Winter Wonderland for Christa and Aaron!

The Toledo Club was the perfect setting for Christa Arkebauer and Aaron Pumerantz's winter wedding. Christa and Aaron were married on December 11 at Rosary Cathedral with a reception to follow at The Toledo Club. The Club was decorated with all things "Christmas," complete with lit trees and garlands in every room. Entertainment was provided by KGB, and each guest couple received a hand-blown glass wine stopper crafted by Steve Cothern, assistant manager of the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion, as a special remembrance of the occasion.

Aaron is a Captain in the U.S. Army and is completing his residence in internal medicine at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC. Christa has a Master of Biomedical Science Degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (which is where they met) and is pursuing advanced degrees in occupational therapy. The couple currently reside in Silver Springs, Maryland.


We wish you a happy lifetime together and we enjoyed spending this cold December day with you!

Ringing in the New Year!


New Year's Eve is always a blast, so imagine celebrating your wedding AND bringing in the new year on the SAME DAY!! We had two spectacular weddings this year on New Year's Eve, and what a blast we had!

Olivia Kemmer and Ryan Hunt were married at the Christ the King, followed by a beautiful reception at the Hilton Toledo. The decor and flowers were done by Keith Brooks Florist, and Bee for the Day Wedding Consulting helped to make sure all the wedding planning went smoothly. Olivia's mother is the one and only Alice Kemmer, of I Do Chair Covers, so she had a lot of experienced professionals to work with! With a little time to spare between the ceremony and reception, the bridal party stopped at the Toledo Museum of Art and the always gorgeous Lights before Christmas at The Toledo Zoo.






Katy Boyle and Dustin Williams tied the knot at St. Joseph's Sylvania with a stunning reception at the Sylvania Country Club. Katy and Dustin are both resident doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ so thankfully our typically frigid Ohio weather wasn't as bad as it normally is! Katy's family lives in Sylvania, so the wedding party stayed toasty indoors and had many of their formal photos taken at her family home. Dustin's aunts are florists from California and flew in some spectacular flowers, and the always wonderful Bartz Viviano Flowers allowed them to borrow their workspace to make their arrangements. So a special thanks to Bartz Viviano for helping Katy and Dustin's wedding day beautiful!









Congratulations to our New Year's Eve couples, it was a great way to bring in the new year!
