Amanda & Ross's Summer Wedding Celebration at Walnut Grove

From the start Amanda & Ross were so much fun to plan with. Brian had the pleasure of being their DJ/MC for their special wedding celebration at the beautiful Walnut Grove. To personize their day even more, we had them curate a handful of great trivia questions about the couple and then Brian had some fun with their family and friends to release them to an amazing buffet dinner prepared by Command Performance. Seriously...it is sooo good. When dancing started up again after dinner, everyone was ready to go and on the floor dancing up a storm untill the very last song.
