Melanie and Jake shared an intimate Wedding Ceremony and a fun-filled Reception at The Manor House at Commonwealth in Horsham, PA. The Manor House is an 18th Century fieldstone farmhouse nestled on the rolling greens of the Commonwealth National Golf Club.
The evening began with an outdoor ceremony accompanied by live string music. Melanie and Jake posed for some photos along with their Bridal Party while their guests enjoyed cocktails and lavish hors d'oeuvres inside and on the veranda.
After the cocktail hour, we kicked-off the celebration with formal introductions of the Bridal Party, Melanie & Jake's first dance ("Me & You" by Dave Matthews Band) and an invigorating choreographed Bridal Party dance. After Dinner, special dances with Melanie & Jake's Parents, and the Cake Cutting Ceremony, Melanie & Jake and their guests danced the night away!

It was over two years since my last visit to the French Creek Golf Club. French Creek is located in northern Chester County in Elverson, PA, and has many amazing amenities to host virtually any special occasion. I recently had the honor of entertaining Amy & Chris's intimate Sunday wedding celebration. With temperatures rising into the mid-nineties, there was plenty of sunshine for their outdoor ceremony which took place outdoors around the spring house and pond.
Normally, guests will enjoy "cocktail hour" outside under the covered patio overlooking the golf course. Instead, they took advantage of the comfortable air conditioning inside the ballroom. Amy & Chris's reception began with formal introductions, first dance, and special dances with their parents. After a toast by the best man, dinner was served and the fun began! I projected a custom monogram behind the sweetheart table displaying Amy & Chris's initials, as well as decorated the ballroom with wireless LED uplighting to match their wedding colors. Later on, the lighting came "alive", changing colors to the beat of the music.
Dennille & Austin recently shared an elegant and fun-filled wedding day celebration. This was my first visit to the Historic Hotel Bethlehem located in downtown Bethlehem, in the heart of the Lehigh Valley. "Restored to it's original 1922 grandeur, Historic Hotel Bethlehem's floor-to-ceiling palladium windows, painted murals and beautiful balconies provide an elegant 1920's decor". Everything about the Hotel Bethlehem was top-notch, and I look forward to entertaining there in the near future!
Upon arrival, Dennille & Austin's guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the Mezzanine overlooking the Grand Ballroom. Laurie Velitskovich of Photography by Laurie captured photos of the Bridal Party before they joined their guests upstairs for a receiving line. The reception began with formal introductions, toasts, and a few special dances. A photobooth was setup across the hall in the Lafayette Room for all to enjoy.
Alexis & Steven shared an intimate Ceremony and fun-filled Reception at The Loft at Sweetwater Country Club in Pennsburg, PA. This was my second time working at the Loft, and I hope to be back again soon! I provided music and amplification for Alexis & Steven's outdoor Ceremony overlooking the beautiful grounds of the golf course, as well as music during the cocktail hour under the patio.
After formal introductions of the Bridal Party, Alexis & Steven entered from the second floor of the loft and made their way to the dance floor where they shared their first dance. After dinner, they shared special dances with their parents, and then the party began! Special thanks to Caren Ann Geiges Photography for the awesome photos! Check out her blog to see more!
Kelly and Jeff had a lively and very enjoyable reception. After a ceremony at a nearby church, they arrived at The Brookside Country Club in Pottstown, PA looking forward to an evening of celebrating. I had the pleasure of entertaining Kelly's family for the second time within a year, after her sister's wedding took place last summer.
