Elizabeth + Derek's Louisville Wedding

From the Bride: Well, our wedding was a COVID wedding so we had to push it out an entire year. We had the cutest napkins that said, “We waited an extra year for this. Party accordingly”. We felt like it fit our personality well. We danced our first dance to “Simply the Best” by Ben Haynes.

For our signature cocktails, we served a Moscow Mule and a Canadian Coke. We also made our own “shotski” which was a huge hit at our wedding! We just did everything in our power to make sure everyone had a great time. You could feel the love not only between Derek and I but throughout our whole event!

Bride’s Advice: A venue with everything inclusive sounds more expensive up front but is actually the same price as having several different vendors and less stress. Also, it will all be fine! Just have fun! Who cares about the small stuff!
