This past weekend brought an end to my 2024 wedding season. A Season that started in March and ended in December. I did a total of 19 weddings this year. Thank you to all the Brides and Grooms that chose me to be a part of your special day. I hope that I helped create some special memories for you and your guest. Thank you to all the Venues and other vendors I worked with throughout the year.
A special thanks goes out my fiancé and my daughters for supporting what I do while I am gone on the weekends. Being gone some Friday nights and all of Saturday sure makes for a lonley house. Not to mention the nights I have to be gone for the meetings leading up to the weddings. It takes a special person to put up with what I do. So thank you Amy!

I look forward to the 2025 wedding season. It’s starting to fill up quick. But it’s time for a few weeks off and some much needed family time!
Peace out 2024!

Congratulations to the DeMarlie’s! They eloped back in October and held their reception with family and friends this past weekend. They got married at a National Park and carried that theme during the reception. Lots of good times and lots of dancing with this group! Thank you for having me be a part of your day!

Congratulations to the Osborne’s! They held their reception at McCormick Event Center. No attention to detail was spared. Lots of surprises along the way. From a flash mob dance to a singing performance by the groom for the first dance and a few more. A Tarantella dance in honor of the Italian heritage. The guest was even wowed by a fireworks display outside. The whole reception was a grand display of love by everyone in attendance. The dance floor was the spot to be all night. This was the biggest wedding I have had the pleasure of being a part of. It was a great honor to be asked to be a Vendor. Thank you to Terry and Katy for having me be a part of your day.

The list of the other amazing vendors that I know of. There are more that I don’t know. If I missed any I apologize.

Congratulations going out to the Smith’s. The reception and ceremony was held at the Lake Carroll Lodge. The ceremony was held on the back deck overlooking the ski hills. Lots of unique and iconic events took place during the evening. The Groom’s being dog lovers, had each of the bridesmaids walk down the aisle with dogs looking for a “fur-ever” from a local shelter. The dessert table had some “special “ treats. Following the Formal dances, the guest were treated to an exciting Drag show from 2 high energy queens! The energy carried onto the dance floor as the guest danced the night away. Thank you to the Smith’s for having me be a part of your special Day!
