Beautiful wedding of Corey & Jeff!!
It was such a pleasure working with this couple to plan their wedding. Everything turned out so beautifully thanks to my vendor partners.
Villa Christina/Hyatt at Perimeter Summit was the venue. An outside wedding ceremony took place under the pavilion. Even with a less than desirable weather forecast for the day resulting in strong winds that almost took out some of the decor, we were able to reset and during a few moments of calm, have the ceremony as planned.
Monique from Blossoms Atlanta provided the decor and it was stunning! The bright color palette was refreshing and went perfectly with the garden atmosphere.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed themselves during cocktail hour on the Terrace before being invited to the Ballroom where they entered a gorgeous set-up. Luscious linens from I Do Linens graced the tables while again the floral decor created a visual appeal with the bright colors. The couple wanted guests to enjoy the party and not feel like they had to remain at their tables throughout the reception, so we set up a lounge area that was decorated with personal pillows indicating their college team, professional sports teams and their own personalized pillows that will be used in their home. Collection Event Rentals provided the linen colored sofas and chairs along with a wood coffee table that we adorned with photos of the couple.
Speaking of college, Mark Lotti of Classic Cheesecakes and Cakes created an amazing replica of the Ohio State stadium which was provided as the Groom’s cake. It was a HUGE HIT! He also designed the wedding cake that took the Bride’s breath away!
I always advise my clients to brand (personalize) their event as that is what truly makes it unique. Corey & Jeff did just that. The tables were named after some of their favorite restaurants and on the table sign, the story of that particular restaurant was provided. Guests enjoyed visiting the other tables to read a little more about the couple. This truly provided a unique touch!
EastCoast Entertainment provided the DJ services of Josh Bagley. He did a wonderful job of keeping guests entertained and on the dance floor.
Who doesn’t love a PhotoBooth – well the guests at this wedding sure did! ShutterBooth Atlanta provided their open booth and we selected the silver glitz backdrop to go along with the wedding decor. Everyone had such a great time posing for the photos.
A delicious late night snack was offered to guests so that they could replenish their energy after all of the partying. Burgers fries and onion rings were a hit!
As a send off for the couple, guests lined up waving ribbon wands to wish the couple farewell. It was a beautiful wedding and guests were overheard commenting that it was the best party they have ever been to!
It was such a pleasure working with this couple!! We wish Corey & Jeff a lifetime of Happiness!!!

Leslie & Andre’ say I DO in Grand Style!
Leslie and Andre’ selected one of Atlanta’s most beautiful venues, The Swan House and the Grand Overlook Ballroom of the Atlanta History Center. While they may not be huge “Hunger Games” fans, the location certainly didn’t go unnoticed by their wedding guests.
I fell in love with Leslie’s dress. It was absolutely STUNNING!!! She had a custom head piece made to compliment her attire. When Andre saw her for the first time, he was filled with emotion.
In lieu of a large wedding cake, the couple opted for a small cake from HH Desserts, to be used for cutting, then a dessert display was provided for guests to enjoy. Bold American Events provided the delicious food for the wedding as well as the tasty treats on the dessert display of a Red Velvet cake shooter, Oreo whoopie pies and Key Lime cake pops.
Event Performance provided the string ensemble for the ceremony, and DJ Jeff kept the crowd entertained throughout the evening.
Leslie and her siblings prepared a special dance for the guests and had her father join in. This was definitely a crowd pleaser.
This was such a sweet couple and we were honored to be a part of their special day. We wish them a lifetime of Happiness!!
