I have to thank Breathe Events for this referral as Lauren was having herself a smashing event on the same date :)
Kathy, Diane's mom, contacted me because her wedding planner had some family issues and basically deserted her. Luckily, I had wored with some of her vendors so that made life easier. Diane, outside of choosing the venue, let Kathy planned her whole wedding! Talk about delegating!
Another beautiful wedding at Mt. Vernon Inn. I was there earlier this year in April. It's really a lovely venue but it's on the small size. We had about 200 people for dinner inside with dancing out on the back patio. If it had rain, it would have been a logistical nightmare. I would sugges that if anyone is looking to have an even there, the guest list should be no more than 120. Thumbs up to the kitchen for a great buffet (especially the crabcakes) and they serve my favorite beer (Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout)!!
Erik Svensson was their photographer. Lace Music provided the strings ensemble for the ceremony, the jazz pianist for the cocktail hour, and Tony was our DJ. Growing Wild provided the floral designs and tent decor. Check out some of Barbara's work below.
Sorry for the blurry picture (tried the slower shutter speed on my digital camera but my hands were shaky.) Barbara von Elm went above and beyond the call of duty in the back patio. She strung lights along the stairwell banisters and along the inside of the tent, as well as the bags along terraces.
Beautiful and delicious cake by Rocio Diaz. Also in the photo is the toss bouquet by Growing Wild and the linen from Party Cloths in a gold leaf motif.
Don't waste your ceremony flowers! We brought the pew posies (the white hydrangeas) from the church and used them as decor on the guestbook table along with a memorial arrangement to the father of the groom.
