To begin, I know I’ve discussed Firestone’s grounds before, so let me expand on their venue room. It is one of the most versatile Country Club venues in the Akron area. I watched this space transform from a meeting area into your classic ballroom or a colorful affair. Julie & Max’s wedding had a beautiful modern mixture of those two, and it was the attention to detail that did it! To put it simply: it should be in a Wedding Hall of Fame.
Firstly, Julie’s sister designed everything, and she and her amazing florist pulled it all together. Secondly, I must note, that this wedding planner coordinated seven different rental vendors for this event! WOW! From the chairs to their outdoor ceremony to their linens! Also did you see that seating chart yet? Color blocking to a tee (yes, I made a golf pun). Thirdly, instead of opting for a typical DJ, Julie and Max booked The Cleveland Keys which are live dueling pianos. They even selected a black and white checkered dance floor, which gave this reception an ultimate unique vibe!
In addition, take note of their outdoor ceremony! This was the very first Firestone Country Club wedding couple to say their vows on the North Course by the 16th hole looking over the water. Right on a beautiful hillside, overlooking the grounds, Julie and her dad drove in a golf cart to the aisle. The summer breeze made it incredibly relaxing and with the musician playing, it felt like the magic was truly in the air.
Their souls intertwine with sparkle and fairytale magic! I’m speechless just thinking about them. Take a look at their day below (and don’t miss the drink napkins with their pup’s face on them). Go on, tell me if you feel it too! // xo
