The Boat House Columbus. Jessica and Martin are married.

This night.

When Jessica and Martin got married, we did NOT want the party to end.  Ever.  These two were so much fun, and their friends and family were absolutely on board for a non-stop dance celebration.

Jessica and Martin started with a beautiful wedding at Franklin Park Conservatory earlier in the afternoon. They finished up photos with their wedding party, and then were the first to arrive at their reception so they could greet their guests and enjoy their cocktail hour. That helped set the tone for a fabulous reception.

Their music choices were all inspired, eclectic, and perfect for them!  We loved it all. Take a peek at this super short video that hints at the fun at The Boat House Columbus.

Lots of love and happiness to you Jessica and Martin – thanks for letting us be in on the party!
