Hillary and Chris’ wedding was a true celebration of love, family, and their deep roots in Detroit. Their day began with a heartfelt ceremony at St. Paul on the Lake, followed by an elegant cocktail hour and reception at the iconic Shinola Hotel.
Guests gathered around three long tables for a warm and intimate multi-course, family-style dinner, fostering a beautiful sense of community. As the evening continued, the celebration moved to The Birdy Room, where floor-to-ceiling glass walls showcased the glittering Detroit skyline while everyone danced the night away. Thoughtful personal touches, like a nod to the couple’s shared love of espresso martinis and locally beloved BonBonBon chocolates as guest favors, made the night even more special—an unforgettable tribute to their story and the city they love.
