The wait was nearly a year for Olivia & Ryan after booking us for their early September wedding ceremony and reception at Bread & Chocolate in the Old Bag Factory in Goshen, but wow, was it worth it!
DOWNTOWN SOUTH BEND WEDDING RECEPTION FOR GRACIE & ANDREW | DJ
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.
KAITLYN AND TIM’S POSTPONED COVID RECEPTION IN GOSHEN | DJ, REMOTE SPEAKER
Let’s be clear right from the start, the global Coronavirus pandemic hasn’t been easy on anyone. Not parents, not senior citizens, not health care workers, not civic leaders, not DJs, and certainly not engaged couples. Many couples have had to pivot more than once, adjust their expectations for their big day, and many like in the case of Kaitlyn and Tim, have had to postpone their celebrations completely.
LIZZIE & PATRICK WED AT THE SPOHN BALLROOM IN GOSHEN | DJ, CEREMONY
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.
ST. JOE FARM IN GRANGER HOSTS RILEY AND AARON’S WEDDING | DJ, CEREMONY
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.
OLIVIA AND SELDON GATHER AT THE ARMORY FOR THEIR SOUTH BEND WEDDING | DJ
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!
THE ARMORY HOSTS ALEXANDRA & KEVIN’S SOUTH BEND WEDDING | DJ
Alexandra and Kevin found love in a bar. No, seriously! Let’s explain … This Dallas TX-based couple were both attending Murray State University in small-town Kentucky and studying bio-chem when a mutual friend suggested they should meet up at a local bar. Rance, the Groom’s Best Man, explained what happened next in his speech: He went into a bar for a fun night with his buddy and before long found himself all-alone in said bar as Kevin had quickly ditched him completely for Alexandra! The rest, as they say, is history.
RENEE & JON’S SOUTH BEND WEDDING AT THE ARMORY | DJ, UPLIGHTING
SARA & JARED’S PANDEMIC WEDDING RECEPTION IN GOSHEN IN | DJ, REMOTE SPEAKER
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!
BREAD & CHOCOLATE HOSTS CARA & PETE’S JANUARY WEDDING | DJ, UPLIGHTING
New jobs individually brought Cara and Pete to the Goshen-area, a meet-up group connected them, and then Bread & Chocolate in the Old Bag Factory in Goshen brought their respective families together from the Noblesville Indiana and Trenton NJ areas for this memorable January wedding celebration that kicked off Sticky Boots’ 2020 wedding tour.
