Amber & Clark’s Very fun and VERY Duke Wedding

Amber & Clark had their super fun wedding at Duke Gardens in Durham, NC on a BRISK spring day and we got to help make it a great day for them!  Please check out the always impressive gallery from indie Bird Photo as well as the great wedding video by Twenty-One Films below.

You know you have cool clients when it rains cats and dogs on their wedding day and they only think positive and funny things like requesting ‘Ironic’ by Alanis Morissette!

We started off this amazing day with Amber & Clark’s wedding ceremony inside Duke Gardens surrounded by their closest friends and family.  Our friends Emily & Rebecca with Events by Emily arranged everything perfectly and really helped make it beautiful both inside and out in the tent.  Cocktail hour was outside under the clear top tent with amazing florals and decor.  Amber & Clark decided to pretty much let us have control of the playlist so we went with a heavy dose of fun 90’s tunes for the cocktail hour and then a wide range of genres and styles for dinner from Country to Motwon to contemporary and even a little classic rock.  It was very important to them that their wedding was a fun celebration so that’s exactly what we gave them.  The Grand Entrance was, of course, fun and lively and led nicely into their First Dance. Jacob and the team from Snap Pea delivered an amazing dinner experience after some heartfelt (and funny!) speeches by the parents.  Then it was party time so we helped move everyone inside and the party was an absolute blast!  Check out the amazing scene in the video and photos below and you’ll agree that it was an all time party that everyone will remember forever.

Best wishes to Clark, Amber and everyone we got to celebrate with on this amazing night!
