Last month, I had the incredible honor of serving as a panelist at the Hyatt Regency’s 2025 Wedding Trendsetters Lunch & Learn in the heart of Baltimore, Maryland. From start to finish, the Hyatt curated an experience that felt like stepping into a luxury wedding celebration itself—complete with a live DJ, lush florals, signature cocktails, and gourmet catering.
Before the event officially began, we kicked off the day with a stunning styled shoot, making the most of the venue’s beautifully designed setting. (Don’t worry—we’ll be sharing more from that dreamy shoot very soon!) As the styled session wrapped, wedding planners and industry professionals began to arrive, greeted warmly by the amazing Krista Chandler Everett, the planner behind this extraordinary event.
As the grand ballroom doors opened, the room was met with audible gasps of delight. Magenta and purple draping danced alongside metallic gold chairs and gemstone-toned accents. Illustrious floral arrangements and luxe table settings set the tone for what was truly an inspiring afternoon.
Once guests were seated and enjoying their meals, Krista invited the panelists to the stage to share insights on what’s ahead in the wedding world. It was an absolute joy to sit beside some of the best creatives in the industry and discuss the evolving role of technology in wedding planning, how to better serve modern couples, and how to bring more intentionality to every celebration. We also shared helpful advice on budgeting and highlighted some of the incredible incentives the Hyatt Regency Baltimore offers to couples and their families.
If you're currently searching for a venue that blends elegance, versatility, and exceptional service—whether for an intimate ceremony or a grand affair—we wholeheartedly recommend exploring all that the Hyatt has to offer.
A heartfelt thank you again to Krista and the entire Hyatt Regency team for inviting me to be part of such a beautiful gathering of creatives. We can’t wait for the day we get to document a real wedding in this incredible space!
