AELO Alumni | Kelsey + Kathleen, 6/8/24

Two perfect people. A perfect night. We were over the moon when Kelsey + Kathleen’s wedding day finally arrived, but also incredibly sad to see it end. We loved planning with them for nearly two years, and seeing the whole thing come to fruition was such a joy. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house during that ceremony, ours included. The guests enjoyed temporary tattoos of their pets and board games during cocktail hour, and later, danced the night away.

But the most special part was watching these two perform “Summer Nights” from Grease in lieu of a first dance! we started this company after meeting in a production of Grease and felt like everything came full circle with these two cuties belting it out! What an incredible evening, what a wonderful journey.

We love you, K&K, and we know you’re going to have a wonderful life together!

AELO Alumni | Aviva + Mitch, 6/24/23

What an unbelieveable day. For a year and half, we planned with Ann, the mother of the bride, and Aviva and Mitch to create the perfect day for these two, and it went beautifully. The hanging baskets Flowers for Dreams dreamed up were incredible. Aviva walked down the aisle to “Defying Gravity”. The first dance was entirely choreographed to “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and at the ened of the night, Aviva and Mitch put on Hawaiian shirts with each of their faces on. So cute, so SO much fun, and so deeply in love. It was an unending joy getting to know this wonderful group of people, and we know they are going to have the best life together.

Mazel tov, Aviva + Mitch!

AELO Alumni | Terian + Nate, 10/3/21

What a JOY to finally get these two down the aisle! We had so. much. fun. planning with Terian and Nate for what turned out to be a lot longer than any of us expected! Originally set for June 2020… then October 2020… and finally for October 2021, their wedding was a computer nerd’s DREAM. Those moody fall colors, twinkle lights, karaoke, the cake! Terian’s DRESS! Everything from the VCR gift card box to the floppy disc escort cards to the kitty cake toppers, was perfectly them, and we are so happy we got to be a part of it. Terian and Nate are two truly wonderful people, who took COVID planning in stride and were so understanding and lovely as we all navigated these strange times. We wish them all the best in whatever the future brings.

Cheers, you two!

AELO Alumni | Beth Ann + John, 9/8/18

What. A. Couple. These two beer loving sweethearts had the BEST most beautiful day in September. We loved planning with these two smart, funny people! They knew what they wanted and we had a blast making it happen. An intimate ceremony was followed by delicious food from Spoken, excellent beers from Begyle, a SURPRISE amazing performance by the bride, and dancing to some tunes.

Beth Ann + John, it was an honor to plan your day, and we know you (and Marla!) are going to have a wonderful life together. Congratulations!

AELO Alumni | Brittany + Kurt, 10/1/16

Let's start the year off right! When one of our own gets married, it is a BIG DEAL! Our fabulous coordinator, Brittany, planned her day to perfection, and Carolyn had a blast coordinating it! Brittany and Kurt were glowing all day, and how about that little Lucy - ringbearered like a pro! Despite the rain, Misael Nevarez was able to get some absolutely stunning photos, and they danced the night away after a delicious taco dinner. Their ceremony was so touching, and Brittany Wore. That. Dress.

We love you both so much, and can't wait to see what's next for you, lovebirds! Congratulations!
