I’m sure anyone who stopped by the East Aurora Movie Theatre on Saturday April 20th, was surprised to find more than movie posters in the lobby of the old theatre. Jaclyn and Eric decided to have their ceremony their, and with champagne and popcorn awaiting their guests, it was hard to imagine anything being more adorable. Then of course there were the movie posters starring the two of them. Almost too much to handle! Eric was all smiles and laughter and Jaclyn was beaming as she hid away in the back room. Soon the moment arrived and as Eric waited for his bride on stage, he began crying the second he saw her. It’s those moments I have to use all of my focus to not cry as well. They greeted each other and after that, Jaclyn could barely take her eyes off her to-be husband. When he choked up during his vows, she pulled him into a bear hug and it seemed like it was just two of them in room. Who knew meeting at a hot dog eating contest could lead to something so beautiful?! Jaclyn and Eric are a perfect couple and I enjoyed every moment that I was able to spend with them. Congratulations to you both and a lifetime of happiness!

I think I’ve said it before, but if not I’ll say it now. Pearl Street is an amazing place to get married. That couldn’t have been more true than on March 23rd for Dan & Jamie’s big day. Although they have a lot of friends and family, they chose to hold the ceremony privately, and then invite people up to celebrate with a champagne toast and traditional reception. It was lovely that they chose the private moment because it was easier for them to open up to each other. That was obvious when 5 words in (exactly), Jamie started sobbing (in the cutest way imaginable). They were so moved by the moment they were sharing and they didn’t have to worry about anyone watching them. They created their own magical moment. When something that beautiful happens, you don’t sweat the other stuff (like maybe forgetting the marriage license)!
Dan and Jamie are a perfect couple and the perfect way to start off the wedding season. Couple that with their love of garden gnomes and you can see why I’m so happy with my job. Congratulations Dan & Jamie! I adore both of you and wish you nothing but the best!!!

I can’t believe how long it took me to talk about the adorableness that took place on 12/12/12, at the Creekside Banquet Facility! Jade Zora and Dave were finally ready to make their move, after exactly nine years of loving each other. They were a bit nervous. Ok, Dave seemed really nervous, but that’s what made the evening all the more charming. Not to mention Dave is a bit of a perfectionist, so there was no room for error this evening. Lucky for the couple, it ended up being a beautiful moment and a perfect evening. Jade and Dave couldn’t really go more than a couple moments without checking in with each other before the ceremony, and seemed to find their nerves in stolen moments of holding hands and pre-ceremony kisses. When the moment finally happened, I think they were surprised at how painless it was! Jade Zora looked beautiful and although it was a gorgeous event, I’m sure they were both happy at the end of the day to relax with their adorable dog Autumn (who looks like an artic fox)!!! Congratulations Jade Zora and David! I’m so happy I met both of you and got to spend such a special date with such a special couple.

Winter Holiday Weddings

Christmas and New Years is a favorite time of year for a lot of people. But more so for those who are marrying the love of their life! Here are some sites that offer tips and ideas for pulling off a gorgeous winter holiday wedding!!!

Also, these tips can be helpful as well.

1. Start shopping for your wedding decorations and favors early. Purchase Christmas ornaments, ribbon, lights, etc. just after Christmas (the year before your wedding) when they are on sale.

2. Book your venue well in advance. The Christmas season is a hugely popular time of year for functions.

3. Let out-of-town guests know well in advance that you are having a holiday wedding so they can make travel arrangements and book accommodations before the holiday rush.

4. Have out-of-town guests arrive a couple of days in advance, in case of inclement weather.

5. Have Santa act as the emcee, or have him simply hand out favors.

6. Serve hot beverages, such as cocoa and hot cider at the reception to keep guests cozy.

7. Make sure venue will be decorated for Christmas by paying a visit. If not, enlist the help of friends and family to make it festive.

8. Instead of a gift table, have guests place gifts under a Christmas tree.

9. Have Christmas carolers provide music during cocktail hour.

10. To keep warm, wear a long-sleeved gown
