Lisa & Aaron celebrated 10 years together by tying the knot, and we were honored to play a part. Because of how significant Mardi Gras festivities had been throughout their relationship, they continued that theme throughout the event with having bold red and purple colors along with beads incorporated not only around the flower arrangements but also into a fun bead toss rather than the more traditional garter and bouquet tosses.

They were interested in doing much themselves, so we filled in with ideas and guidance along the way and managed everything the weekend-of; after all, Lisa’s main priority was to not feel stressed on her wedding day. We actually ended up taking on more roles than usual to help them keep costs down, so we were largely acting as the florist, caterer, and facilities manager, in addition to the more typical role of managing of the event design and flow. Admittedly, this expanded role was challenging since the venue allowed us an extremely limited amount of time for setup, but everything came together perfectly just in time!

A carriage dropped off Lisa and her father at the beautiful historic mansion where the guests were being soothed with classical guitar. Lisa and Aaron were married on the lawn under a flowering arch we decorated, and they were even able to include their dog, Bird, as the ring bearer. After officially becoming Mr. and Mrs. Young, they had a private ride around the block in the carriage and proceeded to go up on a balcony for the bead toss. The reception was waiting for everyone on the other side of the mansion, held both in the gorgeous carriage house and in a tent outside for dancing and mingling.

The night was filled with great food, fun, drinks, and dancing, and most importantly, no stress for the much-deserving bride.

Here’s what Lisa had to say about our services:

N-joY! is one of the best services money can buy. N-joY! worked behind the scenes at our wedding reception, taking on any and every task we needed help with, and the help was invaluable. It is such a great feeling to be able to enjoy the event and know that someone (N-joY!) is there to make sure everything runs smoothly.
