We met Rochelle and Jeff in January of this year. They are quite a unique couple, both are avid fitness buffs. During the planning of the wedding they took on another BIG task of opening a Cross Fit Gym. Needless, to say planning a wedding can be stressful enough but add opening a gym to the list and that's down right taxing. Lucky for the couple they decided early on that they needed assistance, and reached out to us.
They had already selected a reception venue in St Charles, and a photographer. However, shortly after we signed the couple we found out they had decided not to use their current photographer. In addition, the new reception venue would not be complete in time for the invites, etc. So we knowing their style we quickly put them in contact with our friends Coby & Diane at CMAX Photography who we could not believe were available, and the couple was extatic.
Next task, find them a venue, no easy task due to them insisting on staying in St Charles, and their wedding date was less then 3 months away. After interviewing them further we realized they had gotten engaged earlier that year at Ameristar! Ding, ding...I knew just who to call. Contacted Jodie at Ameristar and quickly the couple had a venue...but not just any venue..HOME Nightclub which is where they had gotten engaged! Can you say divine intervention? We can..
This story is a great example of why having a professional Wedding Coordinator on your team is key. We helped Rochelle & Jeff overcome what could have been a disasterous situation. But instead they were able to enjoy the benefits. Their guests were then able to continue to party down after the reception when HOME Nightclub opened to the public. (Special Thanks to Jodie & Jamie at Ameristar)
In the next few months we finalized the details, and got Sisters Flowers onboard to help the bride create her vintage yellow and black wedding.
Thanks to all of our vendors who sustained the 100+ degree heat to make this wedding a huge success.
