Natalie’s sweet mama…

Jeff sang a song to Natalie, and it was so precious!  Below is Natalie watching as she gets serenaded…  :)

And now for the wedding day!

Natalie and Jeff named each table after places they have traveled together

So let me explain…Jeff and Natalie wanted to make their introductions just like a Chicago Bulls lineup, and it was great.  We had the spotlight, the announcer, the music, and the jerseys!  The groomsmen jerseys said G-Men, and the bridemaids said B-Maids.  I loved it!

Natalie and Jeff wanted the Smoochbooth at their wedding, and it was a hit!  As guests had their picture taken, they would put them in a book and write notes to the bride and groom.

The problem was, we were throwing this party at his office and studio, so we had to totally transform the space into an ‘event’ site! It was so much fun to do and see it all come together. A humongous thank you to Classic Event Rental who let me play and use whatever I needed… furniture, lighting, fabric draping, glassware and linens, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you! So many people helped out with this event, and we are so grateful for each contribution. Check out the pictures to find out about all the sponsors…

Looks like there is a lot of work to be done! These are obviously the ‘before’ pictures!

And now for the ‘after’!



The lighted path to the restrooms…very important! :)
Thank you to Liz, with The Purple Iris, for the funky floral decor! :)

M7 Catering provided the savory hors d’oeuvres, while The Colorful Palate provided the sweets! Oh my goodness, the food was fantastic! I know that everyone was raving about the food, so thank you to these amazing caterers!

The homemade peanut butter cups were to die for! Yummy!
Corey McNabb provided all the beverages, including the Smoochtinis! The Wine Guy helped out with the wine cost…thanks!
Check out this cake! Yes, it is a cake! And it was lip smacking good…okay that was cheesy, but it was very tasty! Melissa, with Cakes by Jane, is extremely talented as you can see!
I just loved the ice carving Masterpiece Ice created for this event. So perfect! I don’t know how they do it…

There is the man himself…Corey McNabb. I love this shot that my husband took!


How can you not dance when Dylan, with Blazin Sounds Entertainment, is the DJ? Thank you, Dylan!
Everyone had a good time using all the props that were there for the Smoochbooth!
Having fun in the Smoochbooth…
