Our Wedding

Bella and Josh started conversing in 2021 over Instagram messenger. They had mutal friends because Bella grew up in Utica and Josh attended Utica College. Their first date was to Meier's Creek in Cazenovia and after that, Bella knew he was her person. A few months later they made their relationship "official" and became a couple on September 26th, 2021. In 2023 they purchased their first home together in Utica, where they lived with their fur baby, Rudy. The following summer of 2024, they adopted their second fur baby, Rose. Bella and Josh love nothing more than to relax at home and spend time with the "kids." Josh surprised Bella with a proposal on May 31st, 2025, followed by a celebration at his parents house. It was a day they will NEVER forget. They are so excited to celebrate this next step in their journey with all of you!! Cheers to their new favorite date, 10/10/26.

Wedding Party

There are 3 restaurant bars within walking distance from the hotel blocks. If you are looking for something to do between the ceremony and the cocktail hour, but you want to catch the shuttles at 4:45, I would suggest stopping to one of these places. These 3 bars are listed under the "Things to Do" tab, located on North Genesee St.
