Camp Wedding Retreat at Camp Wandewega

In September, I was honored to be asked to speak by Sarah and Andrea from Cherry Berry Events at Camp Wedding at the Camp Wandewega, located in Wisconsin. This was their inaugural wedding retreat and I was looking forward to meeting some new friends in the wedding industry. I attend a couple of event conferences a year and I was intrigued by the concept of Camp Wedding, with wedding professionals being in a camp environment.

Chicago Newberry Library

Seating Scrolls

I love the use of seating scrolls in lieu of placecards for wedding guests to let them know where they are seated. Here is one we did for Lena and Chris's reception at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois on Friday, May 11th. Baltic Studios took a picture of the Newberry Library's arches on the front of the building and recreated it on the bottom of the seating scroll. 
After the wedding it can be framed and placed in your dining room or living room to remember all the great friends that were present on your wedding day!

Sarah and Tom Sullivan

Ali, We can't say thank you enough for all of your help! You truly made our big day perfect and stress free. Unlike so many of my friends, I was truly able to enjoy every minute of my wedding day, since I knew you had everything taken care of. From start to finish we loved working with you every step of the way.... from your great ideas and vendor reccomendations to seeing the final day through exactly as I had envisioned it. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sarah and Tom

A Chicago Newberry Library Wedding

Rhiannon and Tim exchanged their marriage vows at the beautiful "Fourth Prestbytarian Church":htpp://www.fourthchurch.org on Michigan Avenue in front of their family and friends. The bride walked down the aisle to the Prince of Denmark played by the organ and the trumpet as Tim watched with the biggest smile on his face!
