With a classic Catholic ceremony and a grand ballroom celebration at one of Washington, D.C.’s most iconic hotels—The Willard InterContinental—this wedding was a dream from start to finish.
A Ceremony Steeped in Tradition
The couple exchanged vows at the historic St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, one of the oldest and most picturesque churches in Washington, D.C. With soaring ceilings, stained glass windows, and traditional architecture, it set the tone for a day that celebrated both faith and family.
Juliana stunned in a classic bridal look, made even more radiant by the expert beauty team from Jasmine Palma Artistry and Makeup by Ivelina. Her timeless elegance was matched perfectly by George’s sharp formalwear, and together they made a picture-perfect couple.
A Grand Reception in The Willard’s Crystal Room

Known for its gilded chandeliers, ornate detailing, and old-world glamour, it was the ideal setting for an upscale winter wedding in Washington, D.C.
Under the expert guidance of Blue Sapphire Events, the ballroom was transformed into a romantic wonderland. Lush white floral arrangements by LeRoy French Flowers filled the space with texture and elegance, beautifully complemented by custom rentals from Select Event Group.
