How the night ran

How did Michaela and Riley’s wedding night run?

Michaela and Riley’s wedding ran in one place: the ceremony and the reception were both at Greenhouse Two Rivers, and DJ Kassie took the ceremony, then the party.

  1. The groom dips the bride into a kiss in the aisle while guests and groomsmen clap and laugh, a wooden cross and hanging greenery under the glass roof behind them

    How they planned it

    About four weeks before the wedding, Kassie called them to plan the night. They also sat down with her in person to go over every detail.

  2. The bride and groom laugh at each other as they walk through a tunnel of guests holding glowing light sticks, the venue sign lit behind them

    How the night ran

    Kassie arrived at least two hours before the 5:00 pm start and welcomed guests as they came in. She ran the ceremony, then the reception, went table to table to meet their guests and sent each table up to dinner. On the floor she played 70s funk and disco, classic rock, old school hip hop, 80s pop, country, Top 40 and 2010s hits, with the Cupid Shuffle along the way.

  3. The groom laughs with cake on his nose as the bride, laughing, touches icing to his chin, a white cake in the foreground and warm lights through the glass behind them

    How it turned out

    Their favorite memory was the cake cutting competition. Kassie’s was the two of them singing and dancing with each other. The send-off ran under glowing light sticks.
