Packard Proving Grounds has quickly become a sought after location for those couples looking for a “rustic industrial” venue. Located on Van Dyke in Shelby Township, the facilities provide clients with a blank canvas on which to create their own feel for their wedding day. Sara and Donovan had the help of friends and family to create their dream wedding day. Cousin Jason Schneider officiated the wedding which included the song “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne for the processional and the theme from “Star Wars” for the recessional.
Twinkling lights in wine bottles amidst the snow led guests from the ceremony to the reception hall and that’s where Sara and Donovan’s dream became reality. Sara shared with us that they wanted a “relaxed feel” for their wedding day where their guests could “visit and share conversation.” It was this goal that led them to use our string quartet for their reception instead of a DJ or band. Often the music is so loud that guests have difficulty talking. While dancing is enjoyable, many couples want the opportunity to visit with their guests in a casual setting. We played a wide mix of music and took requests while the guests enjoyed an outstanding meal provided by Kristina’s Catering . A&D Photography was on hand to capture the memories and created some beautiful shots around the antique Packard cars. It was a lovely night for everyone involved and we send our very best wishes to Donovan and Sara!
