Congratulations to Abby and Doug who were married on September 14, 2012. After their ceremony at the Chapel at Ritz Charles, the reception was underway at the beautiful Artsgarden. Photographer, Karissa Sprinkle, captured the couple's memories and Indy Photo Booth provided their guests with personalized party favors.

Abby and Doug welcomed their guests at the mic and then went straight into their first dance to “Fly me to the Moon” followed by a blessing from Abby's grandfather. After the seated dinner, toasts were given by Maid of Honor, Amanda and Best Man, Ben.

Next, the bride danced to “The Way You Look Tonight”, splitting the song with her mom and grandfather. Then the groom and his mom danced to “Happy Together” followed by the Dollar Dance where Abby and Doug earned some extra honeymoon cash for Jamaica.

Thank you, Megan and Craig, for the opportunity to be a part of your special day on September 1, 2012. After a traditional ceremony at St. Mary's Catholic Church, the couple celebrated their marriage with a reception at WillowbrookCountry Club.

KeriAnn and Chad Wed at Union Station August 25

  

It was my great privilege to serve as host to KeriAnn and Chad at their wedding reception at UnionStation on August 25, 2012. Wedding planner, Deborah Bowman, and photographer, Dennis St. George rounded out the couple's team of vendors for the day.

They had a good feeling about one another early on in their relationship when their frequent emails and phone calls revealed their similar goals and values. This led to Chad's proposal to KeriAnn almost 1 year ago.

After the ceremony at St.Mary's Church, the cocktail reception began followed by the welcome and blessing before the seated meal. After dinner, toasts were given by Maid of Honor, Rachel, and Best Man, Rex. Next, KeriAnn's Dad and Chad took the mic to thank their guests.

The couple then danced their first to Keith Urban's “Only You can Love Me”, and KeriAnn danced with her dad to “A Song for My Daughter” by Ray Allaire. The Mother/Son dance was to Sam Cooke's version of “Wonderful World”.

The guests then enjoyed the open dance floor until the bouquet and garter toss called them to their respective corners. The bride planned a surprise performance for her groom to close out the evening as she serenaded him with their last dance before heading out for their Hawaiian honeymoon.

Congratulations to a great couple! Thanks again for the opportunity to help you celebrate such an important occasion. If you would like help for your next event, please call Jim Cerone at (317) 845-0749 to schedule your appointment.  

Ashley and Jared Wed at Ritz Charles August 18

  

I loved working with Ashley and Jared when hosting their wedding at the Ritz Charles on August 18, 2012. Other vendors helping to complete the couple's team include photographer, Lauren Weghorst and videographer, Dan Lindley with XoomworX.

This couple knew they were headed for marriage- even on their first date! Ashley anticipated Jared's proposal before he could ask while on a trip to Chicago.

The couple's personalized ceremony was seasoned with their favorite musical selections like “Our Love is Here to Stay” and “Just the Way You Are”. They were transitioned to the reception area with a tower of bubbles.

The reception was underway as I announced the wedding party and Ashley and Jared. They were then toasted by Best Man, Bill, and Maid of Honor, Rachel before the seated meal.

The cake was cut to “BeforeYou”, followed by Ashley and Jared's first dance to “Hold On”. Then Ashley danced with her dad to “Have a Little Faith”, and Jared surprised his mom with “I Hope You Dance” for their dance together. Jared's mom had told him of her wish to dance to that song on his wedding day when he was only 8 years old.

The party kicked up from there with crowd favorites like the Dollar Dance, Bouquet/Garter Toss, and “SHOUT”. After a midnight snack, we wound down the party with a few of Ashley and Jared's favorites before sending them off.

Congratulations to a great couple! Thanks again for the opportunity to help you celebrate such an important occasion. If you would like help for your next event, please call Jim Cerone at (317) 845-0749 to schedule your appointment. 

Luisa and Chris Wed at Union Station August 4

  

Thanks to Luisa and Chris for allowing me to be a part of your special day at Union Station on August 4, 2012. Photographer, Nathaniel Edmunds, video by CopyPaste, Happy Snaps Photo Booth, reception décor by CCD &EvansAV, and planners Darcie and Ashley rounded out a successful wedding day team.

Luisa and Chris's relationship was written in the stars when they met during a lunar eclipse while serving on the student patrol at Purdue. Chris brought Luisa back to the very same spot to propose where she gave him her answer of YES before he could even ask the question.

The couple were married in a traditional ceremony at the Scottish Rite Theater and then trolleyed with their guests to the party. Luisa's dad welcomed guests and blessed the seated meal after the couple and wedding party were formally introduced.

Toasts were made by Best Man, Corey and Maid of Honor, Tiffany after Luisa and Chris cut their cake. The couple performed a choreographed dance to “At Last” followed by father/daughter and mother/ son dances respectively.

Guests then enjoyed the party leading up to crowd pleasers like bouquet/garter toss, and the recognition of special guests in attendance. Luisa and Chris wished Luisa's mom, Josephina, a Happy Birthday as well as celebrating Cliff and Kim's anniversary before we sent them off to enjoy their St. Lucia honeymoon. Congrats!
