DJ: Michael’s Entertainment, Richard Summersett Photographer: Spencer Penfield Violinist: Shawn Boucke Officiant: Nichole Bertucci, A Simple I Do Wedding Officiants Venue: Shepherds Hollow Golf and Banquet, Clarkston Michigan Kevin and Lindsey got married on a bright and sunny day in April of 2024 at Shepherds Hollow Golf Course and Banquets. Let's start with the venue, Shephards Hollow of Clarkston: Exchanging your vows is a moment you'll remember for the rest of your life. Our team wants to make this moment truly magical for you. Your guests will be ushered in to our fountain area with an incredible view of the pines. You will walk down the aisle for all your guests to see and you and your love will say “I do” amidst the pine trees. The Inclusions In addition to the gorgeous private space to exchange your vows, our team will be on hand to assist you and your bridal party down the aisle. 100 white padded folding chairs are included with your ceremony. Additional chairs are available for $5 each. The Shepherd's Hollow team will take care of all set up and tear down. Rehearsal Services A member of our events team will schedule and coordinate a ceremony rehearsal for you the week of your wedding. Rehearsals take 30 minutes and a member of our events team is on hand to execute this with your officiant. These are scheduled two months prior to your wedding. Bridal Suite Enjoy the privacy and elegance of our luxurious bridal suite as you get ready on your wedding day. The space features five styling stations for hair and make up, comfortable seating, ample closet space and a private terrace overlooking the pines. Suite rental includes cheese & crackers, fruit and mini sandwiches for your bridal party, along with a complimentary bottle of champagne. The Bridal Suite is available for brides having their ceremony and reception on-site only. Rental of the space is $1500. The space would be available for 5 hour prior to your ceremony and is only available pre-ceremony. Should you be interested in additional time to get ready, an added cost per hour would apply. Pricing Wedding Ceremonies start at $2500 and are available only when your reception is held on-site. Seasons We offer wedding ceremonies here across all seasons. Outdoor ceremonies are an option even during the winter months at the client's preference. It's magical here when it snows and can create a beautiful experience for you and your guests. Should you prefer, we also offer an option for indoor ceremony in the winter months. Now onto the couple's ceremony details. We began their ceremony by welcoming their guests and then asking folks to refrain from taking photos during their ceremony, this is an important aspect as you truly want your guests shining smiles in your photos instead of their phones covering their faces. We talked about their love story, how they met, their first date and encounters and of course their proposal story. They exchanged vows and rings and then closed with a kiss and a very happy walk back down the aisle. I was happy to lead them through the process of creating a great ceremony for them and then of course sharing that ceremony with their guests in a way that invited them in and held them captive until the end.

Intimate Ceremony hosted at the Detroit Foundation HotelPerform a perfect intimate ceremony at the Foundation Hotel in Detroit? When my friend and one of my favorite photographers Shelby of Monnette Co reached out to me to ask if I would participate in an elopement giveaway the yes was fast and easy! Joey and Kayla were the winners of a contest Shelby held to giveaway an intimate wedding at the Detroit Foundation Hotel. I was thrilled to write a custom wedding ceremony script for them and to work with them to curate the perfect ceremony. In March of 2024 I met them at the Foundation Hotel in Detroit where we took off down the aisle and performed the custom ceremony we had worked on together. After the ceremony we signed their marriage license to make it legal and then they were off for photos and the perfect intimate dinner at the Detroit Foundation Hotel and Apparatus Room.

Intimate weddings or elopements are small gatherings for your wedding ceremony and celebration. Once thought of as the two of you running away in secrecy to marry is now replaced with the notion of simply the required 2 witnesses or a small gathering of 20 or less guests. Your elopement or intimate wedding can include a ceremony only or a hosted meal to celebrate afterwards. The idea of your intimate or elopement wedding ceremony is to keep it stress free on both you and your wallet. Hosting a smaller wedding allows you to truly focus on the intent of the day, marrying the love of your life and celebrating that love. Why you should consider an intimate wedding ceremony or elopement? Hosting a smaller wedding ceremony allows you to spend less money all while focusing on your love. Not only will you save money on food, drink and venue and florals but you'll be able to bring together the elements that really matter to you. With a smaller guest count you may be able to book the venue of your dreams and host a weekday wedding ceremony or buy the extravagant florals you dreamed of because you simply need fewer of them. And of course having fewer guests really makes the moment intimate and all about the two of you. Where can you host your intimate or elopement style wedding ceremony? Many wedding venues host smaller events but I reccomend considering a day time or weekday booking for this. Here at A Simple I Do we offer 3 private studios for rent that are perfect for your smaller wedding ceremony. Pontiac 2 Studio for rent for your intimate wedding ceremonyLocated in the Treasury Building in downtown Pontiac is our beloved Pontiac 2 studio which is the perfect rental for your intimate wedding ceremony. This studio can host up to 20 guests. The Pontiac 2 studio has eclectic seating for your guests and the one room studio offers the space for you to be hidden and walk down the aisle if you like.
Hosting an intimate ceremony has never been easier when renting the Pontiac 2 studio. Check out the photos below for inspiration for your wedding ceremony. Please note if you would like to bring in your own floral decor it must be approved by NICHOLE BERTUCCI. |
