On a beautiful blustery September day two of the sweetest people you will ever meet tied the knot. This wasn’t the couples first marriage, so they were going to do things their way! A unique way that was more focused on having fun than going about the “traditional rules” of a wedding.

I had met Marilyn about 9 months prior to her wedding date and I instantly loved her ideas of flipping the traditional wedding schedule around and starting with guests having the cocktail hour first, and the bride and groom mingling with the guests before the ceremony. I was extremely happy to make her ideas work and make the wedding more of a party with a wedding ceremony in the middle then the traditional wedding.

Marilyn was a thoughtful and meticulous bride. So she had a very clear vision of what she wanted her special day to be like. She chose a gorgeous venue at the Riverside Pavilion in Port Orange with the sweeping views of the Halifax River. This is a perfect spot for outside pictures during the day and beautiful view of the rising full moon at night.

Marilyn and Joe handmade a custom moon gate to say their vows underneath. A sweet idea that Marilyn had that was brought to life on their special day.

With the help of RPS Catering for the fabulous buffet and decorative tables the room was transformed into a pink paradise. From a pink candy bar of every girls dreams to the pink paper fans for the ladies at each table to take home as a favor. Joe had the guys covered with a cigar bar with multiple cigars and accessories.
