Morgan + Dave: Joyful, Fun, Magical New York Wedding

I cannot believe that it has been a full year since we celebrated Morgan + Dave! The day started with torrential downpours that had the entire vendor team a little nervous, but by the time the ceremony rolled around, the sun was breaking through over the breathtaking Manhattan skyline as they were married by their dear friend on The Bordone’s rooftop terrace. I watched their ceremony in pure awe as the skyline literally glittered in the post-rain sunshine - it was just meant to be. So much love to the Formans, happy anniversary! - Olivia

Kevin + Brandon: Detailed, Moving, Thoughtful Chicago Wedding

The day Kevin and Brandon got married was a picture perfect fall day in Chicago. The sun was beaming, there was not a cloud in the sky, and you could just feel that it was going to be a special day. These two have so much love for one another, but also have amazing friends and family that love and support them as well; this really shined through on their wedding day.

I knew from the moment I met Kevin and Brandon (and found out that their first dance song was a remixed version of my favorite Beyonce song) that I was going to love working with them. I am so honored that the two of them entrusted me to help make their special day all that they had dreamed it would be.

They were incredibly organized, detail oriented and thoughtful of each and every guest that was attending. PLUS, they did not disappoint with their entertainment. A live band, Filipiniana dancers, a salsa lesson AND an incredibly choreographed first dance! This was such a fun wedding to be involved with and it was so special to see everyone having a truly magical time celebrating Kevin and Brandon!

Cheers to many more incredible memories, you two!

Sarah + Ryan: Bright, Retro, Unique Chicago Wedding

Sarah and Ryan are one of those couples that when you meet them you know it is going to be a good time. When I first met Sarah, she explained that her and Ryan's romance was comparable to that of a Harry met Sally whirlwind type of love.

They met many years back in Chicago's comedy scene doing stand-up comedy together. They went on one date and ended up going their separate ways. Since they both were heavily involved in the comedy scene, they had many mutual friends and saw each other from time to time.

Fast forward to February 2021 when they were hanging out with a mutual friend who strategically decided to give them some alone time. They immediately hit it off, got engaged 7 months later, bought a condo, and tied the knot on a beautiful October day in 2022. With such a supportive and fun-loving community, these two will have a lifetime of love and laughter to come!
