A "Fruity" Centerpiece Idea

Keep things cool this summer by using fruit for your centerpieces. It will be a modern alternative to flowers or candles, the colors are perfect for any summer theme, and it will give the guests a fresh piece to observe while enjoying the reception festivities.

On A Personal Note - Baby News!

I don't usually blog about my personal news... but I'm just too excited not to share this with everyone! My husband and I are super happy to announce that we are expecting our first little bundle of joy - due to be here on December 9th. Looks like I won't be doing too many December weddings this year :)

Ever After Banquet Hall in Hastings

I just attended a beautiful wedding reception held at the Ever After Banquet Hall located in Hastings, Michigan. This is a place I can now say I would first-hand recommend! The set up was stunning, the food was delicious, and the staff seemed organized and polite. Guests seated anywhere in the banquet hall can get a clear view of the dance floor, and there is plenty of room for everyone. A wonderful place for a reception gets two thumbs up from me!

Wedding Weekend in Grand Rapids

I had a wonderful experience coordinating a wedding in Grand Rapids this past weekend! The happy couple Brynna and Nick treated their guests and began their wedding weekend with a modern rehearsal dinner downtown at a very cool place called The Bob.


After setting up their dinner I was lucky enough to have stayed at the JW Marriott located just a block down from The Bob. Along with the family, wedding party, and out of town guests, I was taken away by the very classy setting of the Marriott. Guests staying here can enjoy valet parking, room service, a spa, and much more.



Here are a few photos I snapped from my room window up on the 18th floor. Pretty awesome.

Finally the big event took place at the Kent Country Club. The bride and groom exchanged their vows outside with stunning greens surrounding them. Cocktail hour and the reception took place indoors in one of the club's ballrooms. Everything looked stunning, and the staff was organized and easy to work with.

I had a wonderful experience for my first time being in Grand Rapids, and I look forward to spending some more time there in the future. Congratulations to the bride and groom!
