Ashlie and Clay wanted to share their love of theater by hosting a surprise play as their wedding ceremony! From the custom playbill to the haunted prohibition gambling hall and the hotel once owned by mobsters in the Prohibition era, this historical theater wedding was amazing. Don’t miss the gifts they gave to one another that were the actual sound waves of them speaking their vows to one another!

Jeb and I are an eclectic and creative couple — he makes candles and plays spoons, while I'm a burlesque dancer and costume milliner. Our wedding was very us: a mixture of extravagance and quirkiness where all of our talented friends were included.

Everything from the locally brewed beer to the French champagne toast had a chic and laid-back vibe. They’re animal lovers so they even had a visit from some alpacas!
