“By piggy backing on another event, we got food, entertainment, lighting, and endless photo ops, without having to do all the work.” OMG best way to throw a huge party ever!

Long distance turned marriage: meet these two Denver cuties at their dance party wedding

Alyssa and Kirsten met playing rugby together, then Alyssa moved across the world as they just started dating. So cards, letters, and long distance phone calls were the order of the day. Ten years later, they’re happy together with their fur babies, Ziggy and Yeti. Their dance party wedding was just as sweet and served as a bit of a reunion since so many guests live around the globe. What began as a kick-ass dance party swiftly turned into a killer after-party until 3:00 a.m.

Gritty, rock & roll, and HOT (literally) New Orleans wedding

“We wanted something that felt authentically New Orleans, without resorting to cliches: gritty, sultry, funky, and FUN.” This literally hot (like 95+ degrees) was also totally hot in looks, too. The bride’s dress and cape will slay you. This is the type of New Orleans party that we love: rock and roll, dance all night, and authentically them.
