Chippewa Club

WOW! That, in one word, sums up my feelings of Meredith and Matt’s reception. Their families are awesome, and were referred to me by an equally amazing family, who you may recall from Kristina’s wedding back in January.

Tents outside at Chippewa Club

Meredith and Matt’s reception took place at the beautiful Chippewa Club in Iron Mountain. The Chippewa Club is a beautiful refurbished home built in 1898 sitting on top of a hill. Lyn and her staff were excellent to work with. Meredith and Matt’s guest count reached 240 people so due to the limited space in the main rooms of the Chippewa Club, we had guests dining upstairs and outside in the big tent as well. This made coordinating the event a little tricky, but with the help of wonderful professionals such as Lyn, Keith Freeman of Freeman’s Photography and Bill Thum of Superior Productions for videography, everything went off without a hitch.

Why a child's tuxedo costs $100!

Outside, kids were playing and I guess this is the reason why you have to pay $100 for a children’s tuxedo! Meredith and Matt’s first dance was beautiful and Superior Productions showed a beautiful video encompassing their life stories just before.

Meredith and Matt's First Dance

Gary and Meredith shared their Father Daughter dance next, along with Matt and Kathy with the Mother Son dance.

Once the dancing started, the crowd was rocking…so much so that the chandeliers in the room for dancing were SWINGING from the ceiling due to all of the movement from the guests on the old wooden dance floor.

It was a great reception…everyone had a blast and I’m thankful that clients such as Meredith and Matt allowed me to be a part of their day.

Family after a fun night!
