Eric + Diana, The Estate on Second

July 21, 2025

A tap on the shoulder turned Eric around to see his beautiful bride, Diana, standing before him inside the Bridal Suite at The Estate on Second. Happy tears fell from their eyes and smiles filled their faces as soon as they saw each other. The couple read personalized vows and posed for photos together, then lined up for the ceremony.

Guests signed Eric and Diana’s guest book and took a seat inside the Crystal Ballroom. A pastel floral floor arrangement marked the head of the aisle and tall, crafted flowers sprung up in the mix. Once everyone was seated, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Diana. In front of all their family and friends, the bride and groom read their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Fried Chicken and Waffle Bites, Caprese Skewers with Pesto, and Mini Corn Dogs were tray passed around the Speakeasy while the bar served up the newlywed’s signature drinks, an Old Fashioned and Vodka Lemonade. While guests mixed and mingled, Eric and Diana posed for pictures as husband and wife outside of the venue. Once the sun began to set, the couple headed back inside for their reception entrance and guests headed back into the Crystal Ballroom.

Tables were topped with peachy floral filled bud vases and light blue and orange candlesticks. Once everyone was seated the bride and groom made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Tangerine and Pecan Salad was served while family and friends shared toasts, then Cabernet Braised Short Ribs and Honey and Ginger Glazed Salmon with Gourmet Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Asparagus followed. The dinner menu was selected by Eric and Diana with help from our Event Specialist, Lauren. After dinner, the newlyweds cut into their 2-tiered marble wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in a slice. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves.
