I first met Lauren and her mother Kim a little over a year ago. One of the things that stood out right away was they both knew what they wanted, and had a great eye for detail.
Lauren and Will met in grade school and have since been inseparable. Their story and wedding is nothing short of amazing and beautiful.
The ceremony took place in the Sunken Ballroom. The entrance stairs to the ceremony were lined with cascading florals. A custom rose cross captured everyone’s vision in the backdrop. Music was provided by Effesenden and a watercolor painter was hired by the bride’s oldest sister to capture the special moment.
The cocktail hour and reception was held in the Kridel Ballroom. The two events were separated by pipe and drape in the ballroom. A long and elegant bar surrounded by bistro tables decorated the cocktail area. The reception, which was set for 200, had multiple centerpieces of all heights, chandeliers, and seating areas that outlined the dance floor The roses that cascaded down the stairs to the ceremony were used to drape the stage, which tied together the florals cascading the 5 tier wedding cake by Dream Cakes. Art of Catering served dinner, butler style, and Shawn of Event Team Entertainment kept the crowd dancing the night away.
The evening concluded with a sparkler sendoff that was nothing short of magical! It was such a honor to work with both of them and be part of such a beautiful day!
