Simplicity = Elegance
Jordan and Mathew were married at Keswick Vineyards on June 10th, 2022. They were extremely lucky with the weather on their wedding day as it wasn’t as hot as it has been! They decided to do their ceremony facing our vineyard. This is such a perfect time of the year to have the ceremony in this location since the vineyard is very green and lush in June!
Jordan and Mathew decided to keep everything super simple at their wedding allowing the beauty of the property to speak for itself. I really liked how they had their welcome table tucked in the corner of the carport which allowed their guest to see through to the ceremony location as they arrived! Just look how simple yet elegant their welcome table was!
I also loved their idea for their seating chart. They used a large wooden frame to display their seating chart and by having this be this large, it really acted as a decor piece. They also had beautiful passed appetizers provided by Harvest Moon.
We loved being able to host their wedding! A special thanks to their vendors:

The PERFECT Getaway Car
Emily and Dylan’s wedding on June 4th, 2022 was truly a dream come true. This couple really took advantage of all of the wonderful photo opportunities on property by taking photos by the pool and down near our pond! We haven’t had many couples this season take advantage of the photo opportunities by the pond so we were happy to see them do this. Just look how beautiful the pond is!
My favorite part of their wedding day would have to be their dreamy getaway car. The vintage getaway car was a perfect match with the front of the estate. I kept making jokes all day that if this property was car, it would have to be this one! It really brought out the elegance of the property. Emily and Dylan looked perfect in front of this car!
Another special thing they did on their wedding day was their kids table. I haven’t seen this done at a wedding yet and I really think it brought all the kids together! They also had art supplies set up for the kids to make cards for Emily and Dylan. This was such a great idea as it is something the couple can take with them!
On top of all of these unique things they did, they had a beautiful reception set up! Emily and Dylan were blessed with beautiful weather and such amazing vendors that helped make their dreams a reality!

Another New Ceremony Location
Friday, June 3rd, was the perfect day for a wedding at Keswick Vineyards located just outside of Charlottesville, VA. Jennifer and Ben made sure they would have perfect weather by burying that bottle of bourbon which always seems to do the trick here!
Jennifer knew exactly what she wanted her ceremony location to look like. She had a vision that had to have trees behind her so Jennifer and Ben are the first to get married at this ceremony location. Perhaps it should be named after them????? Not only did she have the trees she wanted but guests also had the view of Edgewood Estate which was built in 1911. With this new ceremony location, we snuck Jennifer and her dad in our golf cart through the vineyard, so she was hidden from everyone and made a surprise entrance different than the wedding party. I always love those little extra things we do for our couples to make their wedding day extra special.
I really love what Jennifer and Ben used for their guest book. Versus the traditional book, guests signed a globe that had their name and wedding date on it. What a wonderful item to display in your home for years to come and to remind you of all the friends and family that made your wedding day so special.
And finally, the food that their caterer made was delicious! I definitely could have made a dinner just out of the appetizers that the caterer made specifically for Jennifer & Ben. It’s awesome that our preferred caterers can do that for our couples. The tent also looked amazing!
