Forever Begins at The Estate on Second
Christian and his groomsmen were at the Gypsy Den waiting for Danielle and her bridesmaids to finish getting ready before heading over to The Estate for the big first look reveal. The girls popped champagne and got into their dresses, then anxiously awaited the groomsmen and the groom’s arrival. Christian arrived and stood with his back to Danielle in The Attic with a smile on his face waiting to see his beautiful bride. Danielle, dressed in a stunning long-sleeve lace wedding gown, slowly approached her future husband and tapped his shoulder for him to turn around. When he turned around, the two looked at each other with loving eyes and even bigger smiles. The two love birds took a few photos and then went to The Terrace to take bridesmaids and groomsmen photos. The bridesmaids wore maroon floor-length dresses in different styles while the groomsmen all wore light grey suits with maroon ties and pocket squares. During this time, guests began trickling into the Crystal Ballroom and taking their seats. The Crystal Ballroom was decorated in candles, eucalyptus, and white and red flowers. Once everyone was seated, the wedding party began walking down the aisle. Lastly, Danielle stepped out and made her way to Christian at the head of the aisle. The two exchanged vows and were pronounced husband and wife before making their way to cocktail hour. Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons with Bearnaise Sauce and Kalamata Pistachio Rolls with Orange Honey Glaze were being tray passed and a European & Domestic Cheese Wedge Tray was stationed for guests to enjoy. The bar opened and was serving up signature Skinny Margaritas and Old Fashioned cocktails among other beverages. Everyone mixed and mingled before being invited inside for dinner. Grand entrances, first dances and toasts were made before each table was excused to the buffet to fill their plates with delicious food. Pear and Walnut Salad, Chicken Florentine, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Mashed Potatoes and a Fresh Vegetable Medley were chosen by Danielle and Christian from our Classic Menu for the evening. After guests ate their fill they hit the dance floor for the remainder of the evening.
