When I met bride-to-be Charlene, we instantly hit it off due to our mutual love of Disney! She & her fiance, Joe, were planning a beautiful ceremony at St. John’s Chapel & a reception in the Atrium of The Inn at St. John’s. I came on board as their wedding coordinator, meant to help them bring together the final details and coordinate the actual wedding day.
St. John’s Chapel has an amazing wedding team. They handled the wedding rehearsal, directed the wedding party, and answered questions along the way. They were also present on the wedding day to make sure the ceremony was flawless.
One of my favorite things about St. John’s Chapel is this wedding party suite with a balcony that overlooks the chapel. It is the perfect place for you to relax before walking down the aisle!
I have all the heart eyes for their first look…
How gorgeous is this chapel? I just love all the details!
If you think the Chapel is gorgeous, wait until you see the Atrium! Charlene had a very specific vision of how she was going to visually fill this room. When she said she wanted 6-foot flowering trees as centerpieces, I was there for it!
And after dinner, we partied!
The sweet feeling of Happily Ever After…that’s a wrap!

I realized wedding planning was my passion when, after working a 12-hour wedding day, I came home and was so energized that I couldn’t go to sleep. I had just worked an entire day, on my feet, and was ready to plan the next event instead of heading to bed! In former careers, an 8-hour shift would leave me exhausted. This new-found energy around my work was very welcomed! Now I plan weddings all around the Metro Detroit & Ann Arbor areas.
