A Modern and Chic Wedding at the Garland Hotel

Not your average hotel wedding

This gorgeously modern and chic wedding happened last November at the Garland Hotel in North Hollywood. I hadn’t heard of this venue until I booked with Bonnie + Thomas. The Garland hotel boasts a unique and eclectic vibe that doesn’t feel like your standard hotel, which makes for a great wedding venue! I met with Bonnie + Thomas a little later in the planning process but our first meeting was nothing short of fun. After a walk through at the hotel, we planned out some more fun, ideas and décor but what was really hilarious was brainstorming a hashtag for the wedding. With last names ip + low, we thought #dipiplow was clever! Get it #dipitlow? We laughed, finalized plans and enjoyed breakfast together. Those are some of the best planning meetings with clients; where you get to know each other! I always love getting closer to my clients, because in the end we both want to walk away happy, and sometimes I’m lucky enough to gain new friends out of the process!

Now do yourself a favor, and check out this beautiful modern and chic wedding shot by Noteworthy Weddings! Oh, and Bonne’s dresses (yes, plural) are to die for! Inspired by Chinese tradition, Bonnie changed into a stunning red gown after dinner. They went around and had a drink at every table…and there were 200 guests! Serious couple goals and a great way to cheers with your friends and family to a new life together!

Congrats Bonnie + Thomas!

Hi, I'm Kari.
Wedding Planner, Podcaster, & Creative Entrepreneur.

The founder and lead planner behind Feathered Arrow Studio. Over the past 11 years, I’ve designed and executed more than 175 weddings throughout Southern California, helping couples create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautiful.

My approach blends thoughtful design with genuine hospitality. I care deeply about how a wedding feels not just how it looks. I want every detail to be intentional and every guest to feel taken care of. Together we take your inspiration, your story, and your priorities and turn them into a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.

Not every couple needs full-service planning, which is why I also offer wedding consults and planning guides for those navigating the process on their own. I’m also the co-host of Just Another Biz Podcast, where we have honest conversations about the wedding industry with fellow creatives behind the scenes.
