Jewish Equestria West Wedding

Real Weddings

It’s all in the detail! Chelsea and Yoni had an extravagant, yet traditional Jewish Equestria West wedding. When we first met with Chelsea and Yoni, they expressed to us that they wanted to be very involved in planning their special day. However, because they are both doctors, their time is limited. They chose to go with a custom package because, although they wanted to be super involved, they needed help finding vendors and bringing their vision to life. We often see this with couples. They want to be very hands-on but aren’t sure what vendors to use. This is where we come in and help!

Chelsea and her party spent the morning getting ready with SM Hair & Makeup in the gorgeous Hotel Emery. Although their Venue was in Chaska, MN, a lot of the wedding events for the weekend were held in Minneapolis. The couple decided that it would be better to book a hotel block in Minneapolis because it was closer to the events. They did book Total Limo to transport the bridal party, which we always recommend if your getting ready venue and the venue are at different places. 

Once hair and makeup were done, they headed over to  Equestria West to get dressed and do the first look and more photos. One thing we absolutely love about this wedding is the attention to detail. Everything from the groom’s bowtie, to the table decorations, to the colors of the wedding party. 

It was now time for the ceremony. The couple actually chose  Equestria West as their venue before it was even finished because they loved the ceremony site that much! Plus, Yoni actually built his own Chuppah (a ceremonial canopy used in traditional Jewish weddings), and they had an amazing tisch and bedeken. Their dogs also made a special appearance down the aisle!

Now for the reception…wow! Chelsea wanted to go all out for the decor. The team at Linen Effects was able to make that happen. We went to Linen Effects with he couple and they picked out some of the beautiful and varied patterns and textures for their linens and tables. Combining those along with some of our decor and decor from Equestria West made for beautiful tables! Plus, Agape Floral absolutely executed the couple’s vision perfectly. 

The couple chose to have a band and a DJ there. The Bluewater Kings Band got the party started and then ended the night with Bellagalla as the DJ. Luckily, Cadence and Eli Photography and Monroe Film and Photo were there to capture every moment. We had a quick dress change, and it was time to dance more!

This East Coast-style wedding was a dream come true! We are grateful to be a part of Chelsea and Yoni’s big day. 

And because we are KUE, obviously we’re going to end the blog with dog pictures!
