From Rainy Proposals to a Joyful Celebration at Lake Elmo Pavillion

10.25.24

From Rainy Proposals to a Joyful Celebration: In May 2023, under the soft embrace of a rainy night, Joe took a moment that would forever change his life. At a breathtaking overlook in Prescott, Wisconsin—where two rivers meet—he proposed to Allison. The sound of rain created a serene backdrop as he asked her to be his forever. It was a magical moment, encapsulated by the beauty of nature and the love they shared.

Fast forward to October 4, 2023, and their journey led them to a stunning wedding at The Pavilion at Holiday Inn & Suites Lake Elmo. The venue, with its elegant décor and warm ambiance, set the stage for a celebration filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

The day was a true family affair, showcasing the talents of their loved ones. Joe’s mother took the reins on floral arrangements, filling the venue with gorgeous blooms that added a personal touch to the celebration. Each arrangement was a reflection of the couple’s love story, vibrant and full of life.

For hair and makeup, they turned to Haus Beauty’s talented Karli Hughes, who worked her magic to ensure Allison and her bridal party looked radiant. With every brushstroke, she highlighted their natural beauty, allowing their joy to shine through.

Complete Team Karne managed the day’s coordination, meticulously handling every detail so that Allison and Joe could fully immerse themselves in the festivities. Their expertise allowed the couple to relax and enjoy the moment, knowing everything was in capable hands.

As the day unfolded, Deea captured each precious moment through her lens. Her photography told the story of the day, from the emotional vows to the joyful laughter shared with family and friends. Each shot immortalized the love and happiness that filled the air.

The celebration reached new heights with music provided by DJ NatX from Complete Weddings, who knew exactly how to set the mood. With a perfect blend of heartfelt tunes and upbeat tracks, he got everyone on the dance floor, creating an electrifying atmosphere that resonated with joy and emotion. It was impossible not to dance, as the energy was contagious, and everyone let loose in celebration of the couple. The couple added their own wants and wishes to their big day, which brought out their love story. They chose Life With You- Kelsey Hart as their first dance which fit them perfectly.

Adding an extra layer of fun to the night, Zoe set up a fabulous photo booth, allowing guests to capture silly and heartfelt moments. The photo booth was a hit, providing laughter and a creative way for everyone to take home memories from this unforgettable day.

Allison and Joe’s wedding was not just a celebration of their love but a beautiful reflection of their journey together. Congratulations to the happy couple! Here’s to a lifetime of love, adventure, and cherished moments together just like rainy proposals to a joyful celebration that has taken place in your love story so far.
