Last Sunday Diana and I had the pleasure of being a part of Jessica and Greg’s beautiful wedding ceremony and reception at The Leola Village Inn, Casa Di Fiori…which we just love soooo much.  I met with Vivi (Mother of the Bride) and Jessica over a year ago when they first came to me for assistance.  Because they are not from the area, Diana of Planned Perfection worked on creating a wedding filled weekend for the bridal party, families and all friends.  Unfortunately, the weather had other plans for everyone   Nonetheless, the wedding was beautiful.

Beautiful Bride’s bo-k by All Things Beautiful.

From the very intimate Jewish Ceremony to the oh so heartfelt speech from the groom…ladies he brought out excerpts from his journal, that the bride had never heard before, and read from the days that he first met Jessica and just knew she was the one (even though she had a boyfriend of 7 months at the time), to the their first kiss and all of their great moments together.  It definitely was a tear jerker, especially when the groom him self was getting chocked up and the bride was sobbing.  Oh I’m a sucker for it all!!

I have never seen a couple so at ease with each other and so in love.  They just knew each other inside and out and complimented each other so well.  (side note:  they dated for 17 years before this day!)

The reception had great food, dancing and of course the fun filled Hora!

New Ceremony Set-Up at Casa, we loved it!!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of coordinating Kerri and Tim’s wedding and reception. They chose to get married at the church her grandmother did, as well as her mother and one of her Aunts. What a beautiful little church it was. The reception was set to take place at the brand new Marriott Hotel which Marah and Kelly were their setting up while I was at the ceremony.

It was a beautiful day and Kerri and Tim were so happy! Congratulations to you both and thank you allowing Planned Perfection to be a part of your special day.

Also, thank you to all the wonderful vendors on board to make this event a success!

Next up, this weekend a wedding at Casa Di Fiori and the next weekend we’ll be at the Lancaster Marriott again!

Don’t forget to come see us next month at Best of Weddings at the Lancaster Marriott and Convention Center.  You surely will not want to miss this event!

Today I had the wonderful honor of coordinating Katie and Eric’s wedding and reception held at the beautiful Historic Rockford Plantation in Lancaster, PA.

Rehearsal went great, except for the fact that the park rangers showed up and told us all roads will be closed surrounding the park on wedding day because of Horse Races. The organizer of that event never got in touch with Rockford to find out if there was an event…um hello! So luckily I just made a few phone calls to vendors letting them know of the one opening that they could get in. The races ended just in time, and the guests never even knew about roads being closed.

Kelly and I arrived at 12:30 to set up 165 ceremony chairs, place mums all around the ceremony site and set up the reception decor.

Today’s weather could not have been any more beautiful than it was. Katie and Eric were all smiles and I was so honored to be a part of their special day.
