Sophisticated Celebrations

HINES /GANNON

Written by Annie Mosbaugh Knapp

Kristen Hines and Patrick Gannon married on July 23, 2022, with a reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom attended by 230 guests. The event was a genuine celebration of their love and friendship.

The two met when they worked at Yelp in Chicago, where Patrick was Kristen’s boss, but it was love at first sight for both of them; subsequently, they shared a 700-square-foot apartment at Marina Towers for two years, a true test of their love. Kristen had always dreamed of a fairy tale wedding, and the ceremony at the Indiana State House and reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom delivered on every level.

Though the wedding was magical, the couple included lots of fun touches.The Sly Band kept guests dancing for three straight hours, and the maid of honor broke tradition by making her speech a drinking game– each time she said the groom’s name, guests had to say “cheers” and drink! The couple left the reception to a magnificent sparkler exit, with wonderful memories of their perfect night.
