May 31, 2008 - Vanessa & Andrew's Reception


As evidenced by the above unity candle set-up (and more on that later), my event this past Saturday included both ceremony and reception. Vanessa & Andrew's celebration took place at the Longue Vue Club in Verona...and what a beautiful day! The rain stayed away long enough for the ceremony & cocktail hour to take place on the outside patio with everyone moving inside for dinner and the reception. The breeze on the patio made it a bit difficult to light the candles pictured above but, with a quick move by yours truly and a little help from my DJ console cover, we were able to shield the breeze enough to make unity candle lighting happen...whew!

Before the ceremony, Vanessa's mom told me that she (and everyone else!) was ready to dance...and she wasn't kidding! The reception was a ton of fun with a great crowd on the dance floor all night. I even had a request for "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" that turned into an amazing sing-a-long!

Vanessa & Andrew have been together since high school and made their way through college and grad school together as well. Andrew just received his doctorate and will soon be starting an internship in Philadelphia. So my congratulations and best wishes to you both for many reasons!

I worked with another favorite vendor tonight...Bob Carroll of N-Focus photography. If Bob was any more laid back I'd have to check him for a pulse...LOL...and that's a good thing! Bob is one of the few photographers I link to on my website. Check out his website at http://www.n-focus.net/ and you'll see why.

I also met April from Mocha Rose Floral tonight. April provided the flowers for Megan & Brian's wedding two weeks ago (which were beautiful...as were the ones this evening) but we never "formally" introduced ourselves until tonight. Please visit her website at http://www.mocharose.com/ to find out what she can do for you!

Now, here are some pictures from Vanessa & Andrew's day...
