Monica & Kyle's Wedding Reception at LaMassaria at Bella Vista - April 2nd 2011

My first LaMassaria at Bella Vista wedding in 2011 turned out to be an amazing one! It was a pleasure meeting Monica & Kyle and I really enjoyed entertaining their families and friends. As always, walking into LaMassaria is always like a breath of fresh air for me. Brad and his staff are always so welcoming, and each and every reception is always a memorable one! Monica & Kyle's Victorian-style wedding decor blended great with the rustic yet elegant restored barn at LaMassaria.

Melania & Doug's Wedding at The Inn at Leola Village

It's always a great privilege to to be a part of a couples wedding day. It's even a bigger privilege and honor to provide services for a fellow wedding professional on their special day! Melania is an extrodinary wedding photographer and it was a pleasure to entertain her family and friends at her wedding. You can check out some of her work at Melania Marta Photography. Although April Fools Day marked the date of Melania & Doug's wedding, they decided to stay away from the jokes and pranks. Instead, Melania & Doug marked their tables with names like "Cliff Lee" and Roy Halladay", in which April 1st, 2011 also hosted the Philadelphia Phillies opening day of baseball. This was my second visit to The Inn at Leola Village in the past few months, and my first Lancaster County wedding of 2011. The Casa di Fiori room at the Inn hosted Melania & Doug's 147 guests, and is where they exchanged their wedding vows and celebrated with family & friends. I provided music for their ceremony, as well as entertainment for the reception. Dan & Rebekah from Simple Life Portraits took care of capturing all the photos for Melania & Doug, and Abby from Abbey Bradshaw Photography was snapping shots at the photobooth (which was a HUGE hit!). I also had the pleasure of working with Heather & Ben from Sugar Leaf Films and they have already put together an AMAZING preview video! (check it out at the bottom of this post).
