Angelica + Steven, The Estate on Second

January 13, 2023

A tearful first look was shared between Angelica and Steven inside the Estate on Second for their wedding day. The bride and groom soaked in the intimate moment before joining their wedding party just outside the venue for group photos. The groomsmen were dressed in black suits with rust-colored ties and the bridesmaids wore silky brick red dresses. Together, the group paraded around the venue grounds posing for the camera and creating lasting memories until it was time to line up for the ceremony.

Guests signed Steven and Angelica’s guest book, then headed into the Crystal Ballroom. Candles lined the aisle and two floral structures stood tall as the ceremony backdrop. Once everyone had arrived, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Angelica. Another happy tears moment was shared when the bride and groom locked eyes down the aisle. Together in front of their family and friends, Angelica and Steven recited vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss as the crowd cheered.

Roasted Red Cherry Tomato Bruschetta and Fig, Goat Cheese, and Mascarpone Tarts were tray passed while the bar served beer and wine. Guests mixed and mingled while trying their shot at a round of mini golf. Meanwhile, the newlyweds were off with their photographer capturing photos as husband and wife. Upon their return, it was time for dinner.

Terracotta table runners were topped with centerpieces of eucalyptus and fresh flowers. Guests found their seats, then Angelica and Steven made their grand entrance. The two danced their way into the Crystal Ballroom and took a seat at their sweetheart table where a dinner of Chicken Parmigiana, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Roasted Italian Zucchini, Italian Green Beans with Pancetta, and Caesar Salad was served. The menu was selected by the bride and groom during their planning process with our Event Specialist, Arielle. While everyone ate, friends and family shared toasts. Glasses clinked in the air when the speeches concluded, then Steven and Angelica cut into their wedding cake. Slices of marble wedding cake were shared as dessert and the evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves.
