Leslie and Mike are such warm and fun people who are so in love with each other and their wedding day was extraordinary in every way.
It was everything I hoped for and so much more!! 🙂
Leslie did a fantastic job organizing and coordinating the wedding down to the last detail.
The ceremony, the reception and the after party took place at Carltun on the Park, a fabulous location.

The dance floor was packed all night. Â This dance started out as the Tarantela but somehow turned into the Hora. Â It was a lot of fun!

After the formal reception ended, the couple and their guests headed upstairs to the cigar lounge where cigars and hot dogs were passed out and a DJ was spinning the latest club hits. Â It was so awesome!!
Isn’t this a great portrait of Mike?
