Kate and Tim’s story began over a drink at Martina in Linden Hills—what quickly became their favorite spot and a place that shaped so much of their relationship. As Tim says, “three girls walked into the bar and one took my breath away,” and from that moment on, countless dinners and shared experiences made the restaurant feel like home. It was only fitting that their wedding reflected that same spirit—an elevated, unforgettable evening centered around incredible food, live music, and being surrounded by their favorite people. From a surprise champagne toast at Porzana on their wedding day to having the Martina team in attendance, every detail felt deeply personal and rooted in their story.

Their celebration began with a ceremony on the Four Seasons rooftop Riva Terrace, where a French Riviera-inspired design came to life through vibrant, “juicy” florals in bold, unexpected hues, lush green linens, and natural rattan textures. A mix of traditional seating and cabaret-style cocktail tables created a dynamic, inviting flow, while a live Bossa Nova band set a relaxed, coastal tone for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The evening then transitioned to Mara for dinner and dancing, where the atmosphere felt warm, intimate, and effortlessly refined. Guests enjoyed an exceptional dining experience before the energy shifted with a DJ-led dance floor, bringing the night to a celebratory close that felt both elevated and undeniably fun.
