Nichole Bertucci Officiates at Planterra

There's nothing like a December wedding at Planterra in West Bloomfield. The snow falling outside gives way to the warmth that is the greenhouse of Planterra. 

Audry and Josh were such a loving and kind couple to work with. When creating their wedding ceremony we focused on their love story and reminding them why they are standing facing each other on their wedding day. They wrote and shared their own vows and included the love letter box unity ceremony. Their wedding ceremony was filled with so much love and support from their guests. It was a honor and joy to stand with them!

Having officiated several weddings at Shinola hotel in downtown Detroit I can personally tell you that the venue oozes elegance and romance at every turn. The architecture, decor and staff are all amazing and stunning. The staff continuously shows their care for each event, they are always on top of every detail. Each event planner I have worked with pays close attention to all the details making each vendors job that much smoother and thus allowing each couple to truly enjoy their wedding day. I would always recommend Shinola Hotel

Intimate wedding at the Oakley, Holly Michigan

I love a small ceremony with your closest friends and family by your side. There is something about an intimate ceremony that allows the stress to float away and the focus to really be on the love and joy of the couple. 

The Oakley wedding venue is in Holly Michigan and has the the sweetest and kindest owners you'll meet. Their intention is truly to provide you the best wedding day experience possible. 

The Oakley in Holly has a beautiful greenhouse where they host intimate weddings and they have put together a great inclusive intimate wedding day package. Simply add on catering, bar and me and you are set! 

While I love a good elopement in the park, sometimes you want a little more for your wedding day and The Oakley in Holly Michigan offers just that.

5.1.21 Wedding at Grand Belle, Holly mi

Sweet people well loved by family host a beautiful wedding at Grand Belle in Holly, Michigan

Sarah and Justin gathered their closest family and friends to host their wedding at the Grand Belle in Holly, Michigan. The groom wore the best grey converse and the bride had on her perfect white sneakers. Sarah's lace covered wedding dress suited the venue perfectly. 

The venue the Grand Belle just outside of downtown Holly, Michigan is a beautiful refurbished barn and grounds. The ceremony takes place just in front of the barn on the grass lawn. With the wedding party entering the ceremony from the huge barn doors and then taking a walk down the grass covered aisle to land at the perfect spot just under the big maple trees. 

​
Picture
One of my absolute favorite things about their wedding was their grandmothers who served as their flower girls. Let me repeat that...GRANDMOTHERS AS FLOWERGIRLS! As a person who just adored my own grandmother I would relish the opportunity to relive my wedding and have her be my flower girl, she would have loved that! 
Picture

The lesson here is to hold your family front and center can be a beautiful thing, creating the most amazing memories of your wedding day, not just for the two of you, but for your family as well. Support from your community whether it be family by blood or your choosing is nothing we take for granted.

Congrats to Sarah and Justin! Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding day Officiant. 

Locations for a small wedding or Signing

6/27/2021

 

Battle Alley, Downtown Holly Mi 

Picture
Battle Alley, downtown Holly MI is located in the heart of downtown Holly, it is a side street lined with shops and bistro lights and tables and chairs set out for public use. The murals and atmosphere lend itself to a quaint setting for your signing service. This is an all outdoor space, so be prepared for the elements or to duck into the local coffee shop or bakery if needed. I love this space for the hallmark movie feels and the pictures! 

Waterworks Park, Holly MI 

Picture
Just outside of downtown Holly is a slip of land called Waterworks Park, its a great drop in site for kayakers but it also has this great natural stream side space for a small ceremony or signing. This is an outdoor only location, be prepared for the elements if necessary. I love this park for the natural backdrop it provides. 

Bush Park, Fenton MI 

Picture
Just outside of downtown Fenton is Bush Park, if you enter off of Leroy Road you land right at the Gazebo which is available to rent or we can take a walk and find the perfect spot near the stream or willow trees for your intimate ceremony or signing. I love this park for the many options of spaces it provides and having a covered gazebo in case of rain certainly is nice. Remember this is a public park so there will be people, dogs and others milling about and enjoying the scene. 

Indoor Suggestions

If you are looking for an indoor space for your intimate wedding or signing I suggest renting one of the many rooms at the Fenton Community Center. May I also suggest a weekday booking with them as you can get a room for an hour for around $50! Cost efficient and pretty!
