Lara + Jonathan’s September 2019 Nicollet Island Pavilion wedding was nothing short of magic! From the beautiful weather that allowed them to have their Jewish Ceremony outdoors just as they imagined it, to the romantic ambiance of their Reception that was filled with thoughtful speeches, a lot of laughter, & a packed dance floor, this day was a dream come true!
Lara + Jonathan, who met in the anatomy lab in medical school, truly were such a kind, loving, and thoughtful couple, who our planner LOVED working with! It truly was a wedding that we will never forget, and we are so excited to share with you the below photos of their special day! xoxo
Thank you to the INCREDIBLE team of vendors that helped us make this day perfection.
