Real Wedding Story: Courtney & Joe

Michigan turned in one stunner of a day for Courtney and Joe’s wedding. While the forecast projected rain all day, it perfectly cleared up in time for their festivities. Black Barn Vineyard and Winery was the setting for their late September ceremony and reception. Kiss and Makeup created a chic braided look for our gorgeous bride and all of the girls donned cowboy boots with their dresses. Their ceremony was held outdoors at the historic oak tree in the vineyard. Guests strolled through the vines just as the sun began to shine for Courtney and Joe’s special moment.

Back at the venue, guests kicked off the evening with yard games, Vintage Photo Lounge and signature cocktails. Inside long communal tables where adorned with lush greenery garlands from French’s Flowers, white pumpkins and gords, black lanterns, candlelight with black accents. Guests cozied up for dinner with the perfect fall spread from Taste of Heaven Catering followed by pumpkin donuts from the couple’s donut wall along with mini pies! As soon as Michaels Entertainment opened up the dance floor there was no stopping it! Our couple and their guests had a great time tearing up that dance floor. At the end of the night, guests took home dog bones and koozie favors from the couple, who love their two pups!

Congratulations Courtney and Joe!
