Alyssa and Michael 6-28-14

Aly and Michael were another out of state couple who I didn’t meet until the day before the wedding. I was actually first contacted by Michael’s mom and then only e-mailed the bride.

Aly and Michael had a lovely wedding at Waterview Lofts at Port Detroit. The ceremony was downstairs, cocktail hour outside and the reception upstairs. This was my first time working at this venue and I think I feel it love. I love the view!

Aly’s wedding defiantly was not smooth sailing the day of. We are all at the venue the day before for rehearsal at there was not any construction…..but they next day the lodge was backed up for about one hour! I was sitting in traffic just looking at the hotel. There was nothing I could do so while I was stuck in the worst traffic jam ever I called all the other vendors and let them know to leave early and take an alternate route. Thankfully they all listened : ) Unfortunately Aly and the girls were stuck in this traffic jam too coming back from the salon. I wish I would have seen this but all the girls grabbed their belongings and ran through downtown Detroit to the Ren Cen! That is a story she will be telling for years.

After that little bump everything was right back on track : ) 

The ceremony. Music provided by The Panache Group. It's always a pleasure to work with them!

Amanda and Tyler 6-21-14


I wish I could go back in time just to work with Amanda and Tyler all over again! They were an out of state couple who put their trust in me to pull together a fabulous wedding. Working with out of state/country brides is great. I love knowing that they 100% trust GJE to get the job done.

Not only did I coordinate this wedding, I was lucky enough to do the floral work too : ) 

Here are some amazing photos from their photographer, Toan Lam . Their ceremony was at Allen Park Presbyterian.
