Sarah met Matt outside The Estate on Second for their first look. She walked over in her beautiful, white wedding dress and flowing chiffon cape and waited with a smile for Matt to turn around. When he turned around to see his stunning bride you could see the love in both their eyes. Photos were taken to capture the organic moment, then the two walked around the outside of the venue to take more photos before their ceremony started so they would have more time with friends and family during cocktail hour. Back at The Estate, guests were arriving to a decorated Crystal Ballroom. Candles lined the aisle and pampas grass stood tall to frame in the ceremony space. Pretty soon, Matt was at the head of the aisle and Sarah was walking towards him surrounded by friends and family. Sarah and Matt exchanged loving vows and said, “I do” before heading into cocktail hour.
A European & Domestic Cheese Wedge Tray station was set up for hungry guests and servers walked around The Estate tray passing Pomodoro Bruschetta, Ellie’s Parmesan Meatballs, and Lemon Parmesan Artichoke Hearts as hors d’oeuvres. Guests found their way to the bar where they could choose from an assortment of wine and beer or select one of the newlywed’s signature cocktails, an Old Fashioned or Moscow Mule. Before long, everyone was invited back to the Crystal Ballroom to enjoy dinner. Sarah and Matt made their grand entrance and shared their first dance before the buffet opened. Pear & Walnut Salad, Chicken Piccata, Roasted Italian Zucchini, Garlic Parmesan Roasted Mushrooms, and Tortellini with Creamy Pesto was served. After eating their fill, everyone found their way to the dance floor which was only natural for the guests of Matt and Sarah’s wedding. Between splits and spins, Cookies and Milk Shots were set out for dessert as a sweet treat to end the evening.
