Wedding in Downtown Grand Rapids at The Rutledge
The rutledge | Grand Rapids, michigan

Nichole + Michael
What fun way to lead these two from their wedding at The Rutledge in downtown Grand Rapids to their cocktail hour at Peppino’s. My favorite type of wedding is one where both partners are involved in the planning, and Nichole and Michael were an absolute joy to work with.
Michael and the guys relaxed in the leather clad speakeasy suite of the Rutledge while the girl’s got ready in a historic home in EGR. I loved Nichole’s pearl details from her heels to her part slides.
We had a perfect day in May to be outdoors for both the wedding party photos, and to lead the couple and their guests from the ceremony to cocktails.
Guests arrived back to a completely transformed space and danced the night away to the dynamic Funktastic band. Nichole and her girls are my bridesmaids of choice, and Michael can choose my bar package for our weddings any day.
