Getting Ready at 401 Hall St

Jordan and Justin were able to share our newest space as they dressed and prepared for their big day! Our City View Groom’s Room has high ceilings, large windows with tons of natural light, dressing areas, and a sitting area for the bridal party to have a place to relax! We loved sharing these moments with them, they obviously surrounded themselves with the greatest of friends!

Jordan had the most beautiful lace gown and her bridesmaids dresses of mint and lace were the perfect complement! We love the fact that she added blue thistle to her wedding bouquet for a pop of color!

Pre Ceremony Photos in the City View Venue

Not wanting to see each other before the ceremony, our photo team of Natalie and Emily worked together to get photos with both Jordan and Justin in the City View, while still keeping them apart. The large windows, wooden beams, crystal chandeliers, and exposed brick walls were the perfect backdrop for Jordan’s lace wedding gown. Our photo team had a great time with the bridal party, they truly were so much fun!

A City View Ceremony

The Studio D2D staff was in full force for Jordan and Justin’s wedding! From our Event Staff, to DJs and our Photo and Video teams, we had their ceremony coordinated and running like a dream! Once everyone was in place, it was amazing to watch the love and laughter between Jordan and Justin…to think, from one simple “Hey” from a boy to a girl in school…and now they are sharing the rest of their lives together. We never forget how lucky we are to be a part of these moments!

Photos Together Before Reception

We snuck Jordan and Justin away for a few minutes to get beautiful images of them together. Then the photo team brought them back to the City View Venue to gather up family and the bridal party for a bit…but soon it was time for the reception to start!

A City View Reception

What a great reception they had! Beautiful lighting, candles, flowers, and more! The toasts and speeches were incredibly touching, with the family talking about how much it meant to them to have joined together as one united family throughout the time that Jordan and Justin have been together.

As we moved into dancing and fun, we were so excited to have this be our first wedding to debut our new Ice Cream Cart! The guests seemed to love having that as a dessert option, and the late night pizza was a hit as well! As usual, we had the best vendors working the reception, and we were so thankful for all of their hard work! Distinctive Catering provided the bar service, Catering Concepts did a fabulous job with the food, and Dreamscape Desserts created a gorgeous cake that was the perfect accompaniment to the reception theme and decor.
