What an unbelievably stunning day. After having to move their wedding several times due to COVID, we finally go to celebrate with this gorgeous, fun-loving couple. It was an emotional day for everyone! The weather was perfect for the ceremony at Promontory Point, and the dance floor was packed all night! From the sweet vows to the wonderful Maid of Honor toast, to the rockin’ dance floor, Katie + Robert’s wedding is one for the record books. Congratulations, you two! We were so honored to be a part of it!

Jeannie and Dan are two of the most genuine, down to earth people and we just loved being a part of their wedding day! They had an intimate ceremony and reception at Loft Lucia that was just perfect and their adorable dog Crash was the cutest addition to their wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a family style dinner where they were able to relax and just enjoy each other's company. Cage + Aquarium set the mood for a night filled with great music and dancing. Crash even got on the dance floor to show his moves! We wish Jeannie and Dan (and Crash) a lifetime of love and endless fun.

AELO Alumni | Alex + Dave, 6/12/21

VENUE: FAMILY HOME | PHOTOGRAPHER: LULU PHOTOGRAPHY | RENTALS: TABLESCAPES | DJ: JUST PRESS PLAY | CATERING: REAL URBAN BBQ | FACE PAINTING: FUN TO SEE FACES

What a wonderful way to kick off the 2021 wedding season after such a long "break" (ahem--global pandemic). Alex and Dave are so smart and thoughtful; they spent quarantine collecting an eclectic mix of oriental rugs, vintage couches and lounges and dreaming up the perfect aesthetic and it showed! Their June wedding at Alex's family home in Highland Park was a whimsical bohemian dream filled with family and friends. So beautiful, so intimate, so fun for kids and adults of all ages. We certainly felt the love at this glowing, flowing fete for the record books.

VENUE: WATERFORD BANQUETS | DECOR: LAVISH WEDDINGS | PHOTOGRAPHY: RUSH PRODUCTIONS | PHOTO BOOTH: 219 PRODUCTIONS | CAKE: SADE CAKE DESIGNS | DJ: DJ SANJAY

After a beautiful, sunshiney baraat and touching ceremony, Falguni and Neelesh were ready to party at their reception. They were welcomed into the reception by a small fireworks display inside the venue! Guests got to their feet and were dancing and clapping as they entered.  After everyone had a chance to enjoy some food from the enormous, delicious buffet, guests were ready to hit the dance floor, glow sticks and all.  Needless to say, it was a day and night full of fun and family.  We wish Falguni and Neelesh many years of happiness.
