Mazel Tov!!! | Fayette & Mark

Congratulations to Fayette & Mark who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, July 27th.  Mother Nature played tricks with the weather radar all day making it a little stressful for a decision if  the ceremony should be held outside or under the tent.  Fayette had the final decision and she chose to have the ceremony outside so we all got busy to make that happen.  Flowers by Natalie did an amazing chuppah for their ceremony, I have never seen one like that before.  It was just perfect for a vineyard ceremony.  Fayette wore the most striking wedding dress.  The details and lines to it really made a statement.  She looked amazing!  Guests couldn't help but to get up and do the traditional hora chair dance.  Even both sets of parents were hoisted up!   And, after the stress Mother Nature caused during the afternoon, she ended up delivering us a beautiful evening for everyone to enjoy.  

Special thanks to the following vendors for doing an amazing job:  Caterer Harvest Moon, Event Planner Barb Wired, DJ Pauly Madison, Photographer Aaron WatsonFlowers by Natalie, Pastry Chef Albemarle BakeryCantor Jinny Marsh and Ambassador Limo for buses and limo's.  Click here to read and see some photo's from Aaron Watson from his Part I blog.  Click here to see Part II.  Click here to see this wedding featured on Real Weddings.

Congratulations Liza & Trey! | Liza & Trey

Congratulations to Liza & Trey who were married at Grace Episcopal Church on Saturday, July 20th.  After a beautiful ceremony at the church, guests made their way to Keswick Vineyards for cocktails and reception.  Rick Olivarez Trio played jazz music while guests enjoyed wines from Keswick Vineyards and tasty hors d'oeuvres by 20 South Catering.  Guests then proceeded to find their seat under the Sperry tent.  The beauty of the tent was enhanced by the floral arrangements by Pat's Floral Design.  Liza & Trey had rented some farm tables to be used as their head table which looked lovely with their decor.  Guests worked up a sweat dancing the night away with DJ TD Layman of Sound Enforcement.  And, what better way to finish the evening than to enjoy a delicious piece of wedding cake by Cakes Unlimited!

Rita & Blake Are Married!!! | Rita & Blake

Congratulations to Rita and Blake who were married Saturday, July 13th, at Keswick Vineyards.  It's been a pleasure to work with Rita's parents during the wedding planning months.  It was such a wonderful experience to be part of their celebration.  Once again, the relationship between Rita and her father is a very special one and their first look was so memorable.  Their embrace lasted for minutes as they shared that special moment.  I was lucky enough to be around to take some photo's of that moment as you will see below.  Rita looked breathtaking in her traditional wedding gown.  All the men wore seersucker suits with tan shoes that just looked perfect with the navy blue bridesmaids dresses.  Throw in a dash of yellow with flowers and you have one beautiful looking wedding party!  Mother Nature decided to bless their ceremony with a slight sprinkle right at the end of their ceremony.  As their officiant said at the dinner blessing, those were tears of joy of the people watching from above.  That little sprinkle provided some beautiful skies for some photo's which I couldn't help but take of the beautiful grounds surrounding Edgewood Estate.

Vow Renewal for Cabell & Chase | Cabell & Chase

Congratulations to Cabell & Chase who renewed their wedding vows on Saturday, July 6th, at Keswick Vineyards.  Over the past year, Keswick Vineyards has gotten to know this family very well.  Some of you may recognize Cabell's parents who were one of the winning groups of our Consensus Blending Party (their picture is on the label!)  It was great to celebrate with them this wonderful occasion.  Love their idea of having a cigar bar during their cocktail hour and after reception.  You will see that many of their guests enjoyed it.  Was also taken by their corn hole boards that had LED lights around the opening so they could play into the darkness of the evening.  How great is that?  

Special thanks to the following vendors who did an outstanding job:  Worthington PhotographyGroovin’ Gourmets CateringDJ Mark Allen, Ron Barker of CigarVolante LLC, Hair & Make-up by Moxie SalonFlowers by NatalieCakes by Graham, Officiant Dr. Jim Lavendar, Musicians Belle Isle Strings, Skyline Tent Company and Albemarle Limousine for buses.
