Wedding #2 - Jane & Kevin at the Clarendon Ballroom in Arlington (I'm partial to this venue since I had my own reception there.)
I LOVE the Clarendon Ballroom and don't think I've ever turned down an opportunity to eat their food :) and to work with Sandra, the catering manager and her new assistant, Amanda. Not to mention that it is just a few miles from my house - how could I say no?
Jane and Kevin met doing theatre work. Jane, lawyer by day, musical lover by night; and Kevin, pool owner by day, actor by night. Double trouble! They are another couple that have been together for something like 13 years!! Crazy!
To continue on my quest to do things extra, extra early, I made my husband get up early before Jennifer and Daniel's wedding to pick up and drop of Jane's stuff at the ballroom. A whole day before!
On the wedding day, I visited Jane at the hotel, who was cool as a cucumber. I got to the ballroom extra early and was completely done with setup by the time families arrived for photos. We had a beautiful, although long, Jewish ceremony, complete with a song from the best man and 7 readings. When we were done flipping the room, it was transformed into a fabulous dining room.
There were so many great moments at this wedding: Kevin & Jane's cheeky first dance (choreographed to include all sorts of theatrical moments) to The Best is Yet to Come; the best man serenading the couple to a Beatles tune; to all their theatre friends standing together for a rousing rendition of an Irish song in a capella and harmony.
Flowers were provided Flowers Unique by Marchand in Alexandria, the band Starfire kept the dance floor completely packed all night, photography by Tony Brown of Imijination Photography (can't wait to see the photos - I previewed some great shots), the beautiful cake and chocolate lollipop favors (with theatre masks imprinted) by their friend Keith Ryder.
