Sara & Leland’s Louisville Wedding

Written By Maggie Heely

Second Presbyterian Church & Louisville Country Club | June 14, 2025

Sara Wells and Leland Gray were married on a bright June afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky. Their wedding day was filled with intention, tradition, and thoughtful design — from the elegant ceremony at Second Presbyterian Church to a lively, stylish reception at Louisville Country Club.

A Ceremony Rooted in Meaning

The ceremony took place in the sanctuary of Second Presbyterian Church, a space that felt both peaceful and grand. With its architectural beauty and natural light, it provided the perfect setting for Sara and Leland to exchange vows surrounded by their closest family and friends.

A Reception Reimagined

After the ceremony, guests were welcomed to Louisville Country Club for a reception that blended timeless elegance with fresh, thoughtful details. One standout moment came from the floral team at By Denizen: when their planned installation didn’t fit the venue's mantel as intended, they quickly adapted, relocating the design to the stage. The result was even more impactful — a lush floral backdrop that elevated the band and anchored the room.

Personal Details, Seamless Flow


The couple prioritized guest experience — and it showed. From a custom Magbooth photo setup to a dynamic setlist from Bluewater Kings Band, the night was as fun as it was beautiful.

Signature drinks were served from a 1 Whitney Bar, accented with elegant rental pieces from All Occasions. A classic tiered cake from Rose Bakery was both a visual and culinary highlight. Guests stayed nearby at the stylish AC Hotel Downtown Louisville, ensuring a relaxed and festive weekend for all.

The Right Team Makes All the Difference

Sara and her bridal party started the day with professional hair and makeup by The Beauty Patrol. Pegasus Transportation provided smooth, on-time logistics throughout the day.

Photography by Todd Pellowe and videography by Flower & Oak captured the story of the day with care, clarity, and artistry — documenting the quiet moments and the big ones with equal attention.

From the Bride

“We felt zero stress on our wedding day, because of how organized Maggie is and that she goes above and beyond for you...
My mom said she got to enjoy every part of her daughter’s wedding and be present — because Maggie had everything so well planned out.
We cannot recommend Maggie and her team at Weekend Wedding Warrior enough!”
— Sara, Bride
