Congratulations Molly & Scott!

Congrats to the newlyweds!


Molly & Scott
August 23, 2008

Molly and Scott had an absolutely beautiful setting on Put In Bay for their wedding and reception. The church was small and beautiful, and they had a packed house for the ceremony! The reception was on the pavilion at the Crews Nest, and the chocolate/pink/ivory color combination was really gorgeous! The DJ kept the dance floor packed with everyone's favorite tunes, and I saw some crazy dances that I'd never seen before! A sentimental moment was when Molly's father made an announcement about a sailing flag they had made specially for the occasion. They had flown it on their sailboat for several days before the wedding, and then asked everyone in attendance to sign it. It said "Congratulations, Molly & Scott, Just Married". A truly beautiful evening!

Thank you Molly and Scott for allowing my staff and I to be a part of your wedding day! Your wedding party and family were all so gracious and friendly, and you two are the sweetest couple! I wish you many years of happiness, and have a wonderful honeymoon!

Congratulations Lori & Ryan!

Lori & Ryan had a small wedding in a hut at Kalahari in Sandusky. The Michigan couple came in for a vacation and decided to make things official! It was a sweet and tear filled ceremony that I was glad to attend (first time seeing a groom cry)! All the best to you both...

Congratulations Carey & Kevin

What a super adorable couple! Carey looked completely glamourous! It was standing room only for the outdoor ceremony! The DJ's played a great mix of music and the dance floor was packed all night. Banks Photography put on an incredible slideshow of their ceremony photos and wedding party photos that they had just taken a few hours before. Amazing work! This wedding actually made me tear up a few times (during the ceremony is when the waterworks started, then the Maid and Matron of Honor's toasts, and finally Carey dancing with her father). It was all so touching!

Carey and Kevin, it was a pleasure to be a part of your beautiful wedding. I hope you have a wonderful trip to the Bahamas, and may you be blessed with a life of happiness together!

Carey & Kevin

Swingos Grand Tavern

I recently had the opportunity to meet with Melody Swingos of Swingos Grand Tavern in Avon Lake. I toured the restaurant and Terrace Room, and what a beautiful place it is for events! The modern style, neutral color pallet and wide range of food and wine selections all blend to create the perfect atmosphere and backdrop for any event. I look forward to having one of my Monthly Mixer's there soon! Some photos are posted below, and you can check their website for more photos and info!

Event Planners Reception @ Marriott Key Center

Last night I had the pleasure of attending an event planner's reception at the Marriott Key Center in downtown Cleveland. It was absolutely stunning! The newly remodeled ballroom was set up with the newest and trendiest decor, the food samples were phenomenal, and I had the opportunity to meet some really great people in the event industry. Thanks to those of you whom I had the pleasure to meet, and especially to Shannon Harris for putting on the fabulous event. See some of the photos below!
