From A Kurant Event…On a sunny July day in Eastern Washington, Seattle couple Okeyse Warren and Ben Karas took their vows in front of 60 of their closest friends at Steppe Cellars – a working orchard and tasting room owned by Susan and Tom Garrison. Ben and Okeyse had frequented the cellar’s tasting room so often, and were such big fans of the wine there that they asked the Garrisons if they could get married there and the winemakers were honored to accept!

With many hand-made details including the invites to the menus to the programs and a lot of elbow grease from friends and family and A Kurant Event, the couple turned the orchard outside the tasting room barn in to multiple magical vignettes for each portion of the day.

The ceremony, officiated by a close friend, was nestled in between the rows of cherry trees with a homemade bamboo chuppa and plenty of water and parasols for guests under the sunny skies. Following the ceremony, guests were served appetizers, candy, cocktails, and slushies inside the tasting room barn while listening to the smooth vocal stylings of the Mycle Wastman Band. Dinner was served directly from Skillet’s iconic silver air-stream and guest were invited to sit between the rows of trees decked with candles, flowers, and whimsical tulle pom-pom strings while kids had their very own art table (and contributed to the decor by adding their own pictures to a twine clothesline). After dinner, the groom’s sweet tooth was satisfied by a pie buffet complete with vanilla frozen custard and guests enjoyed an evening of dancing inside the romantically lit old barn while the bride and her friends surprised guests with a flash-mob choreographed dance. It was truly a magical evening from start to finish!

   We hired Garrett Grove Photography, and were very very disappointed. He didn't update the blog with any photos to see prior to receiving the package. The package arrived and the photos were not professionally balanced, edited or cropped. Be very cautious hiring him and be clear with what you want to receive because he said he doesn't do anything past the "big edits" of white balance, exposure, saturation and contrast. It honestly didn't look like those were done. Emails were long in coming, wedding photos were definately a back burner to the outdoor photography. Everyday on facebook he would post new photos of himself skiing.

   To Kassi - those awesome robot toppers were custom made by an artist on Etsy! Aren't they cute?
