Why did you host your wedding at Celebrations on the River?
The venue is so elegant and reasonably priced with food and drinks included with the venue. We also loved that they had a preferred vendors page on their website which made the planning process smooth.
What was your favorite moment of your wedding day?
Our ceremony with our closest friends and family, grand entrance, and our first dance
Would you change anything if you could do it all over again?
We’d probably change our wing bar being correct (which we’ve resolved)
What was your color palette? Why did you choose those colors?
Burgundy with sage green; the bride’s favorite color is burgundy and loved the greenery look of the sage green
What was one thing you obsessed over, but realized it did not matter?
Decorations
What advice do you have for future couples planning their wedding?
Do NOT sweat the small stuff. It really doesn’t matter. Focus on the moments with your partner.
How did you manage your guest count?
We didn’t want anything too big so we decided our max to invite was 200 (100 each) and ended up with 130 who attended.
Who were your vendors? (DJ, Photographer, Hair/Makeup, Florist, Dessert, etc.) How did you choose them?
- DJ – DJ Brettly
- Photography – Alder and Root
- Hair & Makeup – Salon SoLo
- Florist – Solawood flowers (bridesmaids) + Maple Grove Floral (bride)
- Bride’s Dress: The Wedding Tree
We found the DJ, Photographer, and hair/makeup from the celebrations VIP list on their website and chose the ones that stood out with reasonable price.
