Sam & Chris

Sam & Chris infused their wedding day with the same vibrant spirit that defines them—joyful, dynamic, and undeniably fun. Their celebration began with a traditional ceremony at St. Rita Catholic Church, followed by a reception at On the Levee in the Dallas Design District, where the industrial, white-canvas space came alive with the rich, layered tones of deep winter. Blending their families and heritages was at the heart of the day. The bride’s family traditions shone during the beloved Grand March, while the groom’s Iraqi culture brought unforgettable energy with illuminated drummers leading their celebratory entrance. From there, the reception erupted into a full-party atmosphere, powered by DJ Dan Quinn and saxophonist Marquis, who kept the dance floor packed from start to finish. The night continued with surprise moments that felt uniquely them—the drummers returning for an encore, the groomsmen’s playful Star Wars tribute, and even oversized cutouts of the couple joining the festivities. It was a celebration that didn’t just reflect Sam & Chris—it radiated their joy in every beat, laugh, and dance.
