This past Saturday we hosted a wedding ceremony and reception on our North side. Over 250 guests arrived to share in the wedding celebration. The ceremony took place on the outdoor patio. The bride looking elegant, walked down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon and met her groom. The happy couple was married under a white arch adorned in purple and white flowers. After the ceremony the guests proceeded into the entry hall for a cocktail hour where they dined on passed hors d'oeuvres and a gourmet cheese display.The reception which was in the grand ballroom featured guest seating tables that were covered with periwinkle pintuck linens, while the family tables were covered with plum satin linens. The floral centerpieces included purple and white hydrangeas, sterling and Eskimo roses, bells of Ireland, and stock flowers. The wedding favors that were placed at each setting were picture frames for the adults and candy for the children. The children also enjoyed an activity table in the small table which featured coloring books and stickers.
For dinner the guests dined on Waldorf Astoria salad, filet mignon, classic chicken piccata, haricot verts, and a mixed potato gratin. For dessert, everyone enjoyed wedding cake that was served with fresh berries, assorted cheesecakes, and chocolate chip and amaretto biscotti along with a coffee station. The food was amazing and afterwards the guests enjoyed dancing the night away.
Some of the vendors that helped make the wedding a success were Main Event Caterers, Dragonfly events and Design, The Flower Gallery of Manassas, and Still Creation photographers.
