We had so much fun with Steph and Matt! They are a beautiful, sweet couple and we wanted to hire Stephenie because of her organizational skills and immense talent for DIY. Their wedding day was a blast!

AELO Alumni | Angela + Peter 7/12/15

In July, we had a traditional Greek ceremony in the beautiful St. Demetrios. Angela and Peter were so in love! The room at the Concorde was elegant and romantic and the night was filled with a TON of traditional Greek desserts, a candy bar, and lots of Greek dancing. We loved being a part of this day, and wish Angela and Peter all the best as they start their journey as newlyweds!
