Andy & Michael
Andy and Michael’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their love story—thoughtful, vibrant, and effortlessly elegant. Based in Berlin’s Friedrichshain/Kreuzberg neighborhood, Andy (originally from New York) and Michael (from Münster) share a passion for design, food, and meaningful moments. Their wedding brought together loved ones from across the globe to celebrate their union in the city where their story began.
A Colorful Summer Celebration
In early August, Berlin provided the ideal summer backdrop for Andy and Michael’s wedding—warm, bright, and joyful. The couple envisioned a celebration that was both festive and welcoming, brought to life with a vibrant palette inspired by retro designs. Shades of coral, peach, ochre yellow, magenta, olive green, and soft blues created a cheerful yet sophisticated atmosphere.
The ceremony and reception unfolded on a secluded meadow along the Spree River, where guests arrived by boat in a scene reminiscent of a classic movie. A corten steel arch and colorful dahlias, Andy’s favorite flower, framed the ceremony, setting the stage for a heartfelt and intimate exchange of vows.
Timeless Design Meets Berlin Charm
The venue, a 1950s mid-century gem, offered the perfect blend of warmth and sophistication. With its high ceilings, wood-paneled walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows, it felt grand yet inviting—a perfect reflection of the couple’s style.
Dinner was held in a stunning hall filled with long tables, candlelight, and laughter, creating a sense of togetherness that Andy and Michael had hoped for. The night ended in a chic penthouse with breathtaking views of Berlin’s skyline, where guests danced under the stars and celebrated until sunrise, just as Michael had dreamed.
Thoughtful Touches
Andy and Michael’s wedding was filled with thoughtful details that reflected their personalities. Their passion for culinary arts came alive through a carefully crafted menu, developed in collaboration with the catering team. The couple personally tested recipes, wine pairings, and coffee blends, ensuring every element delighted their guests.
This attention to detail extended beyond the menu. Patterned ties, custom-designed decor, and carefully chosen color palettes brought their shared love for creativity and design to life. Even the reception bar, painted in a lush shade of green, was thoughtfully integrated into the natural surroundings, creating a harmonious and inviting aesthetic.
