Four Seasons Resort | Scottsdale, AZ
ABOUT THE WEDDING
Karen and Felix chose the iconic Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale as the setting for their wedding weekend, and every detail reflected their taste for elegance, family connection, and immersive design. Nestled against the dramatic Sonoran landscape, their celebration effortlessly blended refined romance with modern desert sophistication.
The couple exchanged vows at St. Bernard of Clairvaux, a beautiful Catholic church in far East Scottsdale, where the soft afternoon light filtered through arched windows and bathed Karen in a golden glow as she walked down the aisle in a breathtaking Tom Sebastian gown. Felix’s expression said it all — this moment had been a long time coming.
Planned and curated by the incomparable Mandy Marie Events, the reception was a true showstopper. Guests were welcomed into a dramatic space where black linen tablescapes contrasted beautifully with lush hanging greenery and cascading white roses. A custom chandelier installation floated above the head table, where Karen and her closest family dined beneath twinkling crystal light — a design touch she dreamed of from the very beginning.
From heartfelt speeches to sunset portraits among the cacti, this wedding was rich with meaning, celebration, and style. Every layer was designed to feel warm and intimate while still delivering that unmistakable wow factor.
