When two people from different worlds come together, their wedding day becomes a beautiful story of love, culture, and unity. Bincy and Steven’s wedding at the Royal Park Hotel in downtown Rochester, Michigan, was exactly that—a celebration filled with meaningful traditions, joyful moments, and a stunning setting that made their special day unforgettable.
The Perfect Venue in the Heart of Rochester
Royal Park Hotel stands out as a wedding venue for couples looking for elegance and charm close to Auburn Hills and Detroit. Its Belgian Glass Conservatory offers a breathtaking backdrop with natural light and lush greenery, creating a fairy tale atmosphere. For Bincy and Steven, this venue was more than just a location—it was the perfect canvas for their love story.
The conservatory’s glass walls and ceiling allowed guests to feel connected to the outdoors while enjoying the comfort of an indoor space. This blend of nature and sophistication set the tone for the entire celebration, making every moment feel magical.
A Love Story Rooted in Friendship and Friendly Rivalry
Bincy and Steven’s relationship began in high school as friends. Their connection grew stronger despite attending rival universities - Steven at the University of Michigan and Bincy at Michigan State. Weekend trips kept their bond alive, proving that distance and competition could not keep them apart.
Their personalities complemented each other well. Bincy’s organized and driven nature balanced Steven’s laid-back attitude, while Steven encouraged Bincy to relax and enjoy the moment. This dynamic was evident throughout their wedding day, where everything flowed smoothly and joyfully.
Seamless Planning and Coordination
Behind every flawless wedding is a team working diligently to bring the couple’s vision to life. Loren Taylor of LDT Events and Larana, the Royal Park Hotel coordinator, ensured the day ran without a hitch. Their attention to detail and calm presence allowed Bincy and Steven to focus on celebrating with their loved ones.
From timing the ceremony to coordinating vendors, their teamwork made the day stress-free. This level of professionalism is crucial for couples who want to enjoy their wedding without worrying about logistics.
Capturing Timeless Memories
The wedding was beautifully documented by photographer Madalyn Muncy, whose timeless images captured the essence of the day. Each photo tells a story—from the intimate moments during the ceremony to the lively celebrations at the reception.
Videographer Katie, owner of 97 Films, expertly balanced capturing the event without interrupting the flow. Her unobtrusive style ensured that the couple and their guests felt comfortable, resulting in authentic footage that highlights the people and experiences that mattered most.
A Ceremony Rich in Tradition and Meaning
Bincy and Steven’s ceremony was a heartfelt blend of their cultural backgrounds. Betsy, Bincy’s sister, officiated the event, adding a personal touch that made the moment even more special.
One of the highlights was the Thali Ceremony, a South Indian Hindu and Christian tradition where the groom places a sacred necklace, called the thali or mangalsutra, around the bride’s neck. This act symbolizes their union, commitment, and blessings for a happy marriage. The thali serves as a powerful emblem of marital status and good fortune.
Steven’s Jewish heritage was honored with the breaking of the glass, a joyful tradition that marks the conclusion of the ceremony. Guests shouted "Mazel Tov" as the glass shattered, celebrating the couple’s new life together. The moment was perfectly complemented by the song “This Will Be An Everlasting Love,” adding a joyful soundtrack to their vows.
Entertainment That Surprised and Delighted
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails accompanied by our string quartet playing favorite hits chosen by Bincy and Steven. We enjoy surprising guests with unexpected covers like "Billie Jean," "Give Me Everything," and "Seven Nation Army," which energized the crowd and created a lively atmosphere.
This choice of music reflected the couple’s personalities—classic yet modern, traditional yet playful. It also showed how entertainment can be personalized to make a wedding reception truly memorable.

Bincy and Steven’s wedding at Royal Park Hotel was more than a celebration; it was a story of love, culture, and family coming together in a beautiful setting.
