Gusto North Restaurant Wedding

Intimate Restaurant Wedding

Ali & Brett like many others had to push back their plans due to the pandemic.  They decided to get married during the pandemic but finally got to party in style with family and friends!  They decided on a Gusto North Restaurant wedding that was to be intimate, minimalistic and focused on the guest experience!  It was all about the food, booze, and good times!

In sticking with their focus on food, booze, and good times the wedding party stopped at Kilter Brewing during photos to grab a quick bite and have a few drinks!  A fun little stop with their friends to get the good times rolling.

Instead of the typical timeline of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and then dancing, Ali & Brett decided to switch things up!  We began the night with a cocktail hour, had a delicious dinner, then did a candlelit ceremony, followed by the dance party!

We had cocktail hour in Mottola Grocery for a unique vibe.  There were food stations, passed appetizers, and live music by Keith MacPherson.  We followed this up with dinner and drinks for their reception at Gusto North! This couple had a pleasant little surprise up their sleeve as they announced their second pregnancy during their thank you speech!  Always so wonderful to see all the love and joy at these events.

Ali & Brett had a vow renewal via candlelit rooftop which was truly a sight to see.  The views overlooking the city scape all lit up at night were breathtaking! This was our first late night ceremony which was done by moonlight and was absolutely stunning!  We certainly hope it is not our last late night ceremony after seeing how truly gorgeous it was!
