Evergreen Estate
How a premier wedding venue created unforgettable reception experiences and became the most-referred venue in their region.
!The Challenge
Evergreen Estate is a stunning 50-acre property that hosts 80+ weddings annually. Event Director Amanda Chen noticed that while couples loved their venue, something was missing from the reception experience.
“Weddings had become formulaic. Cocktail hour, dinner, toasts, dancing. Every venue offers the same thing. Couples would tell us the day was beautiful, but when we asked what made it memorable, they struggled to point to something unique.”
Amanda also faced a referral challenge. While satisfied couples would recommend Evergreen, they didn't have a compelling way to share their experience. Social media posts from guests were scattered and rarely tagged the venue.
“We needed something that would get every guest involved, create spontaneous moments, and give couples a reason to rave about us to their engaged friends.”
✓The Solution
Evergreen Estate integrated CrowdPics as a signature part of every wedding package. The photo wall became as essential as the cake table or DJ booth.

A Moment That Says It All
At a recent wedding, the grandmother of the bride - who had never taken a selfie in her life - was convinced by her great-granddaughter to take a photo together. When it appeared on the big screen, the entire reception erupted in cheers. The bride later told Amanda it was the most memorable moment of her wedding.
“That's what CrowdPics does,” Amanda explains. “It creates these spontaneous, genuine moments that no wedding planner could script. Guests who would never dance together end up posing together. It breaks down barriers and brings generations together.”

“I got more candid photos from the CrowdPics wall than from our professional photographer. The angles guests captured were incredible.”
“My dad doesn't do photos. Period. But when he saw his brother's photo up on screen, he grabbed him for a selfie. First photo together in 20 years.”
