Michelle + Joe, The Estate on Second

November 24, 2025

Michelle and Joe met outside on the Estate’s terrace for their first look. A tap on the shoulder turned Joe around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a silky wedding gown holding a bouquet of fresh green, pink, and white flowers. Smiles filled both their faces and sweet compliments were exchanged as the two shared the intimate moment together. Afterwards, the couple posed for photos with their bridesmaids and groomsmen, then lined up for the ceremony.

Guests signed Joe and Michelle’s guest book and found a seat inside the Estate on Second’s Crystal Ballroom. White flower petals lined the aisle leading to a white draped backdrop framed in by moody deep red, plum, pink, and white floral arrangements. As soon as everyone was seated, the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their closest friends and family, Joe and Michelle recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Gloria’s Caramelized Bacon Wrapped Franks were tray passed around the Speakeasy while the bar served up Whiskey Sour and Espresso Martini signature drinks. Guests surrounded the Charcuterie Tray station and made plates while mixing and mingling. The bride and groom made their rounds posing for selfies and thanking guests for attending, then it was time for the reception.

Back in the Crystal Ballroom, tables were topped with ivory candlesticks, floral-filled bud vases, and fresh fruits. Joe and Michelle made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared and Chicken Marsala, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Jasmine Rice, Green Beans, and Caesar Salad were served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Arielle. After dinner, the newlyweds cut into our Vintage Heart Cake and invited their guests to indulge in our Italian Dessert Station with a collection of Fresh Fruit Tarts, Chocolate Dipped Cannoli, Florentine Cookies, Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Bars, and Mini Italiano Tiramisu Cupcakes. The evening ended with lots of fun games played and dances shared out on the dance floor.
