lasting impressions weddings is an award-winning minnesota wedding planning and design company

I am sure its no surprise when you look at Leigh’s infectious smile that I loved working with her and Matt to plan their Summer Wedding at Minikahda Club in Minneapolis. The couple was sweet, bubbly and so thoughtful throughout the whole planning process.

While I have worked many weddings at Minikahda Club in the past, this was the first time I had a ceremony on the  lawn and we could not have asked for a better day!! With the beautiful backdrop of Lake Calhoun in the background Leigh and Matt said their vows and then guests proceeded to the rooftop deck for Cocktail Hour. The amazing dinner was topped off by Cake From Farina Bakery and the guests then danced the night away!

As I go through photos of Riley and Shane’s Lafayette Club Summer Wedding it makes me have a deep craving to get back to weddings and the lake!! It also makes me realize how much gathering is how our culture has been taught to celebrate. Riley and Shane invited well over 350 guests to their wedding and they both had large wedding parties!! My philosophy has always been the more the merrier and I am sure that when we are able to return to celebrating weddings when COVID passes I will appreciate the large gatherings even more!

Riley and Shane were amazing to work with and I was also so happy to work with a great group of vendors on this wedding!! The photos do not show the July Heat that this bride and groom and wedding party stood in all day.. they were real troopers!! Blush, Champange and Greenery complimented the Lafayette Club Ballroom.. a classic combination.

Lafayette Club Wedding

Not all weddings day bring sunshine and great weather, and that is exactly what happened on Ashley and Tommy’s wedding day at Lafayette Club in June! But it would take a little bit more then rain to stop this group from celebrating! After a morning of heavy rain the skies cleared up just in time to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the lawn at Lafayette Club followed by photos on shore of Lake Minnetonka!
