The perfect Beach wedding, I must say! When I did the location inspection my mouth dropped at how beautiful  this location was – I had been here years before, but not for a wedding.  I now experienced first-hand the vision of  the mother of the bride.  Pulling off a wedding like this one was going to take all of the coordinator’s skill & experience.  I worked very closely with Lisa to make sure everything was flowing nicely.  200 guests seated in 4 different areas was the main challenge, so speakers were needed  throughout the property.  Guests enjoyed lavish  hors d’oeuvres & wine in the front atria & house  while the younger generation played table tennis and took in the breathtaking views.  Introductions ensued with a rousing chorus of “In the Navy” by the village people, which seemed to get everyone fired up for the dancing that was to come.  Guests were treated to a sumptuous dinner inside & out before the maid of honor & best man’s toasts.  The cake cutting followed with guests being invited inside for the formal dancing and merriment. These folks danced to everything I played from the moment the dance floor was open ’til it was time for the grand send off.  A fairytale wedding in every way! The newlyweds had a festive sparkler send off just before the heavens opened up and the rain began to pour.  I will never forget this one….. so much fun!!!

A beautiful day and beautiful people: From the early planning stages I knew this was going to be a fabulous wedding.  Stephanie’s mother, Apryl was a huge help in pulling all of the resources together and very cleverly put together a great compliment of local wedding professionals to represent her family’s special day.  The barrel room at Callaway was simply breathtaking; decadent and lavish burgundy linens and centerpieces really made a stunning impression as you entered the room.  We complimented the decor with pin-spot lighting to highlight the flower arrangements, sweetheart table & cake.  The cute couple enjoyed a delicious meal and an entertaining slideshow before their first dance.  A lively set of dance favorites filled the dance floor with all ages.  The guests enjoyed country, rock & hip -hop,  yet were very responsive to slower songs as well.  All in all a very successful celebration – great venue, awesome vendors and of course – delighted guests.   Happy New year!!
