From the gals here at HITCHED to all of you! We hope the holidays are filled with love, tasty food and drink and at least one killer dance party. We leave you with visions of the ACE poolside to dance in your head (courtesy of Bonnie Tsang).
Synchronized swimming performance is making a come back, and the Aqualillies are heading up the big splash! These beautiful ladies will come to your party, put on one classy pool show and do it all with an air of grace and sass straight out of another decade. They said...Why do you do what you do?
The Aqualillies bring a charming synchronized swimming show to any poolside setting. We love to watch the atmosphere shift at private parties and events as soon as our legs lift gracefully out of the water.
What should brides/grooms/curious seekers know about you?
Our shows are 10 minutes long and provide an incredibly unique entertainment experience that guests will never forget. If there's a pool where you're getting married, an Aqualillies show will give your special day a leg up on other weddings.

We know how to use your style to show the world what you're made of. It's not about forcing yourself into trends or expectations, but what makes you feel most comfortable and inspired. As a bride, it's important to look and feel like yourself at your very best. We make sure all your wedding outfits are stellar and that you're ready to rock 'em - from the engagement photos to the honeymoon.
What makes a wedding super rad to you?
Your wedding is a chance to celebrate who you are as a couple, and show off your own personal style in every detail. I love when couples do away with traditions and play by their own rules. Pre-ceremony cocktail hour. Corn on the cob. Home brew. Black accents. Sneakers. Coniferous greens. The more fun it is for your guests, the more epic your wedding will be!
Name one thing about a wedding that you would like to see changed.
I'm glad to see that bridesmaid fashion is changing. I think it's great when each of your best girls gets to have her own look, while still honoring the style of your wedding. I LOVE to see a variety of dresses in different styles and different shades of a cohesive color palate, with non-matching accessories.
You will meet some rad people at HITCHED. What makes a good first impression to you?
Good old fashioned friendliness. Eye contact and a firm handshake are musts... and anyone who jumps into the Ace pool fully clothed is awesome in my book.
