Annie and Michael’s love story began on the University of Dayton campus, where they first crossed paths as students. As Flyers, their connection grew naturally in the close-knit environment of UD, where friendships and relationships flourish. It was only fitting that their wedding journey started at the UD Chapel, a place that holds so much meaning for the couple. As they exchanged vows, they reflected on their college years together—years filled with laughter, growth, and shared memories. From their college days to their beautiful wedding day, Annie and Michael’s relationship has been a testament to the strength of love, rooted in the place they first met. They continuing the celebration at Carillon Park, just a short distance away. The close proximity of these two iconic Dayton locations made it easy for guests to transition seamlessly between events, allowing everyone to enjoy the day without missing a beat.

The celebration continued at Carillon Park, where Bernstein’s Catering passed cocktails to keep the bar line short, allowing guests to mix and mingle before the evening’s grand entrance. Annie and Michael made their grand entrance by descending Carillon’s iconic steps, a moment that perfectly set the stage for their first dance as husband and wife.

Testimonial: “Being the father of the bride and concerned with huge wedding costs I was skeptical about paying for a wedding coordinator. Amy and her team were well worth it! Amy was extremely responsive to all our questions, offered great advice, and had preexisting relationships with the vendors which made things run smoothly. Her pleasant, calm demeanor was much appreciated. I expected to have some hiccups on the big day, but everything ran flawlessly thanks in large part to Amy and her team. I highly recommend Glass and Grace Events!”
