The escort display was a nod to Austin, Kathy’s hometown and the city where they met: The wall’s I LOVE YOU SO MUCH greeting and color emulated the mural at Jo’s Coffee, and the shots were filled with Knockout Martinis à la Matt’s El Rancho restaurant. Late-night bites included Nashville-style chicken sandwiches, plus thousands of home-baked treats at their Pittsburgh cookie table. A highlight of the celebration? “We thought we were compromising by selecting a DJ rather than a live band,” says Kathy. “But it was one of the best decisions of our planning. We received more comments about DJ Phlipz than any other aspect of our wedding.”   The Details Venue: National Museum of Women in the Arts Photographer: Abby Jiu Photography Planning and design: Edwin Hernandez with Ida Rose Events + Design Florist: Sophie Felts Floral Design Invitations: Minted Caterer: RSVP Catering Hairstylist: Mirna Olivares Artistry Makeup artist: Makeup by Shirin Music: DJ Phlipz Rentals: Maison de Carine; DC Rental; Something Vintage; Select Event Group Videographer: Paperboys Content creation: In the Moment Content Creators Escort display: Sweet Gifts Photo booth: Photoshoot Fresh   This wedding originally appeared in the January 2025 issue of Washingtonian.
