We are so excited you're here and would love to help you plan your wedding!

We are Dan & Andrea DeWard. We’ve been married for 30 years as of last St. Patrick’s Day - Yes, we chose St. Patrick’s Day for our wedding and it was amazing!
We have been in the wedding industry for well over 25+ years. When we initially started we thought all weddings were handled the exact same way. Some things we tried worked great and some things did not. We quickly learned every wedding has a unique style and flow to match the bride and groom's vision. That’s when we really started having fun and our business quickly grew.
Over the years we have designed, owned and operated three large wedding venues in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan coordinating and hosting hundreds of ceremonies and receptions for brides and grooms. We have met so many great people! We also owned and operated additional lines of business (with our amazing team) including a bridal gown salon, tuxedo rentals, photography & video studio, DJ company, floral & decor studio, photo booths, limousine, party bus, invitation design and more. Yes, we owned and operated all of those businesses in the wedding industry! We also organized and hosted a large bridal show in West Michigan for a number of years. All that experience and the many professional connections we made along the way led us to this point!
If you are ready to have fun during your wedding planning process, create and stay on budget, connect with a variety of experienced experts and learn tips to create a wedding day timeline - let's connect!
We are happy to meet with you in person, Zoom, FaceTime, email or phone call.
