Danielle and Joseph got married at Sterling Ballroom on October 25, 2025.

Their Story

Their love story began when they were both teenagers.

“Our relationship started as long distance as I was in school in our hometown and he was away at college,” says Danielle. “We dated through long distance, a world pandemic, new schools, new jobs and careers but still we never lost love for eachother. We fell deeper in love each year.”

The Proposal

Joseph proposed on July 6, 2024, which marked one month since a recent medical operation for Danielle and he took her out for dinner.

“I didn’t realize his nervous jitters throughout dinner was because of a small box in his pocket,” she says. “Out near the gazebo at this beautiful restaurant he got on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes, of course!”

A few moments later, their whole family and group of friends arrived and surprised Daniella for photos and a party right after to celebrate!

Choosing the Venue

“Sterling Ballroom was beautiful, easy to work with and conveniently located to where we live for family traveling,” says Danielle. “The ballroom matched the elegant theme we were working with and the outdoor area was perfect for our fall ceremony.”

Details of the Day

“Our theme was black and white with swan details throughout the decor,” she says.

Their dance floor was wrapped in black and white. The menus were black and white. The floral centerpieces and backdrop for sweetheart table were all white.

For favors they hired a live painter who drew guest portraits for everyone who attended.

Detail They Couldn’t Live Without

Their three tiered white vintage gluten free vegan cake was a special detail.

“With all my food allergies the one thing I wanted was to be able to share the cake with my husband, and I did!”

Favorite Moment

Danielle’s favorite moment was her first dance with her husband.

“The room looked so beautiful as we danced on the clouds,” she says.

Wedding Day Attire

Danielle wore a white two piece gown from Seng Couture with a cathedral veil.

Joseph wore a black Vera Wang tuxedo from Men’s Wearhouse.

The bridesmaids all wore different black dresses from various shops and the groomsmen wore black tuxedos from Men’s Wearhouse.
