You’ve been to that wedding. The one with the same ceremony script, the same four-cheese hors d’oeuvres, and a playlist that hasn’t changed since your cousin’s nuptials in 2016.
Nice? Sure.
Memorable? Not exactly.
But that’s not what couples want anymore.
Kelli Trumbull and Misty Moore, the dynamic duo behind Stonewall Weddings, know a thing or two about what makes a celebration unforgettable.
And spoiler alert: it’s not just the linens. It’s the feeling – that unmistakable sense – that the wedding was made just for that couple.
Let’s talk about what it takes to uncopy-paste your big day.
How to Plan a Perfectly Personalized Wedding
A Wedding That Feels Like You
“Everybody wants their wedding to feel like it’s their own,” says Kelli Trumbull.
And honestly, who wouldn’t? A wedding should be less of a performance and more of a story… your story.
But it’s not just about a unique cake topper or a quirky guest book.
“It’s about telling their story as the couple and as people,” Kelli explains. “They want their guests to walk away feeling the emotion, the connection, saying that was so them.”
When a wedding feels deeply personal, it becomes more than an event. It becomes a memory not just for the couple, but for everyone in the room. It’s not about perfection; it’s about presence.
The laughter that feels familiar.
The decor that reminds you of their first road trip.
The music that says, “this is who we are.”
It’s about inviting your people into those moments and letting them feel the love that built this day.

The Secret to a Personalized Wedding? Listening First, Planning Second
You’d think planning hundreds of weddings might lead to a rinse-and-repeat approach.
But not at Stonewall.
“It always starts with active listening,” says Misty Moore.
Before any decisions are made, she and her team spend time with couples, learning “how they met, what they love, and what they envision for their day.”
That information becomes the blueprint, guiding everything from the venue layout to the food and beverage options. “Our goal is to make the process feel supportive and easy while helping them create something that feels authentic and truly theirs,” Misty says.
In other words, no assumptions. No pressure to follow the latest wedding trend.
Just a team that’s on board to build your vision (not someone else’s Pinterest board.)

Fireworks, Family Recipes & Boat Exits (a Truly Unique Wedding!)
What does personalization look like in real life?
At Stonewall, no two weddings are ever the same (and that’s the point!)
Kelli has seen it all. “We’ve had everything from sunset lakefront ceremonies to the couple riding off on a boat as their farewell, with fireworks going off in the background.”
Yes, you read that right: boat exit + fireworks. But it’s not just the dramatic moments that stick.
Custom menus inspired by family recipes, for example, hit a different note. Maybe your grandmother’s lasagna becomes the rehearsal dinner centerpiece. Or a dessert bar inspired by your favorite vacation to France.
“It’s just little touches here or there that make the day feel intentional and uniquely theirs,” says Kelli. Music, décor, location — it’s all fair game for customization. And that’s the beauty of it: no two love stories are the same, so why should weddings be?
How Stonewall Gets Personalized Weddings Right
If you’re wondering what makes Stonewall Weddings stand out, it starts with the location, but it ends with the people.
“The scenery is stunning,” Misty admits. But it’s what her team does with that backdrop that makes the magic.
Think curated experiences, meaningful connections, and a planning process that doesn’t make you want to scream into a pillow.
And if you’re curious to see it for yourself? They’ve got just the thing.
“We host wedding open houses where couples can tour the spaces, meet our partners, and really picture their day here,” Misty says.
Kelli adds, “We happen to have one coming up on Sunday, February 22nd (2026) from 12 to 2 PM. If you want to RSVP, just give us a call. We’d love to have you.”
The Bottom Line: Personal > Perfect
If you take one thing away from our story, let it be this: the most memorable weddings aren’t flawless.
They’re personal.
They’re the ones where the couple’s personality shines through every detail, from the vows to the wine list.
So skip the template. Forget the “shoulds.” Craft a wedding that’s so you, your guests leave saying, “I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it.”
Because the real magic? It’s not in the fireworks. It’s in making your day feel unmistakably, unapologetically yours.
