Carl House Weddings: Naomi Yasuho & Brandon Fogerty


While our blog may only be a few weeks old, Carl House has years of experience in hosting great weddings under its belt. From classic and traditional to themed and modern, we have been fortunate enough to be a part of some fabulous and memorable nuptials. This past weekend stood as no exception as Naomi Yasuho and Brandon Fogerty brought personality and style to their big day.


From their first dance to the bouquet throw, no part of the ceremony was without the couple’s personal touch. While most weddings use Carl House’s spacious ballroom as a place to mingle, eat and be merry, Naomi and Brandon turned the antique wooden floors into an illustrious stage. Performing the infamous dance from Dirty Dancing, the two twirled around the room to “I Had the Time of My Life,” leaving many with the looming question: “Patrick Swayze who?” Even the groomsmen joined in on the fun becoming the backup dancers for the happy couple. Later in the night, the two showed off their skills again as they danced to a mix of songs that included the word “crazy.” This was definitely a first for Carl House!


But the action didn’t stop there. Not only did Naomi perform two dances, she also managed to change the flowers in her hair and bouquet several times throughout the evening. Thank goodness Carl House has a lovely Bridal Suite that gave the bride some rest as she went through her various transformations. The beautiful flowers were not that the only thing to behold at this unique wedding. Originally from Japan, the bride’s mom wore a customary Japanese kimono that added elegance and tradition to the unforgettable event.


Weddings like these are what make working at Carl House so interesting. We love to see how each couple adds their own elements and surprises to the ceremony and more importantly, the creative ways they utilize all the services Carl House has to offer.



Notes From the Gallery:


“I couldn’t keep from smiling the entire night. From the dances to the cute wedding favors, it was impossible not to enjoy the evening. As a wedding director, I’ve seen my share of ceremonies, but this was definitely the most unique and charismatic.”

- Senior Wedding Director, Denise Myers
