Lauren & Jarus

Lauren and Jarus were married on his family farm and can we say “AMAZING!”  The scenery was spectacular; a 360-degree view of the beautiful mountains of Virginia!

We literally watched it raining along the mountain ridge behind the house but we managed to dodge the storms and have the outdoor ceremony that Lauren wanted.  Such a sweet ceremony surrounded by family and friends in the backyard of the house!

Lauren’s vision was evident in all the special touches she and Jarus provided for their special day.  Jarus designed and made the guest table centerpieces from wood on the property.  Lauren made personalized mason jars for all the guests that served as their table assignments as well as their drinking glasses for the evening.  There was a dessert bar with various yummy selections and food in abundance for the guests to enjoy!

A superb band provided music for the reception and they kept the guests on the dance floor the entire evening! The evening ended with a sparkler exit and saw the bride and groom off to the after-party elsewhere on the property and then their first night as husband and wife in their very own “treehouse” made completely with wood from the property!  Truly special touches from start to finish for Jarus and Lauren’s very special wedding day!

Emily and Bo

We just love ALL of our couples and we love ALL of our weddings!  In fact, broken record here, we LOVE what we do!

Emily and Bo’s wedding was just a dream wedding from our point of view!  Such a sweet couple and so very much in love with each other.  Emily just glowed as she walked down the aisle to Bo.  Surrounded by a LOT of family and friends, they exchanged vows in a lovely older church in downtown Roanoke.

A live band at cocktail hour provided the bluegrass music that the bride’s father is really into and guests were treated to amazing food and drinks as they mingled with each other while the professional pics were being taken of the wedding party. 

Specialty lighting of special places in Roanoke such as the Mill Mountain Star and other images that had special meaning to the bride and groom were in evidence during the reception.  And after descending the wonderful staircase at the venue, they dined and mingled with their guests and then the party really started with Soul Expressions, a band that I just LOVE.  A great party band with band members that kept the guests dancing the rest of the evening.

A bride and groom who said, on their way out, that it was “perfect!”  Something we always, always, love to hear.

Thanks to the great team of vendors that all pulled together to make it special for Emily and Bo.
