Morgan & Peter's Timeless Ringling Museum Wedding
Few wedding venues capture the beauty and history of Sarasota quite like the Ringling Museum. With its breathtaking architecture, waterfront views, and iconic courtyard spaces, it's easy to see why couples from across the country choose this remarkable venue to celebrate one of the most important days of their lives.
Morgan and Peter's wedding was the perfect example of everything we love about a Ringling Museum celebration with elegant design, thoughtful details, incredible entertainment, and a team of talented professionals working together to create an unforgettable experience.
Led by Laura Detwiler and her amazing team, the day unfolded effortlessly from start to finish. Every detail had been carefully planned well in advance, allowing the couple, their families, and their guests to fully enjoy every moment of the celebration.
A Beautiful Ceremony at the Ringling
The ceremony took place on the stunning grounds of the Ringling Museum, where guests were welcomed with one of our favorite additions to the Stella Rose collection—our Wisteria Garden Chairs.
This wedding marked one of the first Ringling Museum debuts of the season for the Wisteria collection, and we couldn't have imagined a more beautiful setting. Their timeless garden-inspired design paired perfectly with the elegance of the venue and created a romantic atmosphere for Morgan and Peter's vows.
Surrounded by family, friends, and the beauty of Sarasota's cultural landmark, the couple exchanged vows in a setting that felt both intimate and grand.
Cocktail Hour Among the Courtyards
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour while exploring the beautiful grounds of the museum.
To encourage conversation and relaxation, Stella Rose Events provided lounge furniture and high-top cocktail tables throughout the space. Some guests gathered comfortably in the lounges while others mingled over cocktails, creating the perfect balance of elegance and hospitality.
Adding to the atmosphere, the talented performers from Cirque Vertigo entertained guests throughout cocktail hour, bringing energy, excitement, and a touch of unexpected wonder to the evening.
A Reception Filled with Beauty and Celebration
As guests entered the reception, they were welcomed into a space that felt both sophisticated and inviting.
Victoria Bloom once again demonstrated why her team is one of the most sought-after floral designers in the region. Her stunning floral arrangements transformed the reception with lush blooms, beautiful textures, and thoughtfully designed tablescapes that perfectly complemented the venue's timeless surroundings.
The tables were beautifully appointed with our Harper Chairs, paired with elegant linens and our Eloise Chargers. Together, the combination created a refined and cohesive design that felt effortlessly luxurious while allowing the florals to shine.
Every detail worked together to create a reception space that was both visually stunning and welcoming for guests.
Dinner, Dancing, and Memories Under the Stars
Guests enjoyed an incredible dining experience prepared by Simply Gourmet by Metz under the leadership of Becky Souflis, whose team consistently delivers exceptional service and unforgettable cuisine.
To finish the evening on a sweet note, Cakes by Ron created a beautiful wedding cake that perfectly complemented the celebration.
As dinner concluded, the energy shifted to the dance floor where the Noah Grey Band kept guests dancing throughout the evening. From the first song to the final encore, the dance floor remained packed as family and friends celebrated Morgan and Peter's new chapter together.
One of the most memorable moments of the evening was watching guests dance beneath the iconic David statue, surrounded by the beauty and history that make the Ringling Museum such a magical place for weddings.
A Perfect Sarasota Wedding
From the romantic ceremony and lively cocktail hour to the elegant reception and unforgettable dance party, Morgan and Peter's wedding was a beautiful reflection of thoughtful planning, incredible vendor collaboration, and a couple deeply loved by those around them.
