Jorjetta and Ryan came together as husband and wife at a gorgeous venue, the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Spa. The couple meticulously planned their ceremony and reception to their liking. The ceremony took place outdoors, their reception space was beautifully decorated, and a top live wedding band performed for most of their day. There were plenty of outdoor spots for their photographer, Fineline Weddings, to capture the bride and groom in their element. We bet they will cherish those photos and memories for years to come, as well as the amazing performance by the John Parker Band!

The bride wore a mermaid style wedding dress. Her gown was ivory and the bodice was intricately woven in silver thread. She looked radiant in the soft light here, taken at the Chateau Lafayette, a hotel on the grounds of the venue. The bridal party was able to get ready for the day there before heading off to the ceremony.

What a pretty group of ladies! Their dresses were perfect for an evening of dancing; soft and light! The girls all carried bouquets similar to the bride’s.

We love the color scheme of the wedding- blue, gray, white, and pink. The groom wore a dark blue tux, with his groomsmen below in gray. So handsome and sophisticated, this group must have been ready for the night ahead with drinks, dinner, and dancing!

The ceremony was picturesque, outside on the grounds of the resort. For the ceremony a strings trio was provided by John Parker. The bride and groom exchanged their vows under a grand altar wrapped in satin and decorated with roses.

The ballroom was decorated with tall centerpieces by Neubauer’s Florist. Tables were covered in lace, gold silverware adorned the pearled chargers, and menus were tucked in gray napkins. The cake was the perfect addition to the decor, a decadent creation of white and pink.

John Parker Band announced the bridal party into the reception when it was time to enter the ballroom. The night was off to a great start as the bride and groom shared their first dance to “All of Me”. The dance floor was in the center of the room and everyone gathered around to watch the happy couple. Then, the groom shared a song he had picked out for his bride, “Gorchivo Vino”.

Throughout the night the bride and groom’s Greek and Bulgarian culture was celebrated with music and traditional customs. Guests had a blast as John Parker Band was able to play lots of Greek music & guests’s requests. The band also lead the tradition of breaking the bread. It’s a fun one- the mother’s of the groom and bride hold and feed the couple a portion of bread. Then the best man has to break the bread over their heads to see who will be the spender and bread winner!

Later in the evening guests had a blast during the money dance, another Greek tradition. The bride and groom were blessed with plenty of good fortune as their family and friends threw bills in the air! The band changed it up a bit to play top hits from today and some of the bride and groom’s favorite oldies, such as “Build Me Up Buttercup” and “September”. There certainly was something for everyone to enjoy and put on their dancing shoes. The party continued on late into the night with a fireworks display – even more dancing with the band – and THEN an after party, where John Parker Band acted as DJ.  What a night to remember!

When a couple has impeccable taste, their wedding will no doubt be a glamorous affair. Laura and Louis had an amazing eye for detail and ear for music at their wedding at the Hotel Monaco. Their reception featured gold sequin tables, tall floral centerpieces, and a tasty dessert table.  Top wedding band, John Parker Band, was there to get the party started, and got all their guests fired up on the dance floor.

Hotel Monaco Wedding Bride and Father Ceremony

The ceremony took place at the stunning Saint Bernards, a huge cathedral church. Vows were exchanged in front of a large golden altar with an organ and pillar candles. The wooden pews were decorated with flowers and white sashes.

We just adore this couple! So happy and in love, their joy was captured in this gorgeous photo, taken by  Joey Kennedy. Louis looked sharp in his classy black tuxedo and Laura’s white satin dress, long veil, and diamond jewelry made her the perfect bride. Her bridal court wore black dresses and we love that they are not all wearing the same dress!

The bride’s bouquet featured roses, dahlias, and orchids. Leaves were spray painted gold, tying in the color scheme of their reception effortlessly. The same flowers were used to make up the floral centerpieces in the ballroom, done by Mt Lebanon Florist. Each vase was gold and had crystal beads hanging down, just the right touch of sparkle.

At each place setting, guests found a personalized menu with the monogram of the bride and groom. The sequin table cloths glittered and shined and the silverware gleamed. The John Parker Band welcomed guests into the ballroom and announced the bridal court and bride and groom.

Before guests made their way to their tables, the band asked everyone to surround the bride and groom on the dance floor. The band played “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” for their very first dance as husband and wife.

Hotel Monaco Wedding Bride and Groom Toasts

Then it was time for their first course, followed by toasts from the maid of honor and best man. As dinner came to an end, John Parker Band began to play My Cherie Amour as the bride and groom cut the cake.

What an amazing cake! It was five tiers tall, with the middle tier featuring a rose swirl and diamond borders. The cake was truly a work of art! Bella Christies, their baker, is incredibly talented. We also love the rose table cloth and golden cake stand. So glam!

