Some couples just get each other. They finish each other's sentences, read each other's minds, and navigate life as absolute best friends. For Jorge and Jessica Rivas, that effortless connection was the heartbeat of their wedding day.
From a modern-day meet-cute to a high-energy festival proposal, their journey led them to A Simple Affair, where they proved that "simple" can still be incredibly chic, deeply romantic, and a whole lot of fun.
The Beginning: From Tinder Swipes to Main Stage Vibes
In true modern fashion, Jorge and Jessica’s story began with a swipe on Tinder. It didn't take long for them to realize they had found their person. Fast forward to the summer of 2024 at the Hard Summer music festival—amidst the bass and the energy of a Bolo set, Jorge dropped to one knee. Jessica said "YES!" in the most electric way possible, setting the tone for a lifetime of adventure together.
The Vision: Vegas, Chic, and Romantic
When it came to planning their big day, the couple knew they wanted a vibe that felt like them: Vegas, Chic, and Romantic. They opted for a timeless black-and-white color palette that perfectly complemented the industrial-elegant bones of our venue.
Despite planning everything online, Jessica raved about how seamless the process was: "Honestly, A Simple Affair is the best. We did everything online and they still made everything so easy. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Love, love, love A Simple Affair!"
Personal Touches: A Nod to the Neon City
Jessica and Jorge infused their personalities into every corner of the room. Their welcome sign was designed as a playing card—the perfect nod to Las Vegas—and their table numbers featured iconic Vegas hotels.
Beyond the glitz, there were deeply sentimental touches. The couple honored their family history by displaying photos of Jorge’s grandmother and Jessica’s great-grandfather, ensuring their loved ones were there in spirit as they began their new chapter.
The Party: Tacos, Donuts, and Late-Night Ramen
The energy of the night was unmatched. While the couple’s first dance was the most emotional and memorable moment for them, the reception was a certified hit for the guests.
The food was the talk of the night, featuring a lineup of crowd favorites:
The Main Event: Delicious tacos.
The Sweet Stuff: A must-have donut wall.
The Crowd Pleaser: Late-night ramen bowls (the ultimate way to refuel after a night on the dance floor!).
Between the "must-have" photo booth and the music curated by our house DJ, the dance floor stayed packed until the very end.

When asked for her pro-tip for couples currently planning their Las Vegas nuptials, Jessica kept it simple and sweet: "Book with A Simple Affair."
