Suzanne & Brandon | October Wedding

Suzanne & Brandon asked for help with Day-Of Coordination and Rehearsal because they already had most of their vendors selected when we first met. They had their ceremony and reception at the Leasburg Retreat Center. This is such a great space for an event! The log cabin building was very spacious and included all the tables and chairs, as well as a huge functioning kitchen! However, the wrap-around porch overlooking a huge pond won me over! They were able to rent the retreat center for the whole weekend so they could decorate a day before the wedding and clean up the day after.

Hay bales, pumpkins, and mums decorated the ceremony site for this October 14th, fall wedding. The weather was perfect! Suzanne and Brandon got married in front of their family and friends in front of the pond.  After the ceremony, DJ Gene Deese of Hollywood Entertainment got the reception started, while The Homestead Steakhouse served the food. "DJ Hollywood" and his wife were so accommodating and were well-experienced. I appreciated his words of wisdom at the end of the night and his praise for me sticking around as a planner (even after the ceremony, which he said is rare!) The Homestead’s staff was very friendly and they were willing to help with more than just catering if help was needed! And, the food was delicious! It was so good, I had to go try the restaurant within the next couple of weeks.The cake was provided by Edible Artistry. Elaine Robbins delivered the cake and set the flowers on it. She was very creative and it turned out beautiful!

Suzanne and Brandon are one of the sweetest couples we have ever worked with! They both put a lot of work into making the décor for their wedding and Brandon assembled all the flowers himself! Being a past florist, he made stunning floating flower centerpieces.  Spotlight Photography captured pictures of the day. It was a pleasure getting to work with Jennifer again! I have attached some photos to this post and more in our gallery! Eye Stream Media filmed the wedding day and you can watch their video here. 

Brandi was my assistant for this wedding. She is always so much fun to have along! She is very autonomous and willing to do what needs to be done to get tasks done, all while keeping a smile on her face! Thanks Brandi! You can read more about our team on our About Page.
