Amanda and Aaron 7-25-14 (Stephanie)

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but the Royal Oak Farmer's Market could easily be one of my favorite venues. Every wedding I coordinate there is completely different than the ones before. That is exactly what I love about it, the fact that it can be transformed a million different ways, to fit anyone's tastes and style. This combined with the fact that the staff is always super friendly and will literally bend over backwards for their clients and vendors, really places it high on my list. Amanda and Aaron were referred to me from the staff at the market and I really loved working with them. Both the ceremony and reception were held at the market. 

The market when we arrived, before setup:

After GJE worked our magic :)

 The ceremony was held on one end of the market, as seen above

 Guest tables were setup on the other end. Wondering where the chairs are? They were used for the ceremony and moved to the guest tables after by myself and my wonderful staff. 

 Centerpieces were the stump and vases below as well as two small vases of flowers on either ends of the table

 These centerpieces are absolutely perfect!

 Wedding wands with bells attached to ring/wave as the newly married couple walk back down the aisle together

 All of these amazing wooden signs you are seeing in the background and on the tables? Yeah, Amanda's dad is a-mazing and literally hand crafted all of them...in the garage...like it's no big deal...I was blown away!

 The dessert table to end all dessert tables, literally

I believe Amanda's aunt put together this suitcase cardbox. It is soo not fair that one family contains all this talent!

 As guests walked into the market, they saw this. Another one of Amanda's dad's amazing creations. I looove it!

They even made their own hashtag! Is this not the best idea!?

There was also a DIY photo frame booth (Oddly, very very similar to the booth that GJE used to offer!) for guests to pose behind and corn hole for guests to play throughout the night. Again, both DIY items handcrafted by Amanda' dad. There was also a hot dog cart setup by the couple's friends on the patio outside the market at the end of the night. The guests absolutely loved it!

Hair and makeup by Bianchi's Salon. Floribunda provided the florals. Amoris Market provided wine and liquor and were super helpful and accommodating. Vince Rizzo provided catering services. Nick Urb provided ceremony music. Ultimate Entertainment provided DJ services. Amy Rice provided photography.

Congratulations Amanda and Aaron. Your wedding was a blast! Thanks for having GJE be part of your special day!
