Mikaella Miller and Aaron Smith were a lovely couple to work with. They were married on 11.11.11 at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel with a reception at Pine Ridge Country Club in Willoughby, Ohio. The date was very special to couple and all the other amazing couples able to get married on this special day.  The ceremony was traditional Catholic with a not so traditional reception to follow.  The reception had an enchanted feel with feather centerpieces and candelabras and a cake with an ice dragon made by About the Cake.  Aaron LOVED the cake and Mikaella couldn’t have been happier with her favorite band playing, the Boilermaker Band.

The wedding also had so fun features such as a photo-booth by Redeye Photo Booth and a warm bar, which was served later in the evening. The warm bar included hot chocolate, coffee, and cherry apple cider, which is the couple’s absolute favorite fall drink.

 
 
Special thanks to the other vendors that helped make this special day happen:
Z Media for photography, Tuthills in Mentor for the flowers, and Rock The House for the beautiful lighting.
 



 


Jackie and Richie were married on June 23, 2012. The wedding had so many fun aspects to it and the vintage theme turned out wonderful! So many important people to the couple helped make this day possible. The wedding took place at a friends beautiful home overlooking Lake Erie in Bratenahl located right next to the Shoreby Club. Although the couple did not hire a photographer they had many friends and family members helping them capture the important moments of the day.  With such a beautiful sunset over the lake, we were all snapping some great pics!  The ceremony was officiated by a friend of the couple.  To go with their vintage theme the Bride and her Mother took care of the centerpieces planting flowers in all different types of jars and cans.  The Mother of the Bride even purchased some adorable jars with battery operated lighting bugs inside that lit up the night.  Duet Catering did a great job keeping with the vegan food the Bride requested, and even a few meat choices were added in for the Groom. 
 
Other things we loved:
the "man" of honor
the brides short dress & choice of Toms for her shoes
the use of Hodge Podge for the all different vintage chairs
the paraplane that flew over the guest waving just before the ceremony began

Mardi Gras themed Wedding!

It was such a pleasure to be a part of Cassie and Jeff’s wedding day.  Cassie’s loving heart and eye for organization is going to make her a great doctor.  In the weeks leading up to the wedding this couple’s life was a whirlwind of changes with Cassie and Jeff moving back to Ohio and in to their new apartment in Downtown Cleveland as well as Cassie starting her residency at University Hospital.  You would never know how busy they had been because when this wedding finally got here it was all excitement and fun. 

This Mardi Gras themed wedding at Windows on the River was a blast for everyone involved.  Everything was a buzz around this couples wedding reception as the Cleveland Rib Burn Off was going on just outside the doors.  St. Stephens Catholic Church was a perfect location for the couples ceremony with each of their sisters singing as a special part of the ceremony.  Cassie and Jeff were cool, calm, and collected, just having a great time all day long.  Even when the cake cutter broke while cutting the cake it just made for a great laugh.  Congratulations to this adorable couple!!


Some things we loved:

  • street sign table numbers
  • the Mardi Gras themed card box made by Cassie’s mother
  • amazing banana fosters dessert station
  • the gold chiavari chairs from Let's Entertain
  • Cassie’s beautiful makeup by the amazing JKelly Face Art
  • The amazing pictures downtown taken by Corey Ann Photography, especially the one in the back of the police car!
  • the adorable sweetheart table in the center of it all with candles placed perfectly behind them
