It’s Spring and wedding season is upon us (Or hopefully coming soon!!!!) I wanted to share one of the most fun weddings I planned last year! Jennifer and Kyle’s Summer Interlachen Country Club wedding!!! Jen and Kyle started planning what would have been a pretty “traditional wedding” and then I got the call one day from Jen asking what my thoughts were on a little bit more of an unconventional wedding. She wanted to have a smaller ceremony that included just family and close friends and then she wanted to have a really fun wedding reception at Interlachen Country Club.  I loved the idea and I love the idea of doing anything different!!!

Unique elements that we included were different sized tables throughout the reception to give more of a cocktail reception flow. AMPLE food stations including a raw bar, sliders, and fries, a chef created pasta station, tons of different desserts and SO much more!!! As the guests were bouncing between stations they were entertained by Rocket Man Dueling Pianos, which was a great touch for another unique element!

The Greatest honor I have as a wedding planner is having the opportunity to get to know a couple’s family and getting to work with them not once, but twice!! I had the joy of helping the Sutter Family plan Jordan’s wedding a few years ago, so when I got the call that Kelsey was engaged and needed assistance I was so excited!!

Kelsey was planning the wedding while in graduate school in Nebraska, so she started very early securing the best vendors and had no problem pin pointing the look she wanted for her Classic Depot Minneapolis wedding. Her mother Anne is one of the most organized and talented mothers I have had the pleasure to work with. There is nothing that her glue gun can not conquer 🙂

The day was perfect and filled with so much energy, excitement and celebration! Kelsey and Connor, thank you for letting me celebrate with you and your family not once, but twice!!

When I look at photos of Christine and Mike’s Wedding day.. all I can think of is Fun!! From the beginning of the planning all the way to the minute I left the dance.. the wedding and planning was so much fun and full of energy!! Christine and Mike picked Aria for their wedding venue and it was such a perfect spot for this fun couple that loved Music and Minneapolis!! They wanted the day to be easy for their guests and to serve good food, good drinks and have lots of good music.. and that is just what we got when we hired Casablanca Orchestra, Instant Request and Damico Catering.. It was a none stop party celebrating this lovely couple!!!
