Masonic Temple Detroit ~ Jamie + Seggie 8/23/14

The groom, Seggie, contacted You’re The Bride in March with a vision for his dream wedding in Detroit.

He wanted a full-service wedding planner to help them plan their entire wedding and turn their vision into a day beyond their wildest dreams.

It was in March for a wedding in August so we knew we needed to get to work. We started by meeting Jamie and Seggie, reviewing their vision, and planning the wedding day from beginning to end.

It is always a challenge to move at such a pace but this was a full wedding production. We took over and handled everything so they could enjoy their summer.

Jamie and Seggie chose the perfect location to host their Detroit nuptials. The Masonic Temple was a wonderful backdrop for their ceremony and reception.

They did an amazing job of choosing a unique venue. Jamie and Seggie had a beautiful vision and pulled it off with such elegance and class!

As both the ceremony and reception were to be held at the Masonic, YTB wasted no time in setting up the event and working with all the vendors.

They held their beautiful 11 a.m. ceremony in the chapel. As the guests arrived, the bride and groom’s wedding party waited in the outer lobby area and the shuttle transported everyone from the Motor City Hotel & Casino over to the Masonic Temple.

Once the beautiful bride was ready, Jamie and Seggie met in the lobby and shared a beautiful first look at each other. It was truly a sweet and magical moment! Their photos are just precious.

As the ceremony began, the chapel lights were dimmed and the room came to life.

The bridesmaids wore beautiful blush pink gowns and Seggie and his groomsmen looked quite dapper!

Jamie looked absolutely stunning in her beautiful bridal gown.

Once husband and wife, the couple exited the chapel to lots of bubbles, kisses, cheers, confetti and joy!

After the ceremony, guests were directed to the Crystal Ballroom where the cocktail hour was held in the grand space.

It was the perfect way to start the evening and get everyone in the mood to celebrate!

The reception began with the happy couple’s grand entrance and traditional Assyrian dancing.

The dance floor was packed and everyone had a blast!

Seggie’s mom did a traditional dance along with Seggie and Jamie at the front of the dance floor.

In addition, everyone enjoyed the delicious food and wonderful service. The Motor City Casino’s Catering Staff did an amazing job!

Jamie and Seggie’s four-legged family member, Paws, couldn’t have been happier to see his parents get married and even danced with his new mom! Paws joined the celebration, wearing his dapper little tuxedo, and was over-the-moon happy to have all the attention from his adoring guests!

We all loved Paws so much and were laughing all night at his sweet and adorable behavior!

After dinner, the couple had their first dance to the upbeat Sara Bareilles favorite “I Choose You”.

Everyone enjoyed the sweet, upbeat moment – the song was a hit!

Straight No Chaser was the headlining entertainment of the evening.

They sung some amazing harmonies and were a great addition to the entertainment! Their harmonies were spot on and left the guests wanting more!

Ryan Nemeth was also a hit! Ryan and his team of strolling magicians amazed everyone all night!

Here are some more beautiful photos of the bride and groom and bridal party.
