Married! // Adam + Tim Part 2

Surprise and delight! Shock and awe! These are just some of the words that kept circulating the room during the entire day of Tim and Adam’s wedding. It was a day rooted in love, no matter how many cool things were around the corner, which made the day feel completely grounded and special, too. If you haven’t checked out Part 1 of Adam + Tim’s blog post, I encourage you to do so! The weekend kicked off with an incredible rehearsal dinner experience and the wedding day was a continuation of all food-inspired-fun.

Gretchen Culver of Rocket Science Events brought a grand vision to life for Tim and Adam. Together with an all-star-list of carpenters, vendors, AV, lighting, musicians and serving staff, she designed two spaces. One that brought together a beautiful intimate ceremony where Adam and Tim read their own vows (and I swear there wasn’t a dry eye in the room) to a completely transformed restaurant-inspired space for the reception. This was the room flip of all room flips. Tim and Adam wanted to carry on the theme of hospitality for their guests - with surprises along the way. After their ceremony, guests were welcomed into cocktail hour by the fabulous Minneapolis drag queen herself, Luna Muse. Custom pull tabs, prizes, an oyster shucker and roaming violinists entertained the crowd while down below people were hard at work installing chandeliers, building custom tables and bringing in beautiful floral. When it was time to eat, guests were welcomed by name by Gretchen and her team where they were then sat individually at their tables. Wow. What a stage to set.

Adam and Tim worked with the team a chefs at D’amico Catering to create a custom menu for the night. What began with the chef’s personal salt & pepper chicken wings and mini Coors lights, each course opened another level of the culinary journey. I also loved the menus, which were designed by Fig.2 Design that kept the theme of the pull tabs rolling. Guests kept a sweet souvenir from the night with custom pottery from Mexico and everyone danced the night away. I particularly loved Adam and Tim’s wardrobe change that kept the energy high and the hits coming on the dance floor!

Above all, what made this day so special was seeing the connection and happiness that absolutely every guest had for Adam and Tim. Everyone is thrilled for them and want to fully celebrate their love.

Adam and Tim, I am so thankful to be a part of your wedding day and to witness your love. You truly have inspired us all.

LOVEe
