Thank you to Brittain's Princess Parties for hosting Rapunzel’s Totally Tangled Painting Party — it was truly the Best Day Ever! We loved seeing all of the Little Princesses, the Decorations, Artwork, and the awesome team you brought to pull this party off! And great job to Pop, Drop & Party for the colorful balloon arch that was so perfect for this event. We can’t wait until next time! ❄️⛄️
A few candids from our FriYay Funday with 🌿 Kayla & Matthew | 4 • 19 • 24 🌿First Wedding on the North Patio of the Season was a success, and what beautiful day it was! Not to mention, two sweet families celebrating these two! A little bit of a scare for the Rehearsal Thursday night with a🌪️ warning, making a quick visit to the West Hall basement, but otherwise, a perfect celebration! 💍🥂 #ivybellandco 📸
✨Brittany & Jeremy | 4•6•24 We love it when a plan comes together, especially when the details are specific — makes the day go so much smoother! Your family and friends were amazing, involved & helpful, and seeing their shared love & joy for you both, was the icing on the cake! Congrats you two! 🥂
We wanted to wish a Happy 4 Year Anniversary to Sarah & Jonathan, who got married at Olde Wicks on 2•29•20! Thanks to Siarra Brinker Photography for doing such an amazing job capturing their special day! Cheers to 4 years! 🥂
Sometimes when the decorations are so beautiful and the couple is so sweet and fun-loving, you just have to post the amateur iPhone pics ahead of time before the professional gallery is ready. We absolutely enjoyed hosting this special day for Kelly & Tyler, and their amazing family & friends! And having the live band “All Mixed Up” was an added bonus. 🎺🎸Congrats to all and thanks for choosing the OWF! 🥂🍾
It was our first time hosting the Fabulous Motown Revue at The Olde Wicks Factory, and as a sold out event, we are going to call it a success! 😅 Thanks to Johnny Busby for kicking things off during cocktail hour, Cygan- Delaney Catering for the amazing meal, and PhotoHub for all of the fun pics capturing the mood of the night! 💃🏻🕺🏻❤️🖤🤍
