A Black-Tie Rooftop Wedding at Ventanas Atlanta
Some weddings feel like moments. Others feel like milestones.
Kyler Johnson and Bijou Casende’s wedding at Ventanas in downtown Atlanta was the kind of celebration that blended culture, elegance, and intention from start to finish.
Set against the Atlanta skyline, this black-tie affair brought together 120 of the couple’s closest family and friends for an unforgettable evening rooted in love, tradition, and style.
A Rooftop Ceremony at Sunset
The ceremony began promptly at 5 PM on Ventanas’ rooftop, just as the sun dipped behind the city. Guests were greeted with panoramic views and a refined black, white, and cream aesthetic that perfectly matched the couple’s vision.
With the city as their backdrop, Kyler and Bijou exchanged vows in a moment that felt both intimate and grand. Guests were encouraged to “pick a seat, not a side,” setting the tone for a celebration centered on unity and togetherness.
An Elegant Reception Experience
At 6:30 PM, the celebration moved indoors for the reception. Designed as a full black-tie experience, guests enjoyed an open bar, a thoughtfully curated buffet, and assigned seating that kept the evening flowing smoothly.
One of the most meaningful moments of the night came during the couple’s first dance, when guests were invited to participate in a traditional money dance—a joyful blessing of prosperity, love, and abundance for the newlyweds.
Participation was optional, but the energy and support in the room made it a truly memorable highlight.
Music, Energy, and Celebration
From the first song to the final send-off at 11:00 PM, the music set the tone for the night. Every transition—from ceremony to reception, from dinner to dancing—was designed to feel seamless, elevated, and celebratory.
The dance floor stayed packed as guests celebrated Kyler and Bijou’s union, capturing memories, laughing, and honoring the moment together.
