Nominated for Best Favors... Again!

Thank you so much to all of our fans who came through for us again this year! We love Minnesota Bride Magazine. Last year, we won their Top of the Tiara Award for best overall wedding vendor. It doesn't get any better than that.

This year, we've received our second nod for Best Favor. What are the odds we'll win Best Favor in Minnesota and Wisconsin (where we're also nominated)? We think they're really good, that's what. Keep keeping those fingers double-criss-crossed and we'll keep you posted.

Photo Booth Cures Colicky Babies

See? Weddings aren't so bad. Not with photo booths. We are currently testing to see if our photo booth also cures irritable teenagers and grumpy old men. It's still too early to say for sure, but things are looking very promising...

We're Nominated for "Best Favors!"

Wisconsin Bride has just announced the nominees for their "Best of 2010" awards ceremony taking place on June 24, 2010. Though we weren't nominated in every category (we thought we had "best reception venue" and "best makeup artist" in the bag), we are one of three nominees for "Best Favors." What can we say? Wedding guests love taking home gorgeous photo strips proving exactly how much fun they had at the reception.

Keep your fingers crossed for us on June 24th and thanks again for your support!

This isn't the first time we've been nominated for (or won) a fancy schmancy award. Check out our ever-expanding trophy collection. The awards sure are shiny. Jacob has even been caught falling asleep with the ICON Award cradled gently in his arms...

Wish Upon a Wedding Launches in Chicago

We are super excited to announce the launch of the Chicago location of Wish Upon a Wedding, America's first wedding wish granting organization. The organization is made up of fabulous, local wedding vendors who are happy to donate their services to special couples facing terminal illness.

Chicago's chapter of Wish Upon a Wedding hosted it's launch party at  the Ravenswood Billboard Factory on Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Chapter president and renowned event planner, Ali Phillips, told the evening's guests about the short history of Wish Upon a Wedding and presented a beautifully-done video (courtesy of I do Films) telling the love story of Chicago's first WUW couple. We think everyone cried.

We're proud to be part of this new and exciting organization. Wish Upon a Wedding started in January 2010 and chapters are quickly popping up all over the country. We believe that couples dealing with terminal illness should not have to give up their dream wedding because of mounting medical bills.

If you know of a couple facing terminal illness who might be interested, please send them to www.wishuponawedding.org.
