Ashton and Dyllan celebrated their wedding on a gorgeous October day surrounded by their closest family and friends. After months of planning and making changes due to COVID, their wedding day came together perfectly! Despite the curveballs COVID tried to throw at them, Ashton and Dyllan rolled with the punches and never lost sight of what matters most…saying “I Do!”
The Venue + Décor
What drew you to The Colonnade?
Multiple things drew us to The Colonnade. I loved the fact that we could be inside & outside. We loved the industrial feel of the venue & we also loved that catering was included. That took a huge LOAD off our backs when it came to planning what people would eat & drink.
- Ashton, Bride
It was a beautiful fall day for a courtyard ceremony and the intimate dinner reception that followed. The couple incorporated fall colors into their décor. Ashton created all of the table signs and welcome sign out of acrylic plexiglass and paint which helped to pull the classic wedding style together. Their guests loved the custom crossword puzzles provided for entertainment at their tables. One of the most memorable moments for the couple occured when Dyllan’s father played a video of well-wishes from family that lived out of the country since they were unable to travel.
The Vendors
Jaime [Venue & Catering Manager] was my favorite thing about working with Revolution Mill Events. I can't imagine managing multiple crazy couple's weddings every month, let alone during a pandemic. She kept me sane, she answered all my questions, and she really helped make sure we had a wonderful wedding.
