Boy oh boy y’all! Do I have the wedding to make your ears and eyes swoon! Eric and Natalie LOVE music and got married at their favorite music venue in Portland! Holocene is where they spent a lot of time checking out bands while they were dating so it only made sense to start the first day of the rest of their lives together in such a hot spot! The love birds named all of their tables after the bands they saw there together, complete with little bios about each band! What a great way to include their guests into tidbits of what brought Eric and Natalie together! As if their wedding wasn’t visually musical enough, just wait until you check out the playlist! Loads of hand-picked tunes to keep feet tapping and hearts happy! The couple gave away a mix CD featuring bands that they had both seen – LOVE that idea!
