Festival in the Forest

These two know how to throw the best party you have ever experienced. Their intuitive agility is second to none, moving seamlessly from conversations with my mother about place settings to budget and financial considerations with my CEO father. They are, without question, the best at their craft.

guests arrived to the middle of the woods and saw this peeking through the trees

Guests were invited to the middle of the Northern Michigan forest where we created a venue in the woods from scratch. Following the ceremony, a gospel choir came in from Detroit and led guests on a forest walk to cocktail hour, with Moscow Mules tray-passed by servers along the way. When they arrived at the reception, a series of tents awaited them with immersive lighting that matched their vintage field guide-inspired invitation suite, floral installations, teepee lounges, lawn games, a Motown band, and an elevated multi-course dining experience with beverage pairings throughout.
