Detroit Symphony Orchestra Wedding Ceremony

Prior to their main ceremony, the couple signed their custom Ketubah with an intimate circle of family and friends. Along with their other stationery, I was honored to create their Ketubah for them.

Ellie and Mitch’s guests each received a real DSO ticket, and were then escorted (by DSO ushers) to their seat inside Orchestra Hall. This Detroit Symphony Orchestra wedding took place on stage, accompanied by live orchestral musicians. A moment for the chuppah. Wow.

Glam Design Details

Ellie and Mitch had an ultra-glam, black tie reception. Their black, gold, and pink accents carried through to the big day.

As guests entered, they had their photo taken on a red carpet with a step-and-repeat backdrop, featuring the couple’s wedding emblem.

As an onsite experience, they brought it Nicole Jarecz for fashion illustrations of each guest. They also had DSO musicians playing throughout the cocktail hours.
