Kelly wanted to surprise her father by having an Elvis impersonator at their wedding.  Her father is a HUGE fan and it was also his birthday. For most of the night, he was observing and enjoying his daughter’s wedding but when our Elvis arrived, he began to completely loosen up and it was so much fun to see!

Congratulations to Kate and Ge, a sweet couple from Boston, who were married in October at the beautiful Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa!  Their colors were red and chocolate brown which were perfect for this setting.  Besides Kate’s love for the color red, she also wanted to honor her groom’s Chinese heritage. Some of his family flew in all the way from China to witness their wedding! Following a beautiful intimate wedding ceremony with music played by an acoustic guitarist, Kate, Ge, and their family and close friends celebrated with a cocktail style reception.

Congratulations Kate and Ge!
