Congratulations Ricky and Jessica

 

This fun-loving couple picked the perfect venue for their wedding, a brewing company!  To tie-in with the brewery’s wood decor, the couple had wood lanterns, a wood base for their cake and wood slices under the floral centerpieces. When it came to dancing, you always knew where to find Jessica; on the dance floor.  This couple’s friends and family were as much fun as they were, and you could see it in our photo booth pictures. Some of them are hilarious! After a great wedding, the newlyweds ran through sparklers and headed off. Congratulations Jessica and Ricky!

Congratulations Alex and Kristin

 

 

What a fun and interesting wedding day for this beach loving couple! They got married on the Tall Ship Elissa and the reception followed on the pier.  With the beautiful ship being the backdrop, minimal decorations were required. The ivory tablecloths, blush napkins and sage green bridesmaid’s dresses were all that was necessary for the location.  Of course, the three-tiered delicious cake had ivory and blush pink floral accents.

One unique aspect of the day was the acoustic guitar music, played by Dave Fenley.  You may have seen him on season 15 of The Voice or season 8 of America’s Got Talent.  Alex and Kristin met at one of Dave’s shows, so they flew him out to their wedding to perform the ceremony music and the first dance.  Later, Dave and Ferdy took turns between Dave playing music live and Ferdy playing recorded.  That was new to us and was such fun!  We found Dave to be humble, kind, and an all-around great guy.  Later in the evening, a 45-minute downpour sent everyone running for cover and ended the reception early, but Kristin and Alex still had the best time of their lives.  Congratulations Alex and Kristin!

Congratulations Jacob and Amanda

It was a beautiful day for Amanda and Jacob’s wedding reception at the historic Garten Verein.  For a clean, pretty look, the tables had white floor-length tablecloths with centerpieces of candles atop greenery.  The wedding colors were teal with gold accents, so the bridal party wore floor-length teal gowns while the groomsmen were in tan tuxedos.  The delicious 3-tiered wedding cake was white with pink and cream flower accents and it had gold ribbon running around the bottom of each tier.  There was a Grand March which was so large that they had to take it outside before coming back into the ballroom’s dance floor.  What a fun crowd!  After a night of fun, the newlyweds had a private last dance before running through a tunnel of waving glowsticks.  Congratulations Jacob and Amanda!

Congratulations Reagan and Melissa


We had such fun with this couple! From the Millennium Falcon guest book to Reagan’s light saber bouquet handle to their entrance and exit through a tunnel of wedding party members holding lit-up light sabers, Melissa and Reagan made sure everything reflected their interests. To the Moon and Back was a phrase the couple shared, so they had a moon-shaped photo booth backdrop and cake topper.  The centerpieces held beautiful blue glass stars with candles inside and each table had a name of a planet.  Their sweetheart table, of course, was the Moon table.

Were Reagan and Melissa content with a traditional wedding cake?  Of course not!  The main wedding cake was actually cheesecake, and their second cake was a display of doughnuts.  Yum!!  To top that, there was a candy table for guests to enjoy. People tend to think smaller weddings mean no dancing, but that was not true with this group!  There was fun dancing all night long.  When the newlyweds made their exit, they headed off in a horse-drawn carriage.  Congratulations to Melissa and Reagan!

Congratulations Rob and Kelly


This fun-loving couple opted for a Mardi Gras theme for their wedding and I loved it!  From the wedding colors of purple and green to Mardi Gras themed Covid mask favors, they thought of it all.  Around the Mardi Gras themed centerpieces, there were gold and purple favor boxes filled with candy.  To tie in with the theme, Kelly’s three tiered wedding cake had a Mardi Gras mask as the topper.  Of course, the groom’s cake was a king
cake, and it was topped by a Mardi Gras mask and beads.  Our photo booth was a hit and the guests enjoyed our custom-made Mardi Gras themed signs.

One of the highlights of the evening was Kelly’s father’s toast.  It was a poem he wrote and it was so funny: everyone loved it!  Instead of a formal exit at the end of the night, this couple opted to stay, keep dancing and say goodbye to their guests.  Everyone had a great time and we wish our best to the newlyweds.  Congratulations Rob and Kelly!

Congratulations Kyle and Emma


This wedding reception, with the colors of blue, was beautiful!  The tables alternated between three different centerpieces, all with white and blue flowers or candles. The table runners and napkins were all in blue to match.  I loved Emma’s dress.  It was all white satin with no embellishments: it was elegant and gorgeous, with a beautiful bustle.  Her bridal party wore floor-length blue dresses and they all carried white and blue floral bouquets.

When it was dance time, the guests were on the dance floor from the first song to the last.  What a great crowd!  At one point, they had Kyle in a chair and lifted him up in the air.  To add to the party atmosphere, our photo booth always had people in it, taking fun photos.  For a unique touch, there was a phone guest book.  Guests picked up the older desk phone and talked into it, leaving a message for Emma and Kyle.  The phone recorded the messages and they will then be put on a record for the newlyweds to keep.  I’ve never seen that before and I loved it!

The guests enjoyed Emma’s four-tiered, delicious, white cake, accented with white and blue flowers.  Kyle’s Fantasy Football cake looked like a football field and it was a hit as well.  After a romantic, private last dance, this sweet pair headed off to their new life as a married couple.  Congratulations Kyle and Emma!

Congratulations Chris and Victoria

This couple’s reception took place in the beautiful Garten Verein.  The historic location was perfect for a couple who loves The Legend of Zelda, a fantasy video game.  The three-tiered, white, stacked cake matched the wedding colors of burgundy and pastels, as it had burgundy and pale pink flowers draping down the front.  Chris’ cake was pumpkin flavored and everyone loved that as well.  To tie in with her love for Zelda, Victoria wore a floral wreath on her head and her long hair trailed down her back in a loose braid.

To give the reception a warm glow, we had our amber uplights around the room.  We also provided a photo booth and Victoria loved it: I think she was in it from the time it opened to the time it closed!  After a fun night, the newlyweds stayed to say farewell to their guests before heading out.  Congratulations Victoria and Chris!

Congratulations Vince and Laura

This wedding reception took place at a perfect venue.  Not only did the floor-to-ceiling walls of windows offer great views, but the weather was gorgeous.  The wedding colors were burgundy and white and they were reflected in the guest tables.  The tables had white cloths topped with burgundy napkins and the centerpieces had burgundy candles.  The two-tiered white cake was accented with burgundy flowers.

This crowd was great!  They danced from the first song to the last, and Laura and Vince spent plenty of time dancing as well. This couple wanted a lot of 80’s music, and I loved that! (The guests all loved it too!) At some points, the dance floor overflowed onto the carpet!  When the night ended, the newlyweds changed their clothes and went down to the Boardwalk to spend more time with their family and friends.  Congratulations Vince and Laura!
