What a true joy it was to finally get Nick + Jesse down the aisle! After a long year of moving their wedding twice, they had a beautiful afternoon wedding at City View Loft. They are so. in. love. From the sweetest vows, to a surprise hora, these two were all smiles all day. They showed so much grace, kindness, and empathy to everyone through the whole process. Two of the most wonderful men you’ll ever meet. We know that their life will be filled with joy!

Congratulations, Nick + Jesse!

ROSCOE | CATERER: COCINA FUSION | FLORALS: STELLA GRAY BLOOMS | PHOTOBOOTH: SMILEBOOTH | CAKE: SWEET MANDY B'S | HAIR: JENNEE MILLER + ELEANOR DRISCOLL | MAKEUP: TRICIA CLARKE + MAKEUP BY JAYCIE | DECOR: ART OF IMAGINATION | DJ: TOAST + JAM

What a beautiful night! We had the best time with this gorgeous couple. Erin + Steven are an incredibly generous, kind pair of educators and we were thrilled to be a part of their day. The ceremony at St. Ben's, the parish Erin grew up in, was gorgeous, the humidity abated for a beautiful cocktail hour on the roof of Ignite, the toasts were so sweet, and then they partied their butts off. Such a fun couple, such wonderful guests, a great team of vendors...we couldn't ask for anything more.

Congratulations, Erin + Steven! We wish you a long, happy life together.

Donuts and gnomes? Could there have been a better way to celebrate Candice and Steve's wedding day? These two incredibly sweet people met all because of a small garden gnome named Sven.  This fun and unique wedding was everything AELO is about.  From the cultural venue of the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture to the fun reception at Headquarters Beercade, this wedding was non-stop fun! The wedding party entrance was right out of the TV game show, "The Price is Right", name tags and all. Candice and Steve's goal was to bring family and friends together to celebrate their love for each other in a fun and relaxed way and they sure pulled it off! Congratulations again, Candice and Steve!
