It’s one thing to plan weddings for someone whom I just met or for a familiar face: it’s another thing when it’s your sister. This tested me in more ways than one, both personally and professionally - in the end, I wouldn’t change a thing!

We absolutely love showcasing the Conservatory at Downtown Market. Jessica and Walker’s intimate ceremony was the first time Downtown Market set up on a circular setting. It was the perfect setup providing the best views of not only the couple but highlighting the amazing greenery surrounding them. It was like our own slice of paradise in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Lots of couples take photos on this iconic bridge, but few have had their literal wedding on the Blue Bridge in Grand Rapids. Lauren and Felix hit all the historic spots in downtown from the Blue Bridge, Amway Grand Plaza, the Civic Auditorium and the Grand Rapids Art Museum.

Hello all the pretty details! Robin and Kosta’s travel loving elegant wedding with a dash of Grecian flair was perfect thanks to a multitude of vendors. From the flawless design by Rhiannon Bosse to the picturesque backdrop of the Downtown Market, every moment was purposefully planned.

We moved Matt and Andrea’s wedding to the green mountain sides of Asheville, North Carolina, where even they gave Beer City a run for their money.

The Lit was a perfect backdrop for their intimate ceremony right on the stage. The black curtains and vibrant flowers made an amazing setting, all captured by Arielle Teft Photography.

Greenhouse weddings make you feel like you’re in the midst of a warm tropical paradise, even if there’s snow falling outside. And we love how the backdrop in Downtown Market is a perfect slice of jungle nestled in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Never have I ever had a wedding with a bride-bib, cat heads and sharks on a cake. Just kidding! Yes I have! The touches in Dylan + Megan’s wedding gave my branding soul LIFE & shows the perfect way in how to blanket your day with details.

What a way to wrap up 2019! Hannah and I had talked about evergreen velvet bridesmaid dresses from the very beginning, and they were everything and more! The soft elegance went perfectly with the old Hollywood glam style of Venue3Two.

Sometimes we’re with couples from day 1. Sometimes we’re brought in ½ way through, and sometimes we’re called up at the tail end of the planning process. No matter where the timeline falls, we always work to help with whatever the couple needs from whatever point they’re at!

We love when California couples traverse over from the sunshine state to celebrate here on the third coast. The warmth followed Kelsey and Katie from their engagement in Hawaii, to their current home in Cali, all the way out to their wedding day in Grand Rapids.

This hip-glam bride and this fun-loving groom filled this day with hilarious ha-ha’s and guffaws! Just take a look at the groomsmen’s socks or Corey’s gifted handkerchief and tell me these guys don’t have a sense of humor! Having a New Vintage Place wedding allowed them to have all aspects of their day on all different levels.

I know it may sometimes come off as insincere when I say, “I know if the couple lived here, we would be friends,” but when I say it, it’s because it’s the truth! I’d like to formally submit my application to be Ashley and Michaela’s other sister.

Living in #BeerCity I have been waiting for the chance to have a wedding hosted at Founder’s Brewing. An institution in the world of hops. All my draft dreams came true when Jessica & Jeff held their big day in the landmark of beer. Say “I Do” with a brew!
