Cara & John’s Belle Isle Wedding

Cara and John had an incredible wedding day on Belle Isle in Detroit. They had their first look in the beautiful Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, and their ceremony took place outside in the formal gardens. Rev. Stephen Hulbert did a wonderful job officiating the ceremony.  John’s Dad lent them the keys to his amazing 1940 Mercury Eight, all polished and shiny for the newly married couple! They took a drive around the island as onlookers clapped and cheered them on! They have a love for all things vintage, as Cara’s styling was very throwback glam. Their reception took place at the Belle Isle Casino, a historic Albert Kahn building, which is looking better than ever! John is a chef with Oakland University’s Chartwells, and he and the team there did an amazing job with the food. The strolling dinner was an homage to all of the great Detroit stand-bys- Mexicantown, Greektown, Coneys (of course), soul food, Hamtramck Polish food, and so much more.  Amy from 23 Eleven Events kept the whole day running smoothly.  They rocked the night away with lots of 90s era hip hop classics by DJ Mike Scroggs. It was a great wedding, and we are so happy they chose us to celebrate with them!
