I’m SO excited to share Haleigh and Jake’s gorgeous LedgeCrest Reserve Wedding! Haleigh and Jake first met on December 23rd, 2015. They were in downtown Minneapolis for a mutual friend’s 21st birthday party. Haleigh remembers seeing Jake that night and thinking he was cute. Soon after that first encounter, they started dating. Over the years, they’ve been through a lot together but it has only made them stronger!

Jake proposed at the Green Bay Botanical Gardens. Haleigh shares their story, “My cousin texted me asking if I’d come to the gardens to take family photos for their family’s Christmas card. I said no because I wasn’t feeling well, but she insisted. Jake was encouraging me to go so I knew something was up. I decided to put on a brave face, shower, and go. We walked around the grounds taking photos, and then as we were on our way back to the entrance, Jake appeared and took my hand and brought me to an illuminated sign that said ‘Will you marry me?’ He got down on one knee, nervously asked, and I said yes!!! My family then appeared to congratulate us. Following the gardens, we went to Rock Garden for some celebratory drinks!”

Haleigh and Jake were married this July at the beautiful The LedgeCrest Reserve. Every single detail of their wedding day was perfect and thoughtful. During the morning, Haleigh and her bridesmaids got ready in LedgeCrest’s adorable bridal suite. Then we drove over to the Botanical Garden for bride and groom first look and photos. After photos, we went back to LedgeCrest for a sweet ceremony and a super fun reception. Some of my favorite details of the day included having a painter live paint the ceremony, Haleigh and Jake’s three dogs being the flower girl and ring bearers, and the gelato cart that arrived after dinner for guests to enjoy.

Congratulations Haleigh & Jake! Wishing you two lots of love and happiness!

Thanks to all the amazing wedding vendors that helped make Haleigh & Jake’s big day wonderful!
