Michele and Steve tied the knot! This wedding presented many enchanting and intimate moments throughout the planning process. My dear friend Amy and I offered up our services to create a day of splendor for the happy couple. With Michele and Steve’s individual vision and plenty of creative juices, this wedding turned out to be one of the most rewarding I have planned yet. But what was truly amazing, was how Michele and Steve’s sincere happiness chased away the rain clouds and created a magical day full of hope, love and generosity.
Reception Venue
Michele and Steve are of kindred spirits. Their love for the outdoors and natural beauties was reflected in their choice of reception venue: the Bertha Brock Lodge. The natural appeal of such simple beauty was unquestionable. The lodge created an intimate feel of warmth and love that was carried on throughout the night. This venue allowed Michele and Steve as well as their guest to enjoy the true meaning of such an important commitment to each other and the families which surround them.
Photography
As you all know, I could not sing enough praises about my dear friend Amy and her work as a photographer. For the day of the wedding Amy’s services were used elsewhere, as Michele’s wonderful matron of honor. Fortunately, Amy’s assistant Angie Brooks was just as amazing as Michele had hoped for. Angie was able to turn intimate and private moments into memories that will last a lifetime. She was able to capture the beauty of nature and the bliss of Michele and Steve’s love and create simple yet striking images throughout the wedding day. All pictures of Steve and Michele alone are of the work of Amy Carroll but the rest of the collage was the artistic works of Angie.
DJ Entertainment
I am always loyal to vendors who are committed to excellence and communication. Dave and Deb from Thunder Mountain are just that. For Michele and Steve’s wedding, Thunder Mountain fashioned fun and relaxed entertainment throughout the wedding night. They happily took casual request for music and created a dancing celebration full of laughter and fun.
Bar Services
To set an appropriate feel for any wedding, a bar that is customized to each individual couple’s vision is necessary. Bars by Butch offered Michele and Steve the unique and relaxed feel that they were looking for. With excellent quality of service, Bars by Butch surpassed the happy couple’s expectations and led the night into a realm of freedom and splendor.
Decor
For Michele and Steve’s table choices we decided to go with a square table. Square tables are a great way to bring about a modern appeal to any wedding and location. Square tables also offer efficient use of space when the guest are abundant in numbers.
