Maggie + Michael’s Modern Boho Wedding

Maggie and Michael celebrated their love with a modern, boho wedding last winter with romantic and personal touches at The Bell Tower. 

Maggie, one of our very own event coordinators, has worked in the hospitality industry for over 10 years and started out at the local Tin Roof. She was bartending for a mutual friend's wedding when Michael decided to finally make a move after knowing each other for eight years! 

When it came time to pop the question, the pair had been traveling around Europe for three weeks when Michael got down on one knee on the top of Jungfraujoch in the Swiss Alps. How amazing! 

As they started their planning process, they knew it was most important to be able to celebrate with family and friends. Maggie and Michael chose The Bell Tower not only for its looks but for “the fully in-house planning and catering team.” To them, it was very appealing once they “realized how stressful juggling a million vendors was going to be.”

Their ceremony featured plenty of boho details, like a wooden arch at the altar with pampas arrangements and an aisle lined with white petals and pillar candles. Maggie made a grand entrance in her  tulle-layered gown holding an heirloom sixpence attached to her burgundy and ivory florals. 

After the two exchanged vows, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with passed appetizers, such as candied bacon and pepper jelly pimento cheese bruschetta, as the event staff flipped the main space. 

Maggie and Michael kicked off the reception with a first dance to “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran performed by Lauren Alaina, who was also alongside Michael and his groomsmen on this special day!

For dinner, guests sat down to tables decorated with modern geometric vases and boho elements of deep florals and greenery. They enjoyed a delectable buffet dinner that featured dishes of grilled asparagus, roasted Brussel sprouts, garlic parmesan mashed potatoes, lemon herb baked chicken, and herb grilled salmon. Yum!

The night continued with lots of dancing and a specialty ice cream sundae bar before The Bell Tower’s bells rang in celebration, and the couple drove away in a classy Rolls Royce.
