Ashley & Brent were married on September 1st of this year at Ashley’s mom and step-dad’s home in Dexter, MI. It was a gorgeous day for an outside ceremony and barn reception!
They had me out the winter before to take a look and see if it would even be feasible to host the wedding on the property – and through the packed, dirty barn I saw what could be an absolutely stunning venue! Using measurements they gave me of the barn we figured out the maximum capacity in the space, and Ashley & Brent finalized the guest list and started planning from there.
As much as they wanted help with the logistics, Ashley and her mom also wanted to do a lot of DIY projects, and they did a fantastic job. Cute, personal touches were spread throughout the wedding, from custom playing cards to pinwheel bouquets to a cake stand made from a tree that had fallen in the Dexter tornado.
Kristen, Kaeli, Nick and Alexy were the on-site team the day of the wedding, and they made sure it all went off smoothly and stress free for everyone. Ashley & Brent were married in front of two ladders in their yard that had been attached together to form an arch.
Dinner was catered by Moveable Feast and went wonderfully, followed by pies from the Grand Traverse Pie Co. and a wedding cake from Jefferson Market. Music requests were sent via pulley to the second floor of the barn where Sara from Platinum Mix was stationed, and the lighting from Quest Productions looked amazing in the space.
Other wedding professionals that made Ashley & Brent’s wedding so spectacular include StudiOsnap Photography, who took the amazing pictures you see here, as well as Chair Covers & Linens, and Dexter Flowers.
Congratulations to you both, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
