To say that Dina and I hit it off from the second we met would be an understatement....I believe we were just destined to work together and become friends because boy did we have fun working on this wedding! Dina is a super glamour girl and she really wanted a luxurious and romantic wedding day for her and Jason. These two are so in love and it shows whenever you are around them. Not only do they love each other, but they love everyone around them as well! It was just such a pleasure and honor to help Dina find her perfect wedding venue, the Cleveland Renaissance Hotel, and work with her on all of the vendor and design details for over a year up until August 13, 2011.
She and Jason are both Italian so we used some romantic Italian influences throughout the design of the wedding. They are parents to Roxy, a yellow labrador retriever, so she made a special appearance at the wedding....as an ice sculpture positioned on our long wedding bar!
Don't miss our specialty drink chalkboards, with each a drink for the "Sposa" and "Sposo", and our gorgeous wedding cake from Flour Girl designed after the details on Dina's wedding dress (that we had to keep both a secret from Jason during the planning).
I could go on and on but I will let these beautiful pictures speak for themselves. Congratulations you two! I know you will continue to have a very happy and romantic life together!!!
Notes from Dina on Kirkbrides Facebook page:
Dina: I mean these pictures are more than words can describe! When I closed my eyes before the wedding day this is what I dreamed of, then when kirkbrides showed me the room before the reception my dream came true! Thank you all! such an amazing night!!!!!!

Judging by the spectacular ring on Jenni's finger (picture below!), I knew right away that Gene wanted to give his beautiful bride the world! From the very beginning, Jenni and Gene never strayed from their vision of their wedding day. The only issue was where and when it would happen... two minor details! Jenni was concerned about her church hall transforming into the ballroom setting she had hoped for and her wedding date was up in the air. Luckily, they chose a gorgeous October day. It was 80 degrees and sunny! They also settled on the church hall that rivaled any hotel ballroom in New York City once it was transformed with lighting and drapery courtesy of Rock the House. The linens and chair covers finished the tables that held varying centerpieces all in muted cream and pink tones. Z Media captured the details beautifully.
One of the reasons that I love this job is because I get to know such amazing couples and Jenni and Gene were no exception. Jenni was always calm and collected and Gene compliments her perfectly. I had the pleasure of getting to know Vicki, Jenni's mom as well. It made wedding day that much more special because Heather, my assistant and I felt like part of the family. I received this beautiful note from Jenni and Gene that I wanted to share. I wish them a lifetime of beautiful days ahead!
Dear Allison,
Thank you so much for all of your help in preparing, planning and executing our wedding! I had a vision in mind but everything about our wedding far surpassed our expectations. Your day of coordination was invaluable to both my mom and I- we keep saying "Thank God Allison and her staff were there to take care of that!" You handled so many details we never even considered and you were always there when I or my guests needed anything. There is no doubt a wedding planner is a must and I will recommend all my friends to you and Kirkbrides with confidence! Please use me as a reference if you need. Thanks again for everything.
With Love,
Gene and Jenni Kent
