Reception Hula-Hoops

Wanting to spend as much time as possible celebrating with their guests, Katherine and Jon decided to skip tradition and do things their own way. “We left out some wedding traditions so that the party could start right after dinner and just keep going,” says Katherine. “We arranged the events in a way that would allow everyone to enjoy the evening as much as possible, from taking the group pictures prior to the ceremony to inviting guests to dance with us during our first dance.”
