Eastern Market | Sara + Rob’s Detroit Wedding Celebration
On Friday, September 2, 2016, Tracie and her team headed down to Eastern Market, Shed 3, to begin setting up for Sara and Rob’s wedding. This venue is a giant blank space, so there was lots to be done! The team worked together to get all the linens dressed on the tables, assemble the centerpieces, set out the menus, supervise the rentals and caterer, and ensure the space looked picture-perfect!
Sara and Rob tied the knot at The Cathedral Church of St. Paul in downtown Detroit. It was a beautiful day, with the sun beaming through the church’s gorgeous stained glass.
After the ceremony, the guests headed over to Eastern Market, Shed 3, where the reception took place. This was such a unique and open space for a reception, and with a guest list of 340, it was perfect. The tables were dressed in plum linens with cylinder vases filled with orchids and purple lighting. For the table numbers, our bride created signs with Detroit cross streets that were significant to the couple.
A really special moment was when our groom surprised his bride with a special live performance for their first dance song.
The guests enjoyed Southern comfort food catered by Bert’s on Broadway. The cake was two-tiered, with fresh purple and white flowers on top, surrounded by a table of cupcakes in shades of purple.
Once the dance floor started to fill up, the lights dimmed, and a purple hue of uplighting lit the space. This was such a fun wedding; with a great DJ, the dance floor was overflowing all night!
It was such a special day for Sara and Rob, and we are so blessed to have witnessed the love they share!
A special thank you to all of the amazing vendors who made this night possible:
