This couple came to me with a really good foundation of what they wanted their wedding to be. They had me at two words: Gothic & spooky! They also had already chosen two very beautiful venues as the backdrop to this vibe, Basilica of St. Mary in Livonia & The Treasury in Pontiac.
The Treasury has a little alcove (stairs to nowhere) that needed to be dressed up.
Nothing a trip to the pumpkin patch and the Halloween store can’t fix!
Let’s look at some of the spooky and gorgeous details!
The Father of the Bride surprised everyone with an amazing performance band and entrance for the newlyweds. It was so much fun! Once the music started, it was hard to get anyone off the dance floor!

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.
