Name: Joni and Charles Marr 
Wedding Date: July 23rd 2011
Wedding Location (ceremony/reception): Urban Studio, 10th and Davis, Portland, OR
Wedding Time: 6:30pm
How did you and your husband meet: Charles and I met at closing time in a college bar that our friends dragged us to. While our groups were out on the dance floor, we were waiting impatiently to go home. We struck up a conversation about music and politics and the rest is history!
Dress Designer: Mikaela
How was your experience at Charlotte’s: Shopping at Charlotte’s was great. I went to other shops before Charlotte’s and Charlotte’s was superior in customer service and dress selection in my budget ($800 to $1500).
What did you like most about working with Charlotte’s: Organization. Each time I came in, someone different helped me. But they were able to pull my file and know exactly what I needed. I also liked their selection of bridesmaid’s dresses. I ordered all of mine through them and it turned out great.
What did you like most about your wedding: Charles and I worked really hard to have a few surprises and lots of little touches to make it personal for our family and friends. For instance, our signature drink was one of our bridesmaid’s and groomsmen’s favorite drink. And our wedding day was on Charles’ dad’s birthday so we surprised him with his own cupcake with a birthday candle and the entire reception sang “Happy Birthday” to him. We also took great pains to have the music reflect our tastes and we threw in our some of our friend’s and families favorite songs to get them on the dance floor.
