AELO Alumni | Becky + Matt, 8/11/23

VENUE: LACUNA ARTIST LOFTS | CATERING: FOOD FOR THOUGHT | DJ: CAGE + AQUARIUM | PHOTOGRAPHER: TWO BIRDS PHOTOGRAPHY

Becky is an NYC theatre gal--and her theatre pals were all too happy to fly in for her and Matthew's wedding. They sang a capella as she walked down the rooftop aisle and the officiant, John, did a phenomenal job presiding over the ceremony with heartfelt humor and flair as Becky and Matthew became husband and wife. After the skyline ceremony, the party moved to Lacuna Loft's impressive Reverie Gallery where a delectable dinner was served followed by a show stoppingly packed dance floor--theatre folk know how to get down! We adored working remotely with Becky and Matthew as they planned their destination wedding from afar. They are the sweetest couple and we wish them all the best! <3

What do you get when you pair up two theatre and dance loving people? A fantastic performance to kick off their wedding! Seriously, these two. What wonderful people. We had such a great time getting to know Jen + Ryan, and we loved how personal every last detail of their wedding was. They had a great vision, and it went off without a hitch! It may have been cold and a little bit rainy, but their smiles lit up the room. So in love, so much fun. Congratulations, you two! Enjoy dancing through life together!

AELO Alumni | Catherine + Steve, 5/28/22

What a perfect day. Steve and Catherine got the most beautiful weather for their wedding! It was 72 and sunny and they took advantage of it with Ignite’s gorgeous rooftop and courtyard. These two sweeties had a lovely ceremony at St. Clement’s and then danced the night away! Their families and friends are wonderful people—just like them. What a joy it was to celebrate with these two.

Congratulations, kids! We wish you the happiest life together!

AELO Alumni | Ally + Rob, 8/20/22

VENUE: BROOKFIELD ZOO | PHOTOGRAPHY: VISUAL ETIQUETTE | DJ: TOAST AND JAM | FLORALS: SHAMROCK GARDEN FLORIST | HAIR + MAKEUP: WE ONLY DO PRETTY

What. A. Night. We had a BLAST with Ally + Rob! Rain threatened, so we had to move everything inside, but before that happened, they got a ton of pictures with the gorgeous animals of Brookfield Zoo. Ally and Rob complement each other perfectly. They had so much fun running around the zoo, and the ceremony was heartfelt and beautiful. Then it was over to the reception for a night of dancing and dancing and dancing. What an incredibly fun day, with such fun people. (And you may recognize one of the bridesmaids—we got Lauren + Mike down the aisle six years ago!)

Congratulations, Ally + Rob! You’re the best, and we know you’re going to have such a wonderful life together.

We absolutely loved working with Lauren and Brian! A laid back couple who knew exactly what they wanted, they had an gorgeous wedding day in September. We loved planning with them from day one, and with the awesome vendors, had a great time coordinating their day. Lauren was stunning, Brian was handsome, and their guests danced the night away to the awesome sounds of Maggie Speaks. Such a fun time.

Congratulations, you guys! We're so happy for you!
