Our 2015 Wedding Season Has Begun!!! | Laura & Justin

Congratulations to Laura & Justin who were the first couple to get married at Keswick Vineyards for 2015! They really hit the jackpot with the weather that day. The skies were clear & blue with the sun shining and a slight breeze. Wish I could clone that weather for every wedding here. Unlike the beautiful weather they had, both Laura & Justin had the flu prior to their wedding day. For the past 4 days they really hadn't eaten and were kept away from everyone else. Everyone was feeling much better at the rehearsal but not so much the next morning. Laura's Mother woke up to the flu! Can you believe that? What horrible timing. I don't think anyone plans on that happening and how do you trouble shoot that? Her Mother rested that morning while everyone else handled the details for her. When she did arrive she looked amazing! She ended up going to the doctor that morning and got a shot to stop the nausea feeling, some other meds, and she was good to go! Thank God! Speaking of God, these two families have a very strong faith in God and it was present throughout the day. Justin's brother played the guitar during the ceremony while beautiful hymns were sung. I especially love how the men came together just before the ceremony to say a prayer for Laura & Justin. It's nice to witness a wedding that emphasis the importance of God in their ceremony. My favorite part of this wedding: I LOVE the bridesmaids bouquets! They were just baby breath and looked so elegant. What a wonderful idea.

Caitlin & Jack Close Out Our 2014 Wedding Season | Caitlin & Jack

Congratulations to Caitlin & Jack who, after 3 ½ years, were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, November 8th.

Mother Nature provided them with the peak of fall colors to enhance the beauty of this venue. Caitlin & Jack decided to hold their ceremony in front of Edgewood Estate, allowing the fountain, vineyard, and mountains to be their backdrop for guests to adore.

Inside the heated Sperry tent, guest cozied up for the evening and enjoyed some amazing food prepared by Richmond’s #1 caterer, Groovin Gourmets. Caitlin & Jack are foodies and it definitely showed by the menu they chose for their guests, including roasted lamb, Rockfish, braised pork chops & pumpkin sage ravioli. And if that didn’t fill you, a dessert bar followed with delicious sweet treats.

What I will remember most from this wedding is Jack’s never ending smile. I love the comment his Mother made of how all she could see when she looked at him was white from his white teeth shining so. Nothing could make us happier here at Keswick Vineyards than to see the happiness from our couples and I definitely could see that clearly from Caitlin & Jack.

Thank you and thanks to the following vendors who did a terrific job: Caterer: Groovin’ Gourmets, Photographer Alicia White, Flowers by Natalie, Pastry Chef Taylor’s Sweets, Officiant Joy Andreason of Whispers of Joy, DJ Ran Henry, Hair & Make-up by Sass Factory, Event Planner Taylor Verrel, Albemarle Limousine for buses, MS Events for rentals & Skyline Tent Company.

Katie & Roger's Brisk Wedding Day | Katie & Roger

Congratulations to Katie & Roger who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, November 1st.

Katie’s brother was the officiant and it was such a personal and touching ceremony; one of my favorites to date. You could just feel the heartfelt message being said by her brother. What a treat to be married by your brother.

Mother Nature provided a very windy and cold day for us but no rain! The dramatic sky created some very dramatic photos that their photographer took and I can’t wait to share. My favorite thing from this wedding, besides her brother doing the ceremony, was the “logo” they created with their first name initials and how they had it displayed throughout the reception. I really love the cork shadow box they did and the awesome photo of the two of them (see in my photos below).

I definitely knew before this reception started that we were in for a fun, dancing night and I was right! I must say I have been really impressed with the dancing ability of my recent grooms. Speaking of dancing, one more favorite part for me was when Katie and her Mother did a dance together to Footloose. What a special moment that was to see the two of them having so much fun on the dance floor together. I will remember that forever and I’m sure their guests will also.

Special thanks to the following vendors: Caterer Groovin’ Gourmets from Richmond, DJ Mark Allen, Seth Roberts Photography, Colonial Florist, Hair & Make-up by Ruby Devine, Officiant Brent Cochran, Ambassador Limousine for transportation, Videographer Stephanie Sciarrino, Event Planner Maureen Monterubio, Skyline Tent Company and rentals by MS Events.

A Beautiful Fall Wedding for Lauren & David! | Lauren & David

Lauren & David really hit the jackpot when it comes to weather. They had one of the most perfect fall days to be married outside to. On Saturday, October 25th, Lauren & David were married at Keswick Vineyards. The sun was out shining to keep everyone nice and warm while enjoying the spectacular fall colors in the vineyard and mountain side.

I love how they had their Yorkie dog in the ceremony. He was just adorable in his tuxedo! The wedding ceremony was extra special. Their officiant was very close friend of theirs that Lauren had asked to marry them even before she was ordained as a minister. Love the personal touch that adds to the ceremony.

After spending time out in the vineyard for photos, Lauren & David returned to the Sperry tent for their reception and enjoyed some amazing food by BBQ Exchange. The short ribs were out of this world! DJ John Garland kept the party going while guests danced the night away.

Thanks to the following vendors for doing such an amazing job: Caterer Exchange Events, DJ John Garland, Photographer Jen Fariello, Videographer Paul Hairston, Flowers by Hedge Florist, Pastry Chef Ashley from Charlottesville Cupcakes, Event Planner Angela Parker, Hair & Make-up by Amanda of Lou Stevens Glam Squad, Officiant Leslie Scanlon, Transportation by Albemarle Limousine, Rentals by MS Events & Skyline Tent Company.
