Serves Hillsboro ♡
Silk & Shadows is a wedding planning and coordination team based in Portland. We’re Ava and Sasha, and between the two of us we plan, coordinate, decorate and officiate weddings all over Oregon and Washington. We started Silk & Shadows because we genuinely love weddings, especially the ones that don’t feel like they came out of a template. Over the last few years that has taken us everywhere from historic mansions and hotel ballrooms to restaurants, farms, orchards and completely empty fields where every table, chair, tent, light and drop of running water had to be brought in. We’ve had weddings with llamas, horses and very determined dogs, ceremonies in pouring Oregon rain, surprise performances, complicated family traditions and décor plans involving a frankly ridiculous number of candles. We’re very hands-on, which means once we take over a wedding, we’re not standing in a corner watching the timeline. We’re talking to vendors, setting things up, moving things around, finding missing people, fixing whatever decided to go wrong that day and keeping all of it as far away from the couple as possible. Sasha also officiates, which comes in especially handy when one of us needs to be focused on the ceremony while the other is already making sure the reception is ready. Our favorite weddings are the ones that actually look and feel like the people getting married. They can be dark and dramatic, colorful and chaotic, very traditional or not traditional at all. At the end of the day, our job is to make sure all the work you put into planning it turns into the wedding you were picturing, while you get to be there for it instead of managing it.

Be & Be Weddings
Portland, OR
Serves Hillsboro ♡
Since 2016, it's been my absolute pleasure to have officiated for over 350 couples throughout the Pacific NW. I consider it one of life's greatest honors to be entrusted with your wishes & visions for your special day, & to be blessed with the ability to help you create your perfect ceremony! From filling out and filing licenses to crafting custom ceremonies, I love to write, & clearly recognize the importance of both the finer details & big picture views. My appreciation for writing surfaced in my youth but I hadn't truly discovered my adoration for creating ceremonies until my own engagement, when my then-fiancé-now-husband & I worked to incorporate multiple faiths & traditions into an inclusive, uplifting & welcoming ceremony that would be well-received by our dearly beloved wedding guests— Catholic nuns, polytheistic pagans & all! Through honoring the world's various cultures & belief systems, my love of crafting wedding ceremonies was born. Fast forward 20 years... I now count the bright blessings of joyfully sharing in so many love stories & the great fortune of being able to collect your hopes, wishes & dreams for your special day's elements, wording & themes, to weave into a ceremony which embodies the essence of your partnership. Whether it's an intimate gathering, grand-themed to-do, or casual elopement just for two, I look forward to sharing in the goodness of co-creating the perfect ceremony for you! For those of you who write too, bring your ideas & adorations to our collaborations & allow me to infuse this wonder into your unforgettable day... or simply leave the penning to me & rest easier in the relief of relinquishing tasks & allowing me to be of service! Whether you wedding day involves a trip from my home to yours, a jaunt to the perfect venue, a hefty hike to that amazing vista, or hopping flights to faraway lands where your dream destination wedding takes place, I'd love to hear more! Don't yet have a location? Let me know how I may help & we'll venture forth together!
