Wine, Women and Song

Annie and Matt @ Grace Winery

June 8th 2013

Along the back roads where Chester and Delaware counties mingle in the country there is a wonderful bed and breakfast with a new twist. Sweetwater Farms now host an amazing winery called Grace Winery, born from the resurrection of the old barn on the property with an area around the back to have your ceremony there as well.

This was the rustic but elegant setting for Annie and Matt's recent wedding I had the honor of being a part of.   With an amazing hour of cocktails followed by an exquisitely prepared dinner by Feastivities

staff and the table side wine service of Grace Winery's own wines.  Annie and Matt opened the dance floor with their first dance followed by the cutting of the wedding cake.

 All of their guests then joined them on the dance floor and danced the evening away while continuing to enjoy the fantastic selection of wines created on premise.  I look forward to the next event I get to DJ there and congratulations to Annie and Matt !!!

Rolling on the River

MEREDITH & RICH - JUNE 2, 2012 - GLEN FOERD MANSION
Along the Delaware river is a section that has historic mansion built during the industrial heyday of Philadelphia with expansive grounds that join up right to the rivers edge providing a fairytale background for a wedding. 
Glen Foerd Mansion is just one of these magnificent places.

 Meredith and Rich utilized the amazing grounds for a pre-ceremony photo shoot allowing Cathie from
BG Productions to capture some amazing images.

 Silver Sound provided the remote sound for the ceremony riverside along with the string quartet
as Meredith and Rich exchanged their vows with a gorgeous backdrop of the peaceful Delaware river and flowers by Darlene of Precious Petals.

Post ceremony the guests were treated to a fabulous cocktail hour inside the mansion before being seated for dinner in the dining room with remote sound for dinner music and toasts. The spectacular meal was provided by the amazing staff of Conroy Catering the exclusive caterers at Glen Foerd.

Following dinner the guests were invited out to the observatory for the remainder of the festivities. They were treated to a beautiful visual presentation of the Observatory uplight with 18 uplights provided by Silver Sound Entertainment around the room in blue transforming the room into something quite unique.

Meredith and Rich were announced into the room and did their first dance to "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson. After some dancing the attention was turned to the cutting of not one but two cakes. The wedding cake and a special groom's cake.

The ladies were then invited to slip out of their heels into some more comfortable shoes as all proceeded to dance the night away and leave some special memories for the bride and groom via a photobooth.

 All the best to Meredith & Rich it was an outstanding honor to be part of your special day!
