Katie and Patrick's Wedding Day! | Katie & Patrick

Is there a doctor in the house? PLENTY! This wedding had ever kind of medical professional you could image in attendance and they held true to the good old work hard play hard mentality! This group was a ball full of energy and it radiated through their entire crowd. Guests were greeted with a spiked lemonade stand courtesy of Harvest Moon Catering, followed by a beautiful vineyard ceremony. A raw oyster bar was the headliner for this couples cocktail hour with a magnificent ice sculpture display. Such a fun interactive treat! Cheers, hoots, and constant laughter with dancing were how they continued all the way through the night. The group was all about having the best time together with family and friends and it showed. The dance floor stayed full with the help of DJ Andy Wilfong and adults and kids alike kept the spirits alive! To end the evening guests were treated with a late night snack of sliders and old bay tater tots before sending the newlyweds and their guest off with our favorite sparkler send off. Congratulations to Katie and Patrick! Cheers!

Courtney and Matt Tie the Knot! | Courtney & Matt

To kick start our Labor Day weekend of weddings we celebrated Courtney and Matt’s marriage. These two have been together for years and it showed with their love. As a part of their ceremony they tied together ropes which symbolized the strength of their love and relationship. Lining down the ceremony aisle the father handmade wooden signs with one of our personal favorite bible verses from Corinthians. After the ceremony was concluded the party went off with a bang! Immediately the couple and their guests alike were ready and eager to celebrate Courtney and Matt’s love with the help of DJ Greg Tutwiler. Dressed in navy and coral the Sperry tent shined last night with bistro lights to sparkle the night away. The families couldn’t have been more excited as they joined together as one and it certainly showed!

Cara & Jacob’s Wedding Day | Cara & Jacob

Congratulations to Cara and Jacob who were married amongst the vines at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, August 29th. The couple met during their college years at Radford University here in Virginia but had always been in love with the vineyard life. As they say…once in love with the mountains, always in love with the mountains! The flowers by Sandy from Verde Natural Floral were picture perfect, as always. Their color scheme of navy, blush, and gold made for an elegant affair which always compliments Keswick Vineyards so perfectly. Their harpist playing in the background was a nice touch to this as well! The couple chose to make homemade infused rosemary olive oil as favors for their guests. This is a first we’ve seen and it truly was such a sweet touch. Delicious dinner by Harvest Moon and dancing to follow this crowd thoroughly enjoyed such a perfect summer night!

Thank you to the following vendors: Harvest Moon Catering, Officiant Gay Lee Einstein, Desserts by Sweethaus, DJ Dennis Payne, Photographer Sarah Goodwin Photography, Hair & Make-up by Studio FBJ, Flowers by Verde Natural Florals, Transportation by Albemarle Limousine, and Event Planner Becca Bee Events.

A UVA Wedding with Cav Man! | Kim & Jon

Well, I knew this wedding was going to be a fun one but I had no idea I was in for a treat with the UVA Cav Man making a surprise visit for Kim & Jon’s wedding at Keswick Vineyards on Friday, August 28th. With both Kim & Jon being UVA graduates and choosing orange and blue to be their wedding colors, I guess it was only natural for the Cav Man to be here. Jon is from Texas and Kim is from Singapore. They met when they both were attending UVA. I love how they incorporated that into a custom made map that guests would sign. It showed where each of them were from and then it connected the dots to Virginia to form a heart. They had cowboy boots to add to the décor on that table which they later wore to dance in. Kim & Jon’s wedding ceremony was held at the UVA Chapel. The guys were taken there in style in a super stretch Hummer limousine. Jon had each of the groomsmen bow ties monogrammed for them. I thought that was a nice touch. Cody, from Amore Events, did a beautiful job with all the flowers and the rest of the décor. The combination of Kim’s dress and the bouquet Cody made for her: AMAZING!!!!

As soon as the guests arrived they were treated to Kim & Jon’s signature drink of Sangria’s made with Keswick Vineyards Les Vents d’Anges Chardonnay and Norton wines. Delicious food also awaited them prepared by Roadside Chive. Some homemade desserts were made by family friends along with a wedding cake by Butter Cream Dream. What a treat it was to try some Chinese bacon for a dessert. Yummy! Each guests got a box of fudge to take with them from Kim & Jon’s favorite local chocolatier, The Chocolate Shop.

Thanks to the following vendors for a wonderful job: Event Planner & Florist Cody from Amore Events, Catering by Roadside Chive, Wedding Cake by Butter Cream Dream, DJ Derek Austin from Richmond, Photographer Ashley Cox Parsley Photography, Transportation by Blue Ridge Tours & A&A Limo, Hair by Brianna Adams and Make-up by Susan Kim.
