Anna + Justin, The Estate on Second

May 7, 2025

After tying the knot off-site, Anna, Justin, and their guests reunited at The Estate on Second to continue the celebration. Mini Corn Dogs, Crab Cakes, and Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons made their rounds around the Speakeasy while the bar served up Paloma and Lemon Drop signature cocktails. A stationary Fresh Vegetable Tray and Charcuterie Tray also provided guests with more items to snack on. While everyone mixed and mingled, the newlyweds posed for photos together upstairs in the Bridal Suite, then joined their guests back downstairs to end cocktail hour together. After plenty of selfies with friends, everyone checked the seating chart and headed into the Crystal Ballroom for the reception.

Sparkling chandeliers hung above tables topped with white tulip-filled vases. Anna and Justin made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared and Santorini Chicken, Tri-Tip Carvery, Rice Pilaf, Fresh Vegetable Medley, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, and Pear and Walnut Salad was served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist. After dinner the couple cut into their wedding cake and invited guests to indulge in our Classic Dessert Station with a collection of Raspberry Chocolate Decadence Cakes, Fresh Fruit Tarts, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Eclairs, Macarons, and French Apple Tarts. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves.
