Amy & Brent say I DO!!!!! | Amy & Brent

Congratulations to Amy & Brent who were married amongst the vineyard vines for their wedding at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, May 9th. Nothing can be more beautiful than to have picture perfect weather for an all outdoor wedding. Amy & Brent had such luck! Taking full advantage of all the outdoor, landscaped areas surrounding Edgewood Estate, Amy & Brent rented furniture to create mini "living rooms" for guests to hang out and relax. To make sure the guests could continue to enjoy these social gathering areas in the evening, bistro lights were hung in the lawn area to create this beautiful "living" outdoor space equipped with a cigar bar and Carpe Donuts! Boy did their guests have a great time! Between the outdoor living spaces to the lively, non-stop dancing under the tent, what more could one ask for? Perhaps some delicious food? Yep, they also had that. C&O Catering did an outstanding job not only with delicious, gourmet food but with superior service. Topping off the night was a beautiful sunset that the couple took full advantage of by leaving their reception for a little while for some photos during that magical hour. Highly recommend that if your timeline will allow for it. How do you finish off a perfect wedding? By doing a sparkler departure into a vintage car with driver waiting for you. Amy & Brent really knew how to throw a great party and thank you for choosing Keswick Vineyards to be a part of it.

Stephanie & Dan's Amazing Wedding Day! | Stephanie & Dan

Well, Stephanie & Dan definitely hit the lottery when it comes to gorgeous weather. On Saturday, May 2nd, Stephanie and Dan were married amongst the blooming vineyard at Keswick Vineyards. The skies were so blue with puffy white clouds scattered throughout providing just a little breeze to keep everyone comfortable in the sun. It has been a pleasure to work with Stephanie and Dan over the past year. They and their families were such a delight to be around and we all had such a great time at their wedding. Their ceremony was definitely one to remember. You definitely could tell that the Reverend had known Dan and his family for some time and he put that personal spin to it which makes it so much more touching and meaningful. Stephanie chose eggplant purple for her bridesmaids and Dan went with charcoal grey suits for him and the groomsmen. What a beautiful color combination accented with green & white bouquets. Dan had all his groomsmen wear matching patriotic socks which were a big hit.

Thanks to all our wonderful vendors who week after week do such an amazing job for our weddings: Caterer Harvest Moon, DJ T.D. Layman of Sound Enforcement, Photographer Tyler Corvin, Hedge Fine Blooms as Florist, Albemarle Limousine for transportation, Photo Booth of Charlottesville, Cake by Cake I Do!, Officiant Reverend Michael Catlett and Keswick Vineyards as Day Of Event Planner.

A Rainy Wedding | Catherine & Will

On Saturday, April 25th, Catherine & Will said their “I Do's” to each other in front of family and friends at Keswick Vineyards. Unfortunately, the weather was less then perfect for their wedding day. Virginia was experiencing a cold front and rain that day:( So, what do you do when you have planned for an outdoor wedding and the weather doesn't cooperate with your plans? You make sure you have a good back up plan and at Keswick Vineyards, we do so the wedding went off and they were married and everything worked out at the end. If you are going to choose to get married outdoors, you need to make sure you have that personality that can just go with the flow if Mother Nature decides not to grant you perfect weather. As you will see from my photos, everything still turned out picture perfect. Instead of the ceremony being outdoors near the vineyard, it was brought inside under the Sperry tent. The dance floor is used to seat about 30 guests while everyone else takes a seat at a table set up for the reception. A formal aisle is present on the dance floor and the alter is set up as originally planned. On this day, the clear sides of the tent were kept on to keep the heat inside the tent since it was so cold outside. After the ceremony guests enjoyed cocktail hour under the tent while Catherine, Will and the rest of the wedding party went outside for photos in covered areas. While they were out for photos, the tent was arranged back to the "reception" lay-out and the rest of the evening went as planned.

Special thanks to all the vendors that had to work a little extra for this wedding but I'm sure Catherine & Will appreciate it as much as I do: Caterer C&O, DJ John Garland, Photography by Tyler & Ashley of The Herrintons, Videography by Sarah & Justin of Lovell Productions, Blue Ridge Floral Design for flowers, Photo Booth of Charlottesville, Albemarle Limousine for transportation, Wedding Cake by Favorite Cakes, Officiant Reverend James Cobb and Musicians for ceremony/cocktail hour provided by Piedmont Chamber Players.

Marianne & Tiko's Wedding Day | Marianna & Tiko

I personally can't think of a better day to get married! Marianne & Tiko were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, April 18th, which is also my wedding anniversary, hence the best day to get married comment. I love that Marianne's song she walked down the aisle to was "our" wedding song also. Definitely brought back some memories. The weather was just perfect for their all outdoor wedding. The men wore black tuxedo's while the bridesmaids gowns were a soft blush color. Gold was an accent color used throughout the tent mixed with the soft blush color. Marianne looked amazing in her wedding dress! Instead of the traditional guest book, Marianne & Tiko had a board with the state of Virginia on it along with their wedding date for guests to sign and leave a note. What a special keepsake they will have to display in their new home.

Special thanks to the following vendors for doing a wonderful job: White Birch Events with Cinda Hoege as wedding planner, Catering by The Local, Rentals by MS Events, Officiant Tom Leland, Wedding Cake by Sweet Fix, DJ TD Layman of Sound Enforcement, Photographer Tyler Corvin, Make-up & Hair by Rachel Schrader, Black Creek Florist, Photo Booth of Charlottesville and Ambassador Limousine.
