Brenna & Matt
July 6, 2024 – Frutig Farms in Dexter
Wedding Story
Matt and Brenna’s Frutig Farms wedding day unfolded with a natural ease and taking time to soak in each moment. It was a perfect setting that echoed their love for Michigan’s countryside. Their journey began together 10 years ago at The College of Wooster. This is where they first met and discovered a shared passion for soccer.
Ceremony & Cocktail Hour:
The ceremony took place among trees in a tranquil grove. Locally sourced wildflower arrangements lined the aisle, creating a natural and serene pathway for Matt and Brenna’s vows. Their officiant was their good friend Andrew, whose presence added a personal touch and intimate element to their ceremony.
After the heartfelt ceremony, guests gathered on the barnyard lawn to enjoy cocktails that showcased Matt and Brenna’s favorite drinks. One was Brenn’s Cup, an American twist on the British classic Pimm’s Cup. This is a refreshing blend of Pimm’s liquor, lemonade, and a medley of fresh fruits and herbs. Along with an Espresso Martini, a smooth concoction of espresso, vodka, and coffee liqueur. Last but not least, was the Jaffa Spritz, which they lovingly named after their dog. This was a bubbly mix of club soda, freshly squeezed lemon juice, white wine, and a lemon slice.
Reception & Beyond:
Dinner was a true celebration of Mediterranean flavors. The curated dining experience began with Creole Ratatouille on baguette with fresh herbs. Then followed by Mediterranean chicken with fresh citrus and herb, french baked rice and broccolini with Reggiano cheese. Everything was all sourced locally to highlight the best of Michigan’s seasonal produce.
Dessert was a delightful array of options, including Lemon Sour Cream Cake and Flourless Chocolate Cake. This also included cookies made by Brenna’s mom and had baklava made by a good friend. Then the dance floor was buzzing with excitement as everyone danced joyfully into the night.
Matt and Brenna’s wedding day at Fruitg Farms was a true reflection of their shared passions and unique personalities. Every detail from the ceremony to the signature cocktails, gourmet dinner and rustic elegance of the venue—spoke of their journey together and the love they shared for each other.
