Why Your Vendor Team Matters at Oxford Exchange
Oxford Exchange is a venue that elevates every detail—so your vendor team should be nothing less than extraordinary. Over the years, I’ve seen how the right planner, florist, DJ, and especially your photographer and videographer, can transform your day from simply beautiful to truly unforgettable. The best vendors know the venue’s flow, lighting, and hidden gems, and they work together seamlessly to ensure your wedding is as editorial, timeless, and joyful as you’ve imagined.
Planning Perfection: Kelci Leigh Events
No Oxford Exchange wedding runs smoother than one planned by Kelci Leigh Events. Kelci is a master of both vision and logistics—her events are as personal as they are polished. I’ve watched her turn last-minute challenges into moments of magic, always with a calm smile and a reassuring word. Kelci’s collaborative spirit brings out the best in every vendor, and her eye for detail ensures your day is as unique as your love story. Connect with her at kelcileighevents.com and @kelcileighevents.
Luxury Florals: Tailored Blooms for Oxford Exchange
Oxford Exchange’s architecture is a floral designer’s dream. I’ve worked with Botanica International Design Studio and Events in Bloom, and both bring a level of artistry that transforms the Conservatory and Atrium into lush, living installations. From dramatic arches to delicate tablescapes, their designs are always in harmony with the venue’s style and your vision.
The Soundtrack: DJs Who Set the Tone
Music sets the mood, and at Oxford Exchange, only the best will do. Grant Hemond & Associates are true professionals who know how to keep the dance floor full while respecting the venue’s elegant vibe. For a boutique, luxury experience, Breezin’ Entertainment offers DJs and live musicians who tailor every set to your tastes and timeline.
Cakes, Confections & Culinary Artistry
The cake is more than dessert—it’s a centerpiece. The Artistic Whisk creates cakes that are as delicious as they are beautiful, with hand-painted details, gold leaf, and sugar flowers that echo your floral design. Their team works closely with planners and florists to ensure your cake is a showstopper.
Decor & Rentals: Setting the Scene
For luxury rentals, A Chair Affair and Kate Ryan Event Rentals are my go-to teams. Their curated collections turn Oxford Exchange’s spaces into personalized works of art, from velvet lounge furniture in the Study to gold-rimmed glassware in the Atrium. Their attention to detail is second to none.
Photography & Videography: Stills by Hernan | Stills the Studio
Your Oxford Exchange wedding deserves to be captured with artistry, emotion, and editorial flair. That’s where Stills by Hernan | Stills the Studio comes in.
As a preferred Oxford Exchange wedding photographer and videographer, Hernan and the team have mastered every angle, every light shift, and every signature moment this venue offers. From the golden hour glow in the Conservatory to the moody elegance of the Study, their hybrid of timeless and editorial style ensures your wedding photos and films are both iconic and deeply personal.
What sets Stills by Hernan apart is not just technical skill, but the ability to collaborate seamlessly with your planner, florist, and entertainment. I’ve seen Hernan coordinate with Kelci Leigh Events to time portraits to the perfect light, or work with DJs to capture the energy of the dance floor without missing a beat. Their films are cinematic, their photos are magazine-worthy, and their presence is calm, positive, and reassuring—exactly what you want on your wedding day.

Why Vendor Collaboration Is the Secret to a Seamless Oxford Exchange Wedding
The magic of an Oxford Exchange wedding is in the synergy. When your planner, florist, DJ, and photographer/videographer are in sync, the day flows effortlessly. I’ve seen Kelci coordinate with Botanica to perfect a ceremony arch, or Hernan time a first dance with Grant Hemond’s DJ team to catch the last rays of golden hour. This level of collaboration means you get to relax and immerse yourself in the moment, knowing every detail is handled by experts who care as much as you do.
