party! There's nothing like a couple who crowd surfs in their attire! The floor was packed and surrounded the couple with love. The first dance had an epic finale lift while the parent dances brought the emotion.

This wedding was a perfect reminder that the most beautiful celebrations are often built on simple moments—shared laughter, meaningful glances, and the excitement of starting a life together. Surrounded by elegance, natural light, and the people they love most, this couple created a wedding day that was both timeless and uniquely their own.

All smiles,

Mariel
