Happy Holidays!

No matter what you celebrate this time of year, we want to wish everyone a very happy and safe holiday season. As we reflect on the past year, we have so much to be thankful for.

To our clients...thank you for putting your trust in us to help you with one of the most important days of your life. It's an honor to work so closely with you and to get to know you and your families. At every wedding, there's always a moment that touches our hearts - the look on the bride's face when we send her down the aisle, the couple's first dance when they're lost in each other's eyes, and the heartfelt toast from the father of the bride that brings a tear to our eyes. It's those moments that remind us why we love this job and why we're so lucky to do what we do.

To our vendors...thank you for your partnerships. We've had the pleasure of working with so many creative and talented people, and when we all come together as a team, we're able to create some amazing memories for our clients and their guests. Many of you have become so much more than just colleagues - you've become our friends. You've shown us support in so many ways, and for that, we truly thank you.

And last, but certainly not least, to our husbands, children and families...thank you for your uncompromising love and support. We could not do this job without you. You are the ones in the background - understanding when we work crazy hours; listening to our countless wedding-related stories; assembling invitations, menus, favors, gift bags, and driving all over southeastern Michigan to pick up items and make deliveries for us. You are the ones who love us no matter what, and you are the ones who mean the most to us in this world. We love you and appreciate you more than you'll ever know.

We hope that everyone will take the time to slow down and think about all of the good things in your lives. Our office will be closed for the holidays, and we're looking forward to spending time with our loved ones over the next two weeks and taking time to relax. We'll reopen the office on January 6th, and we're looking forward to working with all of our fabulous clients and vendors. It's going to be a great year!

Real Wedding: Shannon & Keith

Over the summer, we had the honor of planning the very first wedding held at the MGM Grand in Detroit. Shannon and Keith wanted a memorable day for their guests - and that's definitely what they got. During the cocktail hour, wedding guests enjoyed specialty "wedding cake" martinis and hors d'oeuvres in one half of the ballroom, decorated as an all-white lounge. When it was time for dinner, we moved the 350 guests to the other side of the ballroom, which featured Shannon's pink butterfly theme. Once the dancing got underway, we surprised everyone by opening up the wall dividing the room to unveil a transformed hot-pink lounge area.

The videographers, Take 1 Productions, produced a same-day edit video that was showcased in the after-dinner lounge.
