Taylor + Austen
Taylor + Austen’s Wedding
Taylor and Austen rang in the new year with style and a perfectly timed balloon drop! Their ceremony and reception took place at The Grand Hall KC. They were surrounded by family and friends with a beautiful ceremony that was officiated by the groom’s brother. It was truly touching to watch the families come together in this way. Taylor’s dog, Benji was the ring bearer and he may have stolen the show for just a minute! For a suprise ceremony ending that the father of the bride ask me to plan, we made the scene at the end of the ceremony from Love Actually come to life! It was truly a suprise when Taylor & Austen started down the aisle and then stopped to look up at the balcony while the trumpets and singers appeared singing, “All you need is Love.” For the first dance, the guests stayed in the balcony and watched Taylor and Austen sweep the floor with their elegant dance skills. A delicious sit down dinner was served by Olive Events and then the dance floor and slo mo photo booth provided for a night to remember. Winstead’s delivered the last night cheeseburgers and shakes right before the balloon drop at midnight! Magically in every way and a wonderful way to ring in the new year!
