Kayla + Dan, The Estate on Second

July 1, 2019

Kayla buttoned up her beautiful lace wedding gown in The Suite while Dan completed his look in The Attic at The Estate on Second. After the two finished getting ready, wedding gifts were exchanged. Kayla received bridal Mickey ears and a Disney backpack while Dan tearfully read his card and opened his gifts. After spending this precious moment apart, they came together for their first look. When Dan’s eyes met Kayla’s, you could feel their infectious love for each other.  Photos were taken with the bride and groom and then with the whole wedding party before the ceremony commenced.

The Crystal Ballroom was decorated in purple lights while greenery and white roses hung as a backdrop at the head of the aisle. Lanterns filled with candles lit the way for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, then everyone stood as Kayla walked down the aisle to Dan. Loving vows were exchanged and Kayla and Dan’s ceremony was sealed with a kiss. Guests made their way to cocktail hour and enjoyed Fig, Goat Cheese & Mascarpone Tarts with Pomegranate Sauce, Filet & Wild Mushroom Wellingtons with Bearnaise Sauce and Ellie’s Parmesan Meatballs while playing games like Connect Four. The bar was serving up drinks including the couples signature cocktails: The Kentucky Mule and Greyhound. After mingling, everyone made their way inside to indulge in dinner. Caesar Salad, Wild Field Green Salad, Chicken Rigatoni, Chicken Rotolo Bolzano, and Italian Green Beans with Pancetta were served. For something sweet, our Classic Dessert Station was set up with French Macarons, Raspberry Chocolate Decadence, Fresh Fruit Tarts, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Eclairs and French Apple Tarts. A photo station was set up for family and friends to pose with props while having their picture taken through out the evening before saying their goodbyes to the newlyweds.
