ACCORDING TO EMILY’S MOM, HER FAVORITE THING TO DO AS A LITTLE GIRL WAS TO LOOK THROUGH HER MOTHERS WEDDING ALBUM (ALMOST DAILY…LOL)!! SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE EXCITEMENT SHE HAD WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR HER AND HER FIANCE TO PLAN THEIR WEDDING!

THIS WEDDING WAS FULL OF SURPRISES, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHERE THEY HELD THE RECEPTION! WHEN EMILY BOOKED WITH ME SHE TALKED ABOUT HER VISION WITH THE TRANSFORMATION OF THIS LOCATION INTO THEIR RECEPTION. IT WAS GOING TO BE HELD AT THE NATURAL GAIT IN MONONA, IOWA. I WAS AT THIS LOCATION MANY YEARS AGO, I SLIGHTLY REMEMBER IT BUT KNEW IT WAS AN ARENA FOR TRAINING HORSES. I KNEW THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL, BUT I DIDN’T EXPECT WHAT I HAD SEEN WHEN I WALKED INTO THE RECEPTION. I WAS COMPLETELY SURPRISED AND BLOWN AWAY…A SIMPLE ARENA TURNED INTO A FABULOUS WEDDING VENUE!

THE BEST DAY EVER! (THE THEME OF THEIR WEDDING)
