A Modern-Industrial Celebration in Valparaiso, Indiana: The Real Wedding of Jessica & TJ Reese

Jessica and TJ chose their wedding venue, Journeyman Distillery, while it was still under construction—drawn in by its industrial-modern charm and their love for whiskey. Jessica gushes, "We knew it was going to be everything we were looking for and we could see the vision of our dream wedding through our goggles and hard hats." The rest of their vendors were selected based on style and a few trusted recommendations. However, this wedding was more than just a celebration—it was a vow renewal marking 15 years of love, growth and commitment. Having first married at the courthouse in 2009 with little to their names, this day was their long-awaited dream come true! We love how Jessica and TJ invited their guests to wear black, adding a modern and timeless touch to their day!

 

Advice From the Couple

“Plan your wedding together. We did everything together and enjoyed every single minute of it. From the food tasting to the flower picking. Do exactly what you want—not what is trending, or what is tradition—what you want,” Jessica and TJ advise.
