Leslie and Dominick Wed at Tudor Room December 31

Thanks to Leslie and Dominick for allowing me to serve as host to their wedding at Indiana University's Tudor Room on New Year's Eve 2012.  Shelia White of She Designs took the photographs and Perfect Parties provided a Photo Booth, while flowers were arranged by Artful Bloom.

The IU Alum couple were married in the Beck Chapel in a small ceremony witnessed by wedding party and family.  Leslie's father, Dan welcomed their guests at the start of the cocktail reception before the bagpiper led them into the formal reception.

 

Toasts honoring Leslie and Dominick were given by Best Man, Sean and Maid of Honor, Kate.  Next, Leslie's Uncle Mike delivered a blessing and all guests were invited to enjoy the meal, and the cake was cut.

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”.

Congratulations  and Happy New Year to Leslie and Dominick!  If you would like help for your next event, please call Jim Cerone at (317) 845-0749 to schedule your appointment.

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.
