Send us a note today with additional questions or to book your First Introductory lesson with one of our fantastic professional dance instructors!

“We found Lake Shore Dance Academy about 2 years ago in a total panic. With only six weeks until our wedding and zero dance experience between us, the thought of performing in front of a crowd was terrifying. In just a few short weeks, Anna managed to take us from absolute beginners to confidently nailing a fun Rumba that completely shocked our friends and family! Apparently, the chaos of our wedding dance wasn't enough to deter us, because 2 years later, we are still at it with Anna. Since that first dance, she has continued to push us out of our comfort zones in the best ways possible. We’ve progressed from wedding prep, to performing a fully-costumed Viennese Waltz showcase, to recently completing our third official dance competition! Dance has added so much to our lives. For me as someone who works from home as a software developer, it’s the perfect physical outlet to disconnect from stress. For my wife, it has been an incredible boost to confidence and self-expression. Most importantly, it’s given us a shared goal and a fun way to connect and problem-solve as a couple. Anna has a fun and light hearted personality yet manages to strike an effective balance of making lessons challenging, yet effective and rewarding. Whether you just want to survive your wedding dance or you want to eventually hit the competition floor, we can't recommend Lake Shore Dance Academy enough. We look forward to continuing our dance journey for years to come!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Unity in Glass for our unity ceremony! Since we were planning a destination wedding, we wanted something beautiful, symbolic, and easy to travel with—and this was exactly that. Instead of dealing with sand or candles that can be messy or hard to transport, Unity in Glass offered a meaningful and elegant alternative that truly captured the spirit of our day. Our guests were captivated by the idea, and we loved the thought of turning this moment into a lasting piece of art for our home. The process was seamless from start to finish. Everything arrived on time, well-packaged, and the instructions were incredibly easy to follow. Knowing we’d get a custom-blown glass sculpture made from the very crystals we poured during the ceremony made it feel so special and unique to us. If you're planning a destination wedding—or just want a fresh take on the unity ceremony—this is hands-down one of the best choices you can make. Highly recommend!”

FêteFone helps you capture the magic of your celebration—the joy, the tears, the laughter—in a way you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

The setup was truly plug-and-play. We now keep our vintage mint-green FêteFone displayed on a shelf at home, and every so often we pick up the receiver just to relive that joy.

For almost a century, Maison Gabrielle has embodied the subtle art of taste. Shaped over time between the great kitchens of Provence and Paris, our family house collaborates with chefs and restaurateurs across the world, offering the finest expressions of spices, herbs, aromatics, artisanal tea, infusions and gourmet delights — all deeply rooted in the grand tradition of French culinary savoir-faire. In 2024, Maison Gabrielle chose to open this heritage to a wider audience, sharing its expertise through an exceptional collection designed to elevate home cooking with the same precision and elegance found in the most refined restaurants.

“From our very first conversation, we knew Maison Gabrielle was the perfect fit for us. We got married in France and wanted our wedding favors and welcome gifts to truly reflect who we are as a couple and create an immersive French experience for our guests. Finding an English-speaking vendor in France who understood that vision seemed impossible until we found Maison Gabrielle. The team was incredibly professional, collaborative, and easy to work with. They listened to every idea, brought thoughtful creative solutions, and created the most beautiful welcome gifts for our guests' hotel rooms and bespoke wedding favors. Our guests couldn't stop talking about them and kept asking where we found them. What truly made Maison Gabrielle exceptional was everything they did beyond the products. As an incredibly kind gesture, they even helped coordinate with our French wedding planner and several local vendors. Having an English-speaking team by our side throughout the planning process made such a difference and took so much stress off our shoulders. Who would have imagined that a century-old luxury French tea and spice house would become such an important part of our wedding journey? Their hospitality, generosity, and genuine care go far beyond their business—they truly make you feel like family. They became such a meaningful part of our experience that we invited them to our wedding, and they surprised us by attending with a beautiful keepsake gift we'll cherish forever. Simon, Dara, and Celine are truly the crème de la crème. Their attention to detail, warmth, and kindness exceeded every expectation. The quality of their teas, spices, and custom creations is exceptional, which is why they're now our go-to for stocking our kitchen. We're so happy they ship internationally. If you're planning a wedding in France—or anywhere in the world—we cannot recommend Maison Gabrielle highly enough. There's a reason some of the world's finest luxury hotels work with them, but what impressed us most was the extraordinary people behind the brand. That level of hospitality is incredibly rare. Our guests were blown away by the originality and quality of the favors, and several of our friends and family have already booked Maison Gabrielle for their own weddings and special events. We would choose them again without hesitation. Love, The Brickels”

Guests got updates, reminders, even their shuttle info, straight to their phones — no one was lost or confused. What’s more, Hrishi and Kevin were incredibly down to earth. They responded fast, made updates mid-event, and were just good people to work with. Tech founders who actually care about weddings? Wild. But it’s working.”
