Surprise of a Lifetime
The surprise of a lifetime🌿
This father of the bride came to me requesting assistance, hoping to surprise his daughter and new husband with a special first dance sung by the lead singer of her favorite band The Greeting Committee - Addie
They’re a local band, but also world renowned and featured in Netflix’s movie To All The Boys: Always & Forever
With some detailed planning and a little “fibbing” to the couple, we were able to pull it off and give them the best wedding surprise!
A huge thank you to Greg with Party It Up Entertainment for EVERYTHING you did to help us make this happen.
Addie, I can’t say how appreciative we are that you were willing to come and do this performance for such a deserving couple. Thank you!!
The day of love🌿

Unfortunately it is pretty common that a bride gets approached with questions about the wedding by assuming people that are not on the guest list. Here are some things you could say to them (hint, not this reel sound bite)🌿
🌿Our wedding venue has a constricted amount of space that doesn’t allow for everyone in our lives to be in attendance.
🌿Rather than having a large guest count, we decided to only invite a small number of people so that we can focus on spending more of the wedding budget on the details that matter most to me.
🌿Due to budget constraints, only our family members and closest friends are invited to the wedding.
🌿As much as we’d love to invite everyone to our wedding, we have ultimately decided to keep the guest count intimate.
🌿My fiance and I are paying for the wedding ourselves, and unfortunately we cannot afford to have everyone present. We’d love to catch up with you sometime, though.
🌿Our families are paying for the wedding. Out of respect for them, we have decided to keep the guest count small.
A little “behind the scenes” during our shoot at The Grid on Main🌿
We got our photos in from Rose Arrow Photography LLC today and I’m super excited to share them with everyone throughout the coming year!
