A Night to Remember for Stephanie & Jason

Stephanie Nachbin and Jason Shur’s wedding was held at Brick and Ivey in Marietta on a beautiful day on April 26.

They met on Hinge in 2022, and they both lived in the Old Fourth Ward, so they went to a local bar for their first date, hit it off and things were humming from there. They dated for almost two years before Jason proposed to Stephanie in downtown Roswell where they love to hang out and now live in their first home together.

For the proposal, Stephanie thought they were going out to dinner, but Jason had a plan – their family decorated to the max and hired a photographer. Then just the two of them had their sushi date night alone and subsequently went back to their parents’ home to celebrate with everyone.

Stephanie said, “The best thing we did was hire our planner, Melissa Miller, who coincidentally, also planned the groom’s bar mitzvah, so it was very special. She helped throughout the process with venue selection and all of our vendors, while keeping us calm and on track throughout.”

They picked the venue, Brick and Ivey, because they wanted a white, “clean slate, not super quirky” atmosphere. They loved the built-in bar and cocktail hour space. But their most favorite feature was the afterparty space, which featured a pool table and its own bar where all of their friends could stay late and continue to celebrate and dance.

DJ Omar from Atlanta Fever provided the music. Jason and Stephanie made a playlist of all of their “must have” songs, which DJ Omar played and kept spinning about which “everyone complimented us and had great things to say.” He also provided the ceremony music which was beautiful and exactly made to order.

Stephanie said, “The guests were on the dance floor all night. We had Fathead posters of our two dogs, Jake and Max, and we danced with them, too!” A last-minute decision was made to get a splashy white and gold checkered dance floor by Atlanta Dancefloors which really made the room sparkle.

According to Miller, “They are so glad they decided to do that.”

The florist, Caroline Worth Designs, created exactly what Stephanie wanted and really understood her vision and goals. They adored the chuppah which was filled with flowers, and they especially had fun taking pictures with the custom neon sign. Joyce, the groom’s mom, made special table numbers with the couple’s baby and childhood photos which were a very special touch. The couple opted not to do a traditional wedding cake. Instead, they served cookies and brownies, along with a late-night delivery of the couple’s favorite, Krispy Kreme donuts, which were a huge hit. They had a vintage telephone voice message guest book (After the Tone) which was a unique twist.

Approximately 120 guests attended. The bridal party included six bridesmaids and seven groomsmen which Jason said, “was the perfect amount; and we loved having them be a part of our special day.”

Parents are Joyce and Brett Shur and Michele and Mark Nachbin. The bride’s parents, who live in Chicago, often traveled to Atlanta to help make decisions throughout the planning process. Stephanie’s mom and dad gave heartfelt speeches, and the father/daughter and mother/son dances were a special part of the wedding night.

For the honeymoon, the couple went to Punta Cana to an all-inclusive resort and “hung out by the pool every day and just enjoyed each other.” While there, they listened to all of those phone messages which were sentimental post-wedding.

A few weeks after returning from their honeymoon, their photographer (Ben and Colleen) sent all of the wedding photos which were “super fun to go through and relive the special day.”

Melissa Miller of MM Events Atlanta said, “This was a very special wedding for me for Stephanie and Jason – this is the first wedding I have planned for someone who I did their bar mitzvah, too. I have officially been doing this a long time! It was my absolute pleasure to help Stephanie and Jason, they were great clients who trusted me, and, in the end, their day was perfect in every way!”
