Always Eventful

Sometimes the weddings I do, feel like family members weddings!  That was this past weekend’s wedding!  Several years ago, I was blessed to work with Christina’s sister Kathleen on her wedding to Joe.  They were wonderful people and have remained dear friends of mine!  When Christina and Luke were engaged and I was asked to assist in their wedding planning, I knew from day one….it was going to be another special wedding!  A family that is as sweet as they can be, good hearted people that planned a day of fun and family!

Luke was very involved in the planning and I loved that!  He was a great help and I often joked that he was going for Groom of the Year…..tough competition every year, but he definitely is a front runner!  It helps that he has a beautiful and kind bride!  What a wonderful wedding to be a part of – a couple that truly respected each other, had a lot of fun planning and are just all around great people!

The wedding ceremony happened at the Walsh Chapel – Our Lady of Perpetual Help and it was a beautiful ceremony.  The music was magnificent under the direction of music director PJ Chavez!  The wedding reception was at Brookside Country Club…and as always, they shined.  The food was fantastic, the setup was perfect and they are really so accommodating and easy to work with.  David Palmer of Network Sound provided the lighting, Johnnies Bakery the delicious cake.  Neil Leeson was the designer on the floral and décor aspects of the wedding and as always, it was beautiful and exactly what Christina was looking for!  Be Seated handled the chairs and they were fantastic to work with as well.

I am sure I will have pictures to share as well in the future from Carman and Pugh but I wanted to share the Same Day Edit first!  Many thanks to Red Bicycle Media on an outstanding Same Day Edit….these are not easy to produce and this is an outstanding remembrance of a very special day!

Kate and Brian’s wedding at the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club was a true Family Gathering!  Every detail of the wedding day was planned with their family and friends in mind.  They wanted to treat their guests to an evening of wonderful food, great entertainment and lots of fun.  The weather could not have been more beautiful for the outdoor ceremony.

It was my immense pleasure to work with the wonderful staff at the Hunt Club.  They were professional and a lot of fun.  The chef was amazing and created a dining experience that no guest will soon forget.  He even treated all of the hard working vendors to his cuisine and we LOVED it!  The décor was designed by the uber talented Pieter Bouterse and his staff.  The farm tables and their settings were exactly what Kate had envisioned.  Thanks to Vincent lighting and Special Request for the wonderful lighting and entertainment.  The final touch on the evening was the late night ice cream truck that allowed the guests to get an extra special treat!
