Kristine & Philip’s Wedding at The Log Cabin in Holyoke MA

Kristine & Philip had an amazing day for their wedding at The Log Cabin in Holyoke.  Guest were outside for social hour and even a while after dinner as the weather was just spectacular.

We worked with Kathy Bunnell from Bunnell Photo and Nelson from Creative Video By Nelson that night.

With over 300 guests in attendance, this was a huge crowd.  There were a mix of Portuguese and Greek in the audience so we played a diversified mix of music for all.  We also provided the remote speakers outside for social hour and throughout the night.  We setup our uplighting around the perimeter of the room, did a red color wash and projected their name in lights on the dance floor.  We pin spot both the sweetheart table and their cake.  And of course we provided Master of Ceremony services and a mix of music to set the party tone for the night.

Introduction Song:    OMG (Remix) - Usher
First Dance:  When You Say Nothing At All - Allison Krauss
Cake Cutting:  Sugar Sugar - Archies
Bride & Father Dance:  I Loved Her First - Heartland
Groom & Mother Dance:  A Song For Mamma - Boyz II Men
Anniversary Dance:  Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley
Toss Bouquet Song:  Boys Boys Boys - Lady GaGa
Video Slide Show Songs:  Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper, Time Of Your Life - Greenday, It's Your Love - Tim McGraw

We took a few photos that we'd like to share with you.  (These are not Kathy Bunnell's photos)

Having an outdoor wedding ceremony in New England?

Exchanging vows outside in New England can be a challenge.  It could rain.  It could be too hot, too sunny or too humid.  The ground could be mud.  The noise from a nearby road or passing plane just might interrupt your ceremony.  Despite that, so many of our brides insist on getting married outside in New England.

You should always have a backup plan.    Arrange for an indoor area in case mother nature is not on your side.   If you are outside with more than 50 guests, you are going to need some kind of PA system or microphones so everyone can hear you exchange vows.    Talk with your officiate or DJ and secure the necessary equipment to properly amplify everyone’s voice who will be speaking during the ceremony.

Remember that wind is always an issue outside.  Anything that you put down will have to be weighted or tied down.  That includes your wedding aisle runner, wedding ceremony programs, and anything else that the wind might get hold of.

If it is a warm day, be sure to have ice water available for your guests – especially your elder guests.  Too many times we’ve seen elderly guests pass out in the sun at a ceremony.  Be proactive and keep guests out of the sun until the ceremony is just about to start.  Obviously, there should be at least enough chairs for your elderly guests to sit.

If it looks like it is going to rain, be sure to give your officiate the OK to shorten the ceremony as needed to ensure that you do not get caught out in the rain.  If you are having readers, be sure to coach them on the proper use of a microphone.  They should speak clearly and use their “outdoor voice” holding the microphone about 2-3 inches away from their mouth at all times.

Unity candles DO NOT WORK outside.  You can never keep them lit long enough for the ceremony.  Instead opt to use a “Sand Ceremony” or “Rock Ceremony” instead where you mix different colors of sand or pass out rock to your guests to give you wishes.

Here are some great photos of some of our recent outdoor ceremonies.

Would You Consider Having Your Wedding at a Retail Store?

What’s the latest trend in weddings? The “Retail Wedding” – where couples tie the knot at their favorite retail spot – everything from Home Depot to Taco Bell. It might sound like a novelty, but according to USA Today, many couples are forgoing a church or banquet hall for their special day. Why? Brides want their wedding to be different from everyone else’s, and instead of a themed-wedding with “Star Wars” or gothic costumes and decorations, the new trend is to choose a unique location for their nuptials.

Couples are also choosing to marry at stores for sentimental reasons. Maybe that’s where they met, or where they both worked. One bride in Michigan chose a T.J. Maxx because she’s a self-proclaimed “Maxxinista,” and the store has been a constant fixture in her life. The down economy is also playing into this retail wedding trend. People are trying to be resourceful and save money, maybe to buy a home or go on a honeymoon. A spokeswoman for Home Depot says they don’t charge to hold weddings in their stores. Any materials used during a ceremony – like buckets and plywood for pews – can easily be put back on the shelves.

It’s not just retail stores that are being used for a couple’s special day. Even with the smell of hot grease, fast-food restaurants have become marriage hotspots, too. McDonald’s, Burger King, White Castle and Dairy Queen have all recently hosted weddings, and because they’ll typically sell hundreds of dollars of burgers and drinks to wedding guests – and get loads of free publicity - they usually offer the space at no charge. So, if you’d like to have a unique wedding on the cheap, think about a local retail store or restaurant. Then you could ask the question: Would you like fries with that ring on your finger?

Sarah & Erica’s Wedding – Anthony’s Oceanview in New Haven

Sarah & Erica had chosen Anthony's Oceanview in New Haven because they wanted to be married on the beach.  The weather was sketchy.  It rained, then it stopped, then rained.  We moved the ceremony inside, then at last minute back outside and they were able to have their beach ceremony in the end.

Although Anthony's has this gorgeous outdoor cocktail area, we did keep cocktails inside to avoid any rain issues.  With about 50 guests, this party rocked.  The dance floor was busy the entire time all the way up until we ended at midnight.

We provided ceremony music, microphones, music for the social hour and dinner and dancing.

Ceremony Bridal Processional: Footprints In The Sand - Leona Lewis
Sarah's Processional:  Never Felt This Way - Alicia Keys
Sarah & Erica's Recessional:  Runaway - Corrs
Introduction Song:  Waiting For Tonight - Jennifer Lopez
Cake Cutting:  Sweetest Love - Robin Thicke
First Dance:  Butterflyz - Alicia Keys
