Intentional Design
Every floral, fabric, and folded napkin is chosen with a reason. We design weddings the way a novelist builds a chapter — with rhythm, tension, and moments of breath. Nothing is filler.
Our Story
Where Love Stories Become Timeless Celebrations
A decade of curating weddings with editorial soul — pairing intentional design with the quiet magic of unforgettable days.
Founded 2014
A studio built on the belief that weddings should feel as personal as the love they honor.
Sione's Wedding began as a small editorial journal — a quiet notebook of floral palettes, candlelit ceremonies, and the kind of quiet, perfect moments that don't make it onto Pinterest. What started between two sisters planning a single Tuscan wedding grew into a planning house for couples who wanted more than a checklist.
Ten years later, we are a tight-knit studio of planners, designers, and writers working from a converted brownstone in Charleston and a studio loft in Brooklyn. We plan roughly forty weddings a year — never more — because every couple deserves the kind of attention that turns a day into a story worth retelling.
We are not the largest studio. We are not the loudest. We are the team that remembers the name of your grandmother, the song your father taught you to dance to, and the way you both looked at each other the morning you decided.
Mission & Values
Three principles guide every celebration we touch.
We don't believe in trends that expire by next season. We believe in choices that feel right on the morning of — and still feel right twenty years later, in the photographs your children will one day find.
Calm Stewardship
Planning a wedding should not feel like a second job. Our couples tell us the most surprising part was how peaceful the process felt — even at the eleventh hour. That calm is engineered, not accidental.
Editorial Storytelling
From stationery to signage, we think like a magazine and plan like a producer. The result is a wedding that reads beautifully — and looks even better on the pages of your heirloom album.
Vendor as Family
Our little black book of florists, chefs, stationers, and musicians has been curated over a decade. We work with people we trust in our own homes — and we put them in yours.
Place-Led Planning
A wedding should taste like where it is. We pull palette and menu from the local landscape — whether that's a Brooklyn rooftop, a Loire Valley château, or your grandmother's coastal garden.
Legacy, Not Liability
Weddings are the first day of a marriage, not the peak. We plan for the marriage — the photos that will sit in your living room, the stories your friends will tell, the day that becomes a family touchstone.

The Studio
A small team, chosen carefully.
You'll work with the same people from our first call to the last dance. We don't believe in handoffs — only in the kind of trust that comes from being known.
