The stunning bride and bridal party got ready at the Seelbach Hilton which also provided a lovely backdrop for the bride and groom’s first look.

Hair and Makeup provided by Hot Locks!

The ceremony took place at Megan’s childhood church, Central Christian Church in New Albany, IN.  *Warning* the picture following Meg walking down the aisle is a major tear jerker but oh so sweet.

Commonwealth Musicians provided the musical stylings for the ceremony.

Transportation the bridal party and family was provided by Miller Trailways and Person to Person Limousines.

The reception took place at the historical and always lovely Grand Ballroom of the Henry Clay.  Guests’ escort cards were hung from a set of trees making for a really exciting display as guests reached the second floor.  Gigi’s Cupcakes provided the delicious treats on the left!

Instead of a guest book Megan and Josh had guests write postcards that were sent to the couple’s home after the wedding and also gave a nod to their love for Chicago!

Absolutely diggin’ this head table from the color to the height and to the slue of candles!!

The yummy dinner and drinks were provided by The Silver Spoon.

Meg and Josh’s first dance was definitely one for the record books.  On a spur of the moment decision the playful couple actually danced around the room and through their guests!

When it was time for Leroy Ellington & the E-Funk Band to take their final break- Megan and Josh headed to the stage to start the Techo Dance Break!!

Clearly their guests really enjoyed it- & so did the happy couple!!

We had such a great time at this party ourselves. Our team was even able to get party hats to celebrate LC’s birthday while we had dinner!!

To great parties with heartfelt emotion,

They completely committed to the Circus de Soleil style in all aspects of the event from the invitation wording to the decor, and the huge floor decal.

The couple came to LCE wanting to completely transform their reception space. We were absolutely up to the challenge, and everything came together beautifully.

We’re certain you won’t be able to guess where this reception took place, but hope you’ll try!

All the images you see here were captured by the awesome Amy Campbell of Angela Anderson Photography.

This Lazaro is to die for!!!

The bridesmaids carried whimsical bouquets full of color!

Cocktail Hour took place under the festoon lighting.  All draping and lighting provided by Camargo Rentals.

Lori and Dan got a peak at the reception just before their guests.  Their reaction is priceless!!

Awesome dance floor decal tied the circus theme together!

Lori’s second look rocked…plus it made it waaayyy easier to dance!

The delectable cake below was provide by Mert’s Cakes!

Have you guessed yet where this reception took place?  The ceremony site was actually St. Joseph Hill Catholic Church in Sellersburg, IN, and the reception took place…

in the church’s gym!!

Dan’s band even took the stage for a set! All other reception entertainment was provided by Coxx Events.

Showtime Photo Booth was on the scene with a cardboard cut out of Lori’s cat as well as tons of other props!

In true circus style, we had some fun treats outside for guests to enjoy including lemonade, funnel cake, and even cotton candy!

What a great way for all the guests to end their evening!

All these stellar images were captured by Lucy of Angela Anderson Photography.  The Video Wizard was also there so the family could remember every sight and sound!

The couple was married at St. John’s United Church of Christ. A gorgeous location especially great for those who want an ornate church feel, without specific denomination policies.

Pew markers were designed in a fleur de lis shape for these Louisville natives!

The deep purples and plums made for a lovely color combination for this late September party!

Check out this good looking group!

The reception was held at one of Louisville’s newest & coolest venues –The Ice House.  Catering was provided by Crushed Ice Events.

The bridal party was announced into the reception like a starting lineup at a University of Louisville game.  Even Louie came out for this and was announced just before the bride and groom!

Go CARDS!!

Who doesn’t love a custom gobo on the dance floor?!?

A first time for LCE – we included live beta fish in almost all of the floral arrangements!  Our staff had some fun naming each– all 30+ of them!

Thanks to Feeders Supply for keeping them alive for us!

Cake topper was provided by Plehn’s Bakery and cupcakes by Gigi’s Cupcakes.  There were a ton of minis that were passed once the cake was cut.

We’re suckers for sweet Daddy’s girl moments!!

The guests enjoyed playing around in the Showtime Photo Booth, and there were definitely a few dance offs thanks to the musical stylings of Coxx Events!

To fun new experiences,

All the wonderful images provided by the amazing Todd Pellowe!

Hair and Makeup by Applied Cosmetic Services.  Stunning!

We loved the pop of color in the gorgeous green of the bridesmaids’ dresses!

