A+B=Congratulations!!! | Amy & Benjamin

Congratulations to Amy & Benjamin who were married at Keswick Vineyards in Charlottesville on Saturday, June 29th.  What a beautiful and personal outdoor ceremony they had since it was Benjamin's Mother who performed it.  I was amazed how she was able to keep it together.  I would think that would be so hard to do; marrying your son.  Amy & Benjamin had a very busy year leading up to this day.  Both of them are doctors and had just finished their residency and also moved.  It was great to see them relaxing and enjoying their day with family and friends.  Both of them are UVA graduates, along with most of their friends, so you know they had a great time!  

None of this would of been possible without the help from the following vendors:  Catering by Harvest Moon, DJ Derek Tobler, Musician for ceremony & cocktail hour Peter Richardson, Event Planner Cate Liverman, Photographer Marirosa Anderson, Blue Ridge Florals, Cakes by Rachel, University Transit Services for buses and MS Events.

Ashley & Michael's Wedding Day | Ashley & Michael

Congratulations to Ashley & Michael who were married at Keswick Vineyards wedding venue on Saturday, June 22nd.  Once again, Mother Nature did her job by providing beautiful weather for their Charlottesville wedding.  Not only did Ashley & Michael have beautiful weather during the day, but they had a super moon that evening that rarely happens.  It is when the moons distance is the closest it will get to earth.  This couple was full of creativity as you will see by a couple of photo's.  I love the idea of having their guests make thumb prints on a drawing of a vineyard.  Each thumb print was a grape of the vine!  What a beautiful keepsake to hang in their home.  I also like how they used old shutters to display their guests table assignments.  

Special thanks to the following vendors:  Catering by C&O, Event Planner Barb Wired, DJ T.D. Layman of Sound Enforcement, Photographer Don Mears, Blue Ridge Florals, Albemarle Baking Company, Albemarle Limousine for buses and get away car, Hair & Make-up Artist Virginia Glenn, Officiant Mary Rodgers and rentals by MS Events.  Click here to see photos by Don Mears.

Congratulations Susan & John | Susan & John

Congratulations to Susan & John who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, June 15th. The day before we had a wedding with a lot of guests flying in from South Africa. This wedding had many guests that had flown in from Korea for Susan & John's Charlottesville wedding! That is what makes my job so great; to meet people I never would have the opportunity to meet and hear family stories from them. It was a wonderful site to see many of the guest wearing traditional Korean garments. They are so colorful!

Special thanks to the following vendors for doing such a wonderful job, especially Jaclyn and her crew from Exchange Events: Catering by Exchange Events, DJ Greg Tutwiler, Musician Mike D'Antoni, Photographer Cade Bowman, Hair Artist Ashley Brecken, Florist Terri Bell, Pastries by Paradox Pastry & Albemarle Baking Company, Officiant Aram Bae, Camryn Limo for the get away car, rentals by MS Events and Event Planner Lauren DunnClick here to view Photographer Cade Bowman's blog.

Congratulations Lauren & Jaco | Lauren & Jaco

Congratulations to Lauren & Jaco who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Friday, June 14th.  Amazing weather they had for their wedding day.  It was great hosting their wedding here since Jaco is from South Africa and so is our Winemaker, Stephen Barnard.  They immediately hit it off when they met and Stephen made sure to stop by to wish them luck on their wedding day.  It amazed me how many of their guests flew in from South Africa for their Charlottesville wedding.  It was our pleasure to introduce them all to Virginia wine country.  I love the color Lauren chose for her bridesmaids to wear.  With the selection of flowers & colors in their bouquets everything looked amazing!  Also enjoyed the use of our wine barrels and an old door to create a bar for cocktail hour.  

Special thanks to the following vendors:  Catering by Exchange Events, Event Planner Barb Wired, DJ T.D. Layman of Sound Enforcement, Photographer Jamie Kay of JMK Photography, Hair & Make-up by Daphne Latham, Florist Verde Natural Florals, Pastry Chef Bake Love Bakery, Officiant Tere Canzoneri, Camryn Limousine and rentals by MS Events.  Click here to see some of the professional photo's by JMK Photography.
