Summer and Michael… where do we begin? This was a wedding to remember. A beautiful indoor ceremony inside the Artisan Ballroom. Followed by a reception fit for a rock star—zebra chair ties, black feathered centerpieces, a zebra groom’s cake, and a bride’s cake in the shape of three drums stacked on top of eachother.

The bride and groom are both local musicians, and the entire reception was a parade of their friends performing on stage with different songs. When it came time for the toasts, shot glasses of jager were passed around instead of glasses of champagne… the shot glasses were also the guests’ favors.

For the ceremony the couple opted for our white wooden chairs, since the teak chairs had zebra chair ties on them. And we lowered the painting (which is on a pulley over the stage) to cover up the band equipment, so it would be a surprise after the cocktail reception. When the painting was raised, it revealed a grand piano and all the other instruments the couple’s friends would be using throughout the reception.
The bride’s bouquet featured black bacarra roses, white hypericum berries, and black feathers.
Won’t forget this one! Special thanks to Peter Staats for the pictures—a photographer worth his weight for sure.
