Justyna & Nick: Rustic Summer Wedding at Bricks & Stones
The Rustic Summer Wedding Destination of Their Dreams
It was worth the wait! After postponing their wedding for a year due to COVID-19, Justyna and Nick finally had their rustic summer wedding on June 5, 2021 at Bricks & Stones at Camp Aramoni. The couple worked with our team and local vendors to help them craft their idyllic wedding day.
Meet Justyna and Nick – one of the first couples to book Bricks & Stones for their wedding. Having met in college, the couple has been on an incredible journey ever since, including becoming parents to their two beautiful children who were also part of the unforgettable day. They were delighted to (finally!) gather their family and loved ones together for their wedding.
Their ceremony took place at nearby St. Joseph’s Church in Peru, Illinois followed by a celebration and dinner at Bricks & Stones at Camp Aramoni. The day had a touching ending for everyone there, especially for Justyna’s sister, the maid of honor.
A Very Special Dance, Times Two
Justyna’s sister was married in an intimate ceremony during the pandemic and never had the opportunity to do the traditional father/daughter dance with her dad. After Justyna and her dad finished their dance, Justyna invited her sister to take a turn on the dance floor for her own father/daughter dance. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room!

“We recently had our wedding at Camp Aramoni and when I say it was perfect…. I mean it was PERFECT! The venue was beautiful. No need to go up and beyond with the decor because the place itself is beautiful. I can honestly say I didn’t stress throughout the process because I had two amazing coordinators from day one.
