Lauren and Thomas’ wedding was a joyous celebration filled with love, tradition, and meaningful tributes. They exchanged vows at St. Louis Catholic Church in a beautiful late-May ceremony, embracing the sacredness of a traditional Catholic service. The love and presence of Thomas’ parents, who had passed away was felt throughout the day. Following their ceremony, the wedding party took pictures at the elegant George Eastman House, before heading to the the luxurious Arbor Midtown in the heart of Rochester, New York. Lauren and Thomas’ reception at Arbor Midtown was a stunning blend of historic elegance and modern charm, with the venue’s restored 1920s architecture—natural stone travertine flooring, marble-clad columns, and hand-sculpted wall friezes—creating a timeless and sophisticated atmosphere for their celebration.
During the reception, Lauren’s sister and Thomas’ brothers delivered heartfelt speeches that reflected their deep bond and love for each other. Uptown Groove kicked off the night with incredible energy creating an amazing atmosphere for Lauren and Thomas’ celebration. There was also a special bagpipe performance and Irish dancing from loved ones which added a personal touch. My favorite moment of the night was when Thomas shouted out “This is my wife!” during their first dance, while the guests erupted in applause. We wish Lauren and Thomas nothing but the best!
