Sarah & Brian's Wedding Reception at The Spring Ford Country Club

I had the pleasure of entertaining Sarah & Brian's Wedding Reception at The Spring Ford Country Club. This was my first time working at the facility in quite some time, and it was the first large event for the Country Club's new General Manager, Brad Williams formerly from LaMassaria at Bella Vista. Sarah & Brian's 170 guests consisting of family and close friends arrived at the Country Club anxious to celebrate after a ceremony at a nearby church. A close colleague of mine, Scott from Flowers by Florabundance helped Sarah decorate the room with her "antique" style theme. Photographer Ben Reeder captured all the special moments.

Christina & Justin's Wedding Reception at LaMassaria at Bella Vista

After a VERY busy fall "wedding season", I'm finally getting back into the swing of things....I had the pleasure of entertaining Christina & Justin's Wedding Reception at one of my favorite venues, LaMassaria at Bella Vista. Christina & Justin's Reception was not the "typical" Reception that most have experienced. Instead of having a "formal" sit-down dinner, the guests enjoyed appetizer stations and passed hors d'oeuvres. This allowed extra time for dancing... and also gave me the chance to start the party almost immediately! I had the pleasure of again working with videographers Amy & Jim from Abominable Productions. Their work is amazing, & I can't wait to see some video highlights! Here's how Christina & Justin's Cocktail Reception went:
