Kendra and Kyle Mitchell 9-18-10

Kendra and Kyle were absolutely amazing to work with! Kyle and Kendra hired me for full planning 18 months ago. I remember our first meeting we went over their vision for their big day. After 18 months and countless hours helping plan their wedding I could not be happier with the final results!

They originally were going to have their wedding here in the area but decided last summer to move it near Kendra’s home town, Bad Axe. My first time going Bad Axe was earlier this year when I went with the couple to check out the new reception site. At that time everything was covered with snow but I learned over the last few days there pretty much isn’t anything but cornfields : )

Kendra and Kyle’s ceremony was held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Bad Axe. The church was beautiful.

There reception was at Hersel’s on the Bay in Casseville. Hersel’s has a small banquet room that holds about 105 but seeing how Kendra and Kyle had about 205 guests we had to use two rooms. There was the option to have a tented reception on the beach but they chose not to seeing how you never know what the weather will be like in September. And luckily it was held indoors as it was chilly and rainy.

Below you will see some before pictures.

Here is the restaurant dining room that was turned into a beautiful reception room that included the head table, immediate family and more seating for friends and family.

The banquet room

I headed to the “thumb” on Friday to set up the reception site. It took 6 hours but was worth every minute! After the 2 ½ hour ride I got home at 2 am.

Linens were rented from Affordable Elegance. I picked them up, dressed the tables and chairs then returned them after the wedding. I was told by several workers and the owner that Kendra and Kyle had the most beautiful wedding ever held at the site!

The round tables had reserved seating for immediate family with simple centerpieces while the banquet tables were open seating and they had red rose centerpieces, tall and short. I am in love with the linens that were on the round tables!

The cake was also set up in this room

The cake was breathtaking! It was provided my K & K Catering.

Here is the view from the room.

 

In between the two rooms there was a bar area that I wanted to make feel more elegant. Here is a picture of the bar seating area that I dressed up.

By the main doors I covered the cash register area to make it match the décor. In the center is the unity candle from the ceremony.

Party Time!!!

Kyle and Kendra had great vendors from the Bad Axe area and from Metro Detroit.

Their photographer was Moments Captured by Vanessa and their videographer was Plum Soda Productions. Plum Soda Productions is located in Metro Detroit and they are awesome! They also have great prices. If you are thinking about hiring a videographer they will defiantly fit in your budget. Flowers were provided by Country Cottage Floral.

Thank you so much Kendra and Kyle for allowing me to bring your wedding vision to life. Congratulations, you two are the perfect couple!
