- Ceremony Venue: Petworth United Methodist Church, DC
- Reception Venue: Top of the Town, Arlington, VA -- very accommodating and helpful staff.
- Floral Design: Art with Flowers, McLean, VA
- Ceremony Music: Celebrated String Quartet -- it's always a pleasure working with this group.
- Reception Music: DJ Matt Fulgham -- only works at ToTT. Super easy going and easy to work with.
- Catering: Design Cuisine - Excellent service, food, and presentation.
- Rentals: DC Rentals
- Transportation: Reston Limo & Atlantic Valet -- Katie & her Mom expressed at our very first meeting that transportation was the most important element in providing a pleasant experience for their guests because there is only street parking at the church (not to mention the difficult routing). Reston Limo did a superb job providing two 55-passenger buses for all the guests and transportation for the bridal party and the bride and groom. Nobody got lost and everybody got to where they were suppose to go more or less on time.) A shuttle bus was also provided at the end of the evening so everyone could get back safely.
- Photography: Ever After Images --Can't wait to see the pictures.
Front door wreaths welcoming the guests to the church. The church was built by the bride's great, great grandfather.
My awesome assistant Christina meticulously straightening out the rows of escort cards. The table was simply decorated by two potted orchids.
Why people love to rent this room! A treat for visiting friends and family.
The beautiful room during set up. The calm before the storm!!
A classy table setting not overdone. And it passes my purse test! The cream colored pintuck mixed with the red silky napkins give the table some texture.
The cake table was highlighted with a bronze colored pintuck tablecloth.
Katie and Rhys lived in Philadelphia just until recently so their wedding paid tribute to the City of Brotherly love. Tastee Cakes served as favors and a sweet ending to the evening. Mini cheesesteaks started the night.
eaTip: When choosing ceremony and reception venues and guest hotels, consider how your guests will travel between the various locations. If you have a lot of guests coming in from afar, make it easy on them so that they don't have to rent a car or risk the chance of getting lose between locations. I would suggest that if at all possible to consider venues that are Metro accessible or have your ceremony and reception in one location. Or like Katie & Rhys, provide transportation. Your guests will appreciate the hospitable gesture and will enjoy themselves much more!