The event took place at a private residence beautifully surrounded by forestry and lakes.  Simply dreamy!!!   The ceremony was anchored by this amazing tree, directly next to the smaller lake.

For the ease of their guests, the family decided to transport everyone with the help of R&R Limousines and Toby Tours.

Seriously have you ever seen a more beautiful location for a wedding?!

The texture of this cake is so cool… and of course it’s a Mert’s Cake so you know it’s as delicious as it is gorgeous!

White linens, tons of candles, and colorful petals with the amazing lighting looked so clean and beautiful! 

We’re in Bourbon Country so we had to have a great collection!!  These custom bars were built just for this party & fit in really nicely with the decor!

The families opted to have a cocktail style reception to keep guests up and mingling.  All enjoyed scrumptious delights from Wiltshire Pantry while chatting and dancing.

Music provided by Familiar Faces Band.

Limbo…classic!

The perfect end to a great evening.  The 1956 Vintage Bentley from Person to Person Limousines whisked the couple off to their happily ever after!

Other vendors that made the day great Kentucky Portable, Dr. George Strunk, Commonwealth Musicians.

Hair and Makeup by none other than Ana at Applied Cosmetic Serivces!!

Amy, Angela Anderson Photography‘s Lead Photographer captured all of these romantic images.

A great alternative for a bride or groom who can’t decide whether to have a first look or not:  Jacquelyn and Landon saw each other for the first time at St. John United Church of Christ, but alone.  This allowed them to get all of the photos they wanted while still keeping their first look intimate.  We even had Landon wait on the altar as Jacquelyn walked down the aisle towards him!

We could literally post every picture from this stop they made in St. James Court.  The setting and the people are stunning!

The ceremony took place at The Brown Hotel.  Although any color scheme looks great in this historic location the sky blue, white, and gold worked great with the setting!

Thanks to Familiar Faces Band for providing great entertainment all night!!

Techno Band Break….such a blast!!

Their fabulous cake was provided by The Sugarwoods.  Transportation by Miller Trailways, and lovely ceremony music by Commonwealth Musicians!  We wish we could do it all over again!  What a wonderful bride and groom and a great group of family and friends!

To True Beauty,

Jamie and her bridal party were made even more beautiful by Hali B & Co. and Makeup By Hope.

One of the best moments of a wedding- the Father of the Bride’s first look!  A beautiful moment often filled with tears of happiness.  David Blair Photography captured this special moment perfectly and every other moment as well!

The ceremony was held at St. Albert the Great and the reception at Whitehall.

We loved the flowers dripping from the wrought iron chandeliers provided by Camargo Rentals.  All other rentals were provided by Reliable Rentals.  The classic & elegant cake was provided by none other than Mert’s Cakes.

See what we mean?  Bet you are smiling after you see this picture!

Petite desserts pictured here were provided by Ladyfinger’s Catering along with the rest of the delicious meal!

This group had a ton of dancers, a great band in Nervous Melvin, and an awesome DJ service in Sounds Unlimited Productions.  One of the greatest parts of the evening was the last before Jamie and Danny left was this favorite of theirs.  Both sets of parents and all guests were skanky leggin’– it was awesome and hilarious at the same time!

No great exit would be complete without sparklers!!!

Thanks also to Commonwealth Musicians, Person to Person Limousines, R&R Limosuines, & Denny’s Valet for making the day smooth!

To True Love that Conquers All,

The groomsmen played around on the trolley a little before the ceremony!

A great way to display RSVP notes at your wedding!  We adorned cocktail tables with the notes, flower petals, and candles.

Wedding Cake Trio by Plehn’s Bakery

Chris loves trains and Disney World so Cakes by Melissa created this intricate groom’s cake.

This crew knows how to get DOWN! Band 24/7 had no problem getting people up and on the dance floor!!  Showtime Photobooth was on hand to entertain guests when they needed a break from the dance party!

Laura is known for doing an epic dance to this 1982 classic all the time & her wedding was no exception… Let’s just say we had to put down a sheet to make sure she didn’t ruin her dress!!

According to Laura and Chris the Techno Dance Break was one of their favorite parts of the night.  We turned all the lights completely out and then they threw glow sticks to their guests off the stage!

One of the best things about the name Casconi…it rhymes with pepperoni!  Perfect for our late night pizza snack!

To Girls (& Boys) that just wanna have fun,
