We love a good legacy. So when Renee contacted us in early 2019 to see if Sticky Boots was available for her upcoming 2020 wedding, we knew right away it was going to be a great party!
Elcona Country Club in Bristol, Indiana, is a beautiful wedding venue all year long. It especially shines with the well-manicured grounds are filled with stunning fall color. Lydia and Mitch's early November wedding featured some of the most dazzling fall colors we had this year.
The start of fall in Elkhart County is beautiful. You can see the stunning shades of red, orange and yellow start to develop. Combined this with golden-pink sunsets, farmers harvesting their fields, big red barns, and winding lanes and you've got an Instagram-worthy backdrop for your wedding!
This is exactly the vibe that Karalyn and Dan wanted for the wedding ceremony and reception. This Fort Wayne-based couple found Rock Run Creek Barn online and fell in love. Why wouldn't they? It has all of those make-our-Midwestern-hearts-swell amenities, it's an 1850’s restored barn that is heated and features inside restrooms ... oh, and it's handicap accessible! Such a big WIN for these fall days where the sun in shining but isn't providing a lot of warmth!
Elcona Country Club is at the foot of the Bristol Hills and has a beautiful club house ballroom that overlooks the 18th green and 10th tee. The weather on this Saturday was exactly what you’d hope for with a wedding in early October - sunny skies, slight breeze and a temperature that wasn't too hot nor too cold.. And DANG, did this couple get the perfect combination of both!
Megan and Tony chose the Platinum entertainment package for their wedding reception based on both a recommendation from friends, and having grown up listening to Sticky Boots on the radio. Couples like that normally have a good idea of what the Sticky Boots experience is like and know how to have a good time, and as soon as we met Megan and Tony, we knew for certain this was going to be a super-fun wedding!
Just off the shores of Lake Wawasee on 27 acres of forested land in Syracuse, Oakwood Resort provides a stunning backdrop for almost any type of event. The only type of event it's not good for is one that doesn't want beautiful lake views, well-manicured grounds or a helpful staff to make sure the event goes off without a hitch. Those events may be out there, but we have yet to find one - ha!
We met Carrie and Nick via Facetime for their initial consultation. We knew that they were going to be a great couple to work with for a lot of reasons. Not only were they fun, they also became aware of The Music Place from their support and participation of the Wawasee Kiwanis Trivia Fundraiser we are a part of every year.
Nearly anyone who’s ever grown up in Elkhart County has at one time or another attended an event at Nelson’s banquet hall in the quaint small town of Wakarusa Indiana. It’s been the venue of choice for celebrations in the Wanee area for decades, and besides hosting some of our close friends’ weddings over the years, it is even the location of our own DJ Sticky Boots very first paying gig …
There’s nothing like a wedding on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. If you are a graduate, the chance to return to that gorgeous campus and be married in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart is a once in a lifetime moment. If you are a guest, the opportunity to be a part of it and drink in the atmosphere can be nearly as special in itself.
South Bend couple Heather and Christine were engaged back in early 2019 and knew right away they wanted something special for their upcoming 2020 wedding. The ceremony and reception would be outside; and with a guest list of under 100 people, they knew they wanted an intimate setting that felt comfortable and welcoming, something more like a backyard than an over-the-top lake front property or giant estate.
The way the afternoon light streams through the west-facing windows in the historic Spohn Ballroom on a late summer day is something special. And so is this venue, with its 3rd floor vantage point on the corner of Main and Clinton Streets overlooking the Courthouse square in picturesque downtown Goshen. You can almost imagine yourself back in time 100 years ago with the bustling Main Street in Goshen in full swing: Cable cars rushing back and forth, the Hotel Goshen welcoming weary travelers across the street and the Olympia Candy Kitchen serving up sodas and other sweet treats from its lunch counter next door.
Barn venues in Northern Indiana are kind of “par for the course” as they say, but the guest experience and the look from barn to barn varies widely…some properties are absolutely stunning, Instagram-perfect visions straight out of Pintrest with top-notch staff. Other are…well…not. Without question though, our favorite barn venue in St. Joseph county Indiana is St. Joe Farm, and it’s a stunner.
Vendor relationships mean everything when it comes to producing an amazing wedding for our clients. We are so grateful to have preferred vendor status with many area venues, photographers, and other wedding professionals, and one of our favorites in the South Bend is Navarre Hospitality Group. Lately we’ve been blessed to work with the Navarre team at The Armory, the event space attached to Iron Hand Wine Bar along the St. Joe River in South Bend, for three of the last four weddings. Olivia and Seldon’s wedding reception made up the final event of that run, and what a way to finish it off!
Nothing says summer in Indiana like sunshine, warm weather, and berry picking! When Goshen couple Chance and Aimee started the search for wedding venues for their July wedding, the unique setting of Blue Barn Berry Farm instantly jumped out as the perfect setting, and we were excited to provide their soundtrack!
When you’ve been together for 14 years, have four daughter’s together, and all of your friends and family stopped asking about a wedding a decade ago, a pesky worldwide pandemic from an unknown virus might be enough to make an average couple say, “You know what? I think we’re good for now.” But Amber and Michael are no average couple, and they weren’t going to let anything stand in their way on this special day.
Elkhart couple Sara and Jared had been planning their wedding since last Fall and had every contingency covered. At the beginning of March we started looking at options for alternative dates and even had one picked out in August, but we were thrilled when Sara announced that they were going forward with the event on it’s original date with whatever modifications necessary to meet state safety guidelines. Our incredible partners at Bread & Chocolate Events and Catering were on board too, and it was all systems go!
