Amanda & James's Wedding Reception at The Warrington Township Country Club

Amanda & James celebrated their wedding day in style.......Philadelphia Phillies style. I am a HUGE phillies fan, so entertaining Amanda & James's reception was a blast! This was my second wedding of my "double-header" Saturday, July 16th. DJ Jonathan Vining assisted me at the Joseph Ambler Inn for Sonya and Brandon's daytime wedding reception in nearby North Wales, and then we made the 25 minute trip to the Warrington Country Club for Amanda & James's reception. Their reception began in the Briar Rose room, where Amanda & James's 190 guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, while we provided a remote sound system to play background music for the guests to enjoy. The guests then moved into the Wedgewood Ballroom, awaiting introductions of the Bridal Party. Upon entering the Ballroom, the guests were "wowed" by the vintage and current photos of Phillies players displayed on the tables, as well as the custom printed rally towells placed at each seat. The reception began full of excitement and energy, as I had all the guests waive their rally towells in the air while welcoming the Bridal Party into the Ballroom. Following the introductions, Amanda & James shared a first dance before dinner began. Duca Studios had 2 photographers on hand capturing all the excitement.

Amy & Travis's Wedding Reception at the Eden Resort

Amy & Travis's 4th of July weekend wedding started off at a Lancaster County church in Newmanstown, and then continued at The Best Western Premier Eden Resort & Suites  in Lancaster, PA. This was my first opportunity working at the Eden Resort, and I was VERY impressed with everything the facility had to offer. After an evening of entertaining, I would have to rate the Eden Resort as one of the top 5 wedding venues in Lancaster County. Amy & Travis's guests enjoyed cocktails and  hor'dourves at the Eden while they made a few stops for pictures along the way with photographer Melania Shertzer from Melania Marta Photography and Melania's assistant for the day April Hoffman of ALH Designs (and I "borrowed" a few of their photos to add to my blog... Thanks Melania!). The reception began with introductions, first dance, parent dances, and a remembrance dance, where all guests joined the Bride & Groom on the dance floor honoring family members that had passed. Amy's mother had special suprise planned to take place during dinner..... since Amy & Travis have dated since the 5th grade, her mother had their 5th grade teacher "crash" the reception and made them do a square dance to "Boot Scoot Boogie", just like they had done at school years ago. After dinner, Amy & Travis cut their wedding cake, and then met their bridal party on the dance floor to break it down with Fulkultur's "The Ugly Dance" (check it out @ http://www.theuglydance.com/). I also happened to catch a little video of their dance, check it out below. Here's how Amy & Travis's reception went:
