Findlay Wedding at The Crest on Bigelow

July 27, 2024

It was a warm, midsummer day filled with love and joy as Taylor and Zach tied the knot in the charming town of Findlay, Ohio. Their Findlay wedding at The Crest on Bigelow was a celebration as vibrant and spirited as their love story itself.

Taylor and Zach’s journey began with a chance meeting online, a serendipitous encounter that blossomed into a timeless romance. Taylor, a dedicated special education teacher, and Zach, a passionate small business owner, discovered their shared interests and deep connection through their time together. They found joy in the simple pleasures of life — bowling, planning delightful dinner dates, and connecting through their mutual love for music, sports, and travel. Whether it was exploring new destinations or savoring quiet moments in their kitchen, their bond grew stronger with every shared experience.

The proposal was fitting for Taylor. During a peaceful walk on her favorite Metropark trails, Zach asked Taylor to marry him, and her heartfelt “yes” marked the beginning of their wedding planning journey. With the support of their loving families and friends, the planning process was filled with excitement and eager anticipation.

Their wedding day began with a touching and personal ceremony at their home church, where they exchanged vows and committed to a lifetime of love and companionship. The ceremony was a beautiful reflection of their journey together, setting the stage for the celebration that followed.

The reception for their Findlay Wedding at The Crest on Bigelow was a memorable one. Knowing Taylor’s extended family well, it was no surprise that the celebration was destined to be BIG. The gathering wasn’t just big in terms of number of guests — it was brimming with fun and energy. And with no surprise, Zach’s family and their friends matched that enthusiasm, making the entire day a joyous and lively occasion. The contemporary space adjacent to the Hillcrest Golf Club provided the perfect backdrop for their 350 guests. The open floor plan of the huge venue enhanced the festive atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for their Findlay wedding at The Crest on Bigelow.

A distinctive feature of their wedding was the presence of red — the couple’s favorite color. Accents of bright red were everywhere, from the bridesmaids’ dresses to the floral arrangements and the vibrant backdrops at The Crest on Bigelow. The color not only added a pop of excitement but also symbolized the passion and energy that Taylor and Zach bring to their relationship.

As the day came to a close, it was clear that Taylor and Zach’s wedding was more than just an event; it was a beautiful testament to their love, surrounded by those who cherish and celebrate them. The Crest on Bigelow provided the perfect setting for a day filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. Their story, marked by genuine connection and shared joy, is a reminder that sometimes the best things in life begin with a simple chance encounter.
