Real Wedding: Hailey and Ward's Reception

Fun fact of the day: Hailey and Ward's reception was the FIRST to have been held in the atrium of the Branson Convention Center. If you would like to get a sneak peek of how this celebration all came together, check out or time lapse video! We had so much fun creating an even in this space and the colors Hailey and Ward chose fit it perfectly!

What’s the one décor aspect that you most loved and will remember? 

I loved everything about the reception venue. The ambience was perfect; the tall glass walls were so gorgeous! I loved the location, the décor (especially the flowers), and the chairs and linens. It was perfect.

What was your first dance song, and why?

Ward actually chose our song, which made it really special to me. We have never had “a song” so this was an area I was stressing in. Luckily Ward went exploring and found Love Never Fails by Brandon Heath and it was perfect.

How did you portray your personal styles into your wedding day?

Our wedding was simple, traditional and elegant. I am a very simple person and we both wanted a traditional and elegant wedding.

Real Wedding: Hailey and Ward's Ceremony

  Here it is! Dr. and Mrs. McClellan's ceremony! It was sincerely special to be present for this union. Both families were beaming with joy for the couple as they proclaimed their devotion for each other in front of all their loved ones and God. Enjoy day two of the McClellan's Wedding Week!

Why did you choose the ceremony space that you did?

We knew we wanted to get married in a church, that was a priority to us, so we decided to get married at the church where my family attends.

Did you choose to do any memorable events or traditions within your ceremony?

We chose to take communion together as husband and wife for the first time.

What was the most sentimental part of your ceremony?

Definitely our vows. We chose to write our own vows so it made it a 1000x more special. And of course there were tears.