After cake was served, it was time to get the party started! The band played the upbeat Tom Jones classic “It’s Not Unusual” for the mother and the groom to dance a choreographed routine that brought down the house.

Annie and Tyler were married on a beautiful, sunshine filled day. Their wedding was definitely one to be remembered, by all their friends and family. Elegant and romantic, clean and sophisticated, every detail was thought of and taken into account. From the ceremony to the reception venue, to an awesome live band with whom they danced the night away, their day was so grand and royal, with hundreds of crisp white flowers, bright red berries, and touches of gold.

We love this photo above taken by Sky’s the Limit Photography, of the bride and groom appearing to be so carefree and fun. Annie wore a sleek, timeless white stain dress, with a pretty open back. Tyler donned a black tux, white shirt, and simple black bow tie. So classy!

The next series of photos capture the details of Annie and Tyler’s wedding day perfectly. Annie’s white bouquet consisted of white roses and hydrangeas and the stems were wrapped in sheer organza. In the other photo, red holly berries were sprinkled around Annie’s white satin shoes. And finally, another photo shows their wedding rings resting on a evergreen branch.

How stunning is Annie? She is just gorgeous. With her loose up-do, one curl tenderly caressing her face, she glows. Her diamond teardrop earrings sparkled in the sun and her beautiful shawl kept the chill away, pinned with an antique brooch.

Longue Vue Club Wedding Ceremony: St. Mary's on the Mount Church

Annie and Tyler said “I do” inside a gorgeous cathedral church, St. Mary’s of the Mount. With stained glass windows, high ceilings, and twinkling pine trees, their ceremony was incredibly romantic.

After the ceremony, friends and family made their way to the historic Longue Vue Club for the reception. Classy and chic, the reception venue boosted a mixture of tall and low centerpieces, featuring the same flowers as the bride’s bouquet- white hydrangeas and roses. Their florist, RJ Kohler, did a beautiful job mixing in touches of evergreen and holly berries as well.

Large windows and french doors gave way to tons of natural light. Wreaths hung from the windows and were accentuated by cream colored tapestries above every window. The tables were covered in crisp white linens, white china, and sparkling silverware. Silver candles gleamed, flickering softly, and menu cards were carefully placed at each and every place setting.

Longue Vue Club Wedding Reception: Small Floral Cakes

There was not one, but three cakes at Annie and Tyler’s wedding! A three tier, two tier, and a groom’s cake rested on charming checkered board cake platters. The cakes were done by Jennuine Cakes and each cake was decorated with simple white roses and springs of pine.

Longue Vue Club Wedding Reception: Singer and Band

Annie and Tyler hired one of the country’s best wedding bands for the evening, the John Parker Band.  The couple, who love to dance, requested the band to get the party started early in the night, with a playlist of 60’s, 70’s, and 90’s hits.

One of our favorite rustic weddings took place at Shakespeare’s. From the outside, the venue appears to be an ancient castle, with large wooden doors, stone walls, and green vines. Suzanne and her court looked absolutely stunning; her bridesmaids wore dark dresses and had deep red roses in their bouquets, perfect for a fall wedding. The girls wore sparkly earrings and donned side swept hairdos, so soft and pretty. Suzanne’s mermaid dress was a dreamy confection of white lace, with a sweetheart top, and small train. Her hair fell to her shoulders in loose waves and her simple jewelry was just the right touch.

Suzanne and Chris tied the knot on the Terrace, an outdoor space on site of their venue. The sun shone behind the altar, which was wrapped in crisp white tulle. The first row of chairs were tied with pink ribbons and a trail of rose petals lined the cobblestone aisle.

Chris and his groomsmen looked dashing in their dark jackets and pinstriped gray pants. We love the matching bow ties and white and gray pocket handkerchiefs. What a day of happiness for Chris, in the center of the group, grinning from ear to ear!

Shakespeare's Restaurant Wedding Formal Groom and Groomsmen

Suzanne’s bouquet was a true work of art. Her flowers were done by Posies by Patti and we just loved the mix of full blooms, with roses, peonies, and dahlias. The light colors blended together beautifully, with hints of pink, lavender, and peach. If you take a closer look, the stems are wrapped in a lace fabric and pinned together with several small white pearls.

Suzanne and Chris hired the top wedding band to perform, the John Parker Band. For their first dance, the couple selected the popular song “More Than Words”.

Elise Huss, an attentive member of The Links at Hemlock Creek’s staff, made sure that everything ran perfectly and looked stellar! The Links Bloomsburg Wedding Reception Tent with Purple LightingThe Links Bloomsburg Wedding White Flower Water Centerpieces with Floating Tealight CandleThe Links Bloomsburg Wedding White Wedding Cake with Flowers and Name TopperThe Links Bloomsburg Wedding Reception Hot CocoaThe Links Bloomsburg Wedding Reception Cookie Buffet
