Zhou B Arts Center Wedding — Karina and Patrick

April 5, 2022

Emily Antonelli Photography

To know Karina & Patrick, is to LOVE this sweet, fun-loving, perfect pair! By the time this couple asked us to be apart of their big day, we had known Patrick for years. We met years ago when planning a corporate event for a company he worked for. After a year-long postponement, we couldn’t have been more excited to help them throw the big celebration they deserved!

The day started out at Marriott Marquis where Karina and her ladies were getting glammed up by Cindy Murrin, Nikki Difiglio, and Kim Marroquin. Karina took a brief moment to read a special note from her soon-to-be husband before slipping into her stunning dress and wowing her loved ones. Meanwhile, our groom was getting ready with his crew. Bo (Karina and Patrick’s adorable pup) even got to spend some time celebrating his humans on wedding day.

Before long, it was time for Karina and Patrick to share their first look. Emily, from Emily Antonelli Photography, made sure this moment was intimate and incredibly special. She captured the most perfect images to prove it!

Soon after, the couple and their loved ones loaded on to the limo provided by MO Star and were whisked away to Zhou B Art Centers Life Garden to capture group photos.

While the group enjoyed their photo ops our team of vendors was hard at work at Zhou B Arts Center creating the ceremony and reception of Karina and Patrick’s dreams.

Hedonia Flowers brought life to the space with their beautiful ceremony arch along with fresh and beautiful floral arrangements. Art of Imagination was there ensuring all decor and lighting were perfectly displayed. They took their time to hang all cafe lights to help to light up both the ceremony and dance floor!

Blue Water Kings sting trio began to play and we knew it was time to get the ceremony started. Adorable nieces, nephews, and Bo made their way down the aisle first. Then, Karina glowed as she was escorted down the aisle by her two loving and devoted parents.

Just like that, Karina and Patrick were married and it was time to celebrate! Cocktail hour began and LM Catering served cold drinks and delicious appetizers to kick off the party.

At the end of cocktail hour, guests were invited upstairs for the main event. Thet bride and groom were the first to take the dance floor surrounded by all the people they love. Heartfelt speeches spoke of the beautiful relationship these two have.

Once dancing kicked off, Blue Water Kings kept the dance floor alive all night long! LM kept a dessert bar supplied with sweet treats to help keep energy going. If treats weren’t your thing Phil’s Pizza supplied a cheesy late night pizza pie!
