Unforgettable moments, expertly crafted.

Begin ↓ Est. Minneapolis · We travel for love · Film by Adam John Films

You didn’t come here FOR ORDINARY.

Because at SERCE, ordinary is never the goal. Unforgettable is.

You’re entrusting a celebration that reflects who you are and how you want it to feel. We interpret, shape and build it with intention. Effortless as it unfolds, lasting in memory.

A wedding isn’t a production. It’s a gathering.

The feeling. The energy. A belonging. We design for the room, not just the photographs.

Belonging is a design choice.

Every guest welcomed, considered, fully themselves. Proudly inclusive of every love story.

Few weddings. Full presence.

A limited number each year, so every celebration receives the depth of care it deserves.

Because you deserve a celebration that feels as good as it looks.

Our Values

Guided by care, rooted in intention.

Where celebration meets belonging.

Weddings create powerful environments for connection. We design them so every person in the room feels welcomed, respected and able to be fully themselves.

Every love story

Proudly inclusive. LGBTQIA+ couples and communities celebrated, always. Curiosity rather than assumption, in every conversation.

Belonging by design

Accessibility, comfort and welcome are design inputs from the first sketch, never afterthoughts.

Aligned partners

We collaborate with vendors who share our commitment to equity and care. The room is built by people who believe in it.

Founder & Architect of Moments

Meet Steph.

“I didn’t start SERCE because I love weddings. I started it because I care about how a room feels when it’s right. The pacing, the energy, that quiet sense of belonging when everyone you love is finally in one place.”

A decade of layered, multi-event celebrations. Structure and intuition, in equal measure.
