a wedding in an ice chapel...

Well, whoever thought!  I was intrigued and surprised when a client/friend said, if she were to marry her long-time boyfriend, it would be in the ice chapel followed by a night staying at the Ice Hotel and much more.  My response was what!
Her desire for a unique wedding experience was not so bazaar, as from the months between December - April, that is exactly what brides and grooms are doing.  We've had a great time, giving this attention.  So, if there is any wedding or honeymoon desires or dreams you may have, don't shelve them.  Give us a call and I bet we can coordinate it...
