At the end of May we celebrated Sarah and Troy’s wedding!  The beautiful ceremony was held in Lebanon with a reception to follow at Bent Creek Country Club.  What a stunning couple they were.  I enjoyed working with Sarah and her mom up until the big day!  They were so easy going and had so many great ideas!

We enjoyed working with Todd Spitler for the first time!  What a great guy and his images were amazing.  Take a peak below.  We were also happy to work with Bent Creek, Occasions DJs, All Things Beautiful, Lavon Films,  Special Occasions linens and Designs by Renee.

The day went off without a hitch.  It down poured before the start of the ceremony but you know what they say about that!  And other then getting a phone call the night before alerting me that one of the limos was without air and they were working on it, all went as planned.  The limo was fixed and ready for the big day.

Sarah and Troy chose not to see each other before the big moment.  Here are some pictures beforehand.

This post is long over due and I have no idea where to even begin!  I first met Anne and her mother at Prince Street Cafe downtown Lancaster what seemed like forever ago.  It was at that point Anne had chosen her venue, the Lancaster Marriott and had come to me to help bring everything together!

We got to work right away selecting everything from her baker, florist, stationer, linens, event designer and more!  Anne and Jason lived in New York, so we made every trip home count!  I enjoyed my emails and calls with Anne, she was always so sweet!  We also loved meeting at some of my favorite places, i.e., Rachels and Fractured Prune!

As the planning progressed we put together a mock reception set up so Anne could better visualize how her reception and ceremony flowers, lighting, linens would look.  It was so nice to work with Stacia from  Petals with Style who brought many different concepts to the table, literally, and we were able to play with how and where those arrangements would go.

The wedding rehearsal was upon us, and Anne and Jason were relaxed as ever.  After practice everyone headed over to a wonderful rehearsal dinner at John J. Jeffries which was so nice for the parties to catch up and prepare for the big day.  The best man and also brother of the groom prepared a phenomenal video, interviewing candidates to replace Jason, as his brother.  It was hysterical and well done.

 

 

 

 

On the wedding day, we arrived early to start set up and oversee all the wedding day logistics.  We stopped in first to deliver lunch to the girls and check in with Anne.  She was so beautiful and just beaming with happiness.

Anne was such a stunning bride, inside and out!

 

 

Taking Anne to see Jason was my most favorite moment of the day.  Once the ceremony site was all set up and ready to go, we were about to go get Jason from his hotel room and get him in place when to my surprise Jason walks in the room and says, “I’m ready!”  He just stood there at the alter, waiting patiently for his bride!  He was on time, and so excited to see Anne.  I was giddy with excitement to bring her to see him!  What an amazing moment!

Reception is ready to go!

During the reception we loved how Anne honored her mother by paying tribute to her 5 year wedding anniversary with her husband.  We had the wonderful band, The Janis Nowlan band announce the anniversary play a special song for them to dance to, then the Marriott staff brought out a surprise cake specially made by Rosie’s Creative Cakes.  It was a sweet moment!

 

Love, Jessica did all the beautiful stationary from the table numbers, escort cards, invitations menus and programs!

Yummy sweets table!

Thank you to Anne and Jason and families for allowing us to be a part of your most wonderful day!  You were both beaming with love and joy for each other and it was evident for all who attended.
