We love a good legacy. So when Renee contacted us in early 2019 to see if Sticky Boots was available for her upcoming 2020 wedding, we knew right away it was going to be a great party!

LYDIA & MITCH'S COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING IN ...

Elcona Country Club in Bristol, Indiana, is a beautiful wedding venue all year long. It especially shines with the well-manicured grounds are filled with stunning fall color. Lydia and Mitch's early November wedding featured some of the most dazzling fall colors we had this year.

KARALYN & DAN'S BEAUTIFUL WEDDING AT ROCK ...

The start of fall in Elkhart County is beautiful.  You can see the stunning shades of red, orange and yellow start to develop. Combined this with golden-pink sunsets, farmers harvesting their fields, big red barns, and winding lanes and you've got an Instagram-worthy backdrop for your wedding!

This is exactly the vibe that Karalyn and Dan wanted for the wedding ceremony and reception. This Fort Wayne-based couple found Rock Run Creek Barn online and fell in love. Why wouldn't they?  It has all of those make-our-Midwestern-hearts-swell amenities, it's an 1850’s restored barn that is heated and features inside restrooms ... oh, and it's handicap accessible! Such a big WIN for these fall days where the sun in shining but isn't providing a lot of warmth!

MEGAN & TONY'S ELCONA COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING ...

Elcona Country Club is at the foot of the Bristol Hills and has a beautiful club house ballroom that overlooks the 18th green and 10th tee. The weather on this Saturday was exactly what you’d hope for with a wedding in early October - sunny skies, slight breeze and a temperature that wasn't too hot nor too cold.. And DANG, did this couple get the perfect combination of both! 

Megan and Tony chose the Platinum entertainment package for their wedding reception based on both a recommendation from friends, and having grown up listening to Sticky Boots on the radio.  Couples like that normally have a good idea of what the Sticky Boots experience is like and know how to have a good time, and as soon as we met Megan and Tony, we knew for certain this was going to be a super-fun wedding!

21ST NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER WEDDING FOR CARRIE ...

Just off the shores of Lake Wawasee on 27 acres of forested land in Syracuse, Oakwood Resort provides a stunning backdrop for almost any type of event. The only type of event it's not good for is one that doesn't want beautiful lake views, well-manicured grounds or a helpful staff to make sure the event goes off without a hitch. Those events may be out there, but we have yet to find one - ha!

We met Carrie and Nick via Facetime for their initial consultation. We knew that they were going to be a great couple to work with for a lot of reasons. Not only were they fun, they also became aware of The Music Place from their support and participation of the Wawasee Kiwanis Trivia Fundraiser we are a part of every year.

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!

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.

Sometimes, even when everything seems to be going wrong, the right people will still find a way to make everything work out. Zoe, Chris, and their families were a prime example of turning lemons into lemonade when their 300 person wedding extravaganza at one of the area’s best venues was transformed into a 21 person intimate backyard event … and it couldn’t have been more perfect!

Some think having a wedding reception in your backyard is a cheap and easy alternative to a fancy venue. Spoiler alert: It’s not. BUT, for those up to the challenge, it will be unique, very personal, and with the right setting and vendor team, absolutely magical. Read on to see how Elkhart couple Ashley and Tyson absolutely nailed all three!

When you’ve been together for 14 years, have four daughter’s together, and all of your friends and family stopped asking about a wedding a decade ago, a pesky worldwide pandemic from an unknown virus might be enough to make an average couple say, “You know what? I think we’re good for now.” But Amber and Michael are no average couple, and they weren’t going to let anything stand in their way on this special day.

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!
