The couple danced their first as husband and wife to “Fly Me To The Moon” followed by the father/ daughter dance to “I'll Be Seeing You” and mother/son to “My Wish”.  The couple's guests them enjoyed the open dance floor celebrating their friends' union.

Leslie tossed her bouquet to singel ladies in attendance to “Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie” and Dominick tossed the garter to “Sharp Dressed Man” before the New Year's Countdown Clock was initiated at 11:30.

Guests were provided with party hats and streamers to help bring in the New Year, and Leslie and Dominick were sent off into 2013 to “The Party's Over”.

Danielle and Andrew Wed The Conrad November 16

A sincere thanks to Danielle and Andrew for the privilege of hosting your wedding at the Conrad on November 16, 2012. Other vendors compiling the day's successful team include: Planner April Foster, Photographer Esther Boston, Videographer Ben from BDP, and flowers from The Design Group.

This happy couple probably should have met long before they did while both attending Ball State, but it took a while for their introduction to stick.  Andrew proposed over dinner while they enjoyed the view of Monument Circle.

After the ceremony, Andrew and Danielle and wedding party were introduced to “Good Life”.  The meal was blessed by Rev. Fuquay and guests were served dinner.  Toasts were then offered by Best Man, Abe and Maid of Honor, Tiffany.

Once the meal concluded, the newlyweds took the dancefloor for the first time to “I Do”.  Then the bride danced with her father to “Let Me Be” and the groom danced with his mother to “A Song for Mama”.  Guests were then free to enjoy the dance floor for the duration of the evening.

Thanks again and congratulations to Andrew and Danielle!  If you would like help for your next event, please call Jim Cerone at (317) 845-0749 to schedule your appointment.

I was honored to serve as host to Katie and Greg's guests on their November 10, 2012 wedding at the Columbia Club.  Florist Louise McClenick, Videographer Brenda Weininger, and Photographers from Captured Memories rounded out the couple's vendor team. 

This extraordinary match was made by the bride's sister who is happy to take credit for their union.  A year later, after a very lengthy conversation with her parents, Greg asked for Katie's hand in marriage. 

After the ceremony, guests were invited to the 3rd floor for the cocktail reception while the couple finished their photos.  Then dinner was served on the 10th floor at the main reception.  Friends of the couple, Damick, Josh, Joe, Abby, Bethany, and Jessie all offered heartfelt toasts as the cake was cut. 

Then the couple danced their first to “Cowboys and Angels” followed by the bride and her father taking the floor to “Wind Beneath My Wings”, and the groom and his mother to “What a Wonderful World”.  After enjoying the open dance floor for a while, Katie tossed her bouquet to “Single Ladies” and Greg removed the garter to “Oh Yeah”.

The party continued to the big finish with “Time of My Life” until the main reception ended and the real partiers were invited to join the couple in their after party in the French Room.  Congratulations, Katie and Greg!
