When I first met Leah and Adam, I knew their wedding was going to be special. Not only were these two clearly so in love (the best!) they also had a wonderful approach to planning their big day. They wanted it to have some unique touches and cared about the finished product, but they also didn't take anything too seriously and had fun along the way.

We picked Chateau for their late September wedding, and I could not have imagined a more perfect setting.

As guests arrived at the Chateau they were welcomed to the upper lawn for beautiful ceremony officiated by Annemarie Juhlian. A very enthusiastic groom, tears from the best man and the most excited family members all set the tone for the night ahead.

Following the ceremony guests moved around the pond where they were greeted with trays of cocktails, passed appetizers and my favorite part - a custom cheeseboard created by the Herban Feast team, before they headed into the tent for dinner.

An already magical tent was made even more beautiful by the talented Amy Ly of Gather Design Company (flowers) and Camille Robinson of Robinson Paperie (paper goods) who hand painted their menus! Dinner was served family style and accompanied by paired wines.

The night was capped off with toasts, dessert - an amazing cake (the Sweetside) plus homemade desserts from each of their moms, dancing (if you haven't spent time with DJ Ben Meadow you are missing out!) and time in the photo booth!

There were so many fun touches from start to finish - including scratch tickets for each guest, light up flower crowns and a balloon farewell - all captured by Stephen and Amanda Lloyd, as well as Green Attic Films (all three were amazing!).

I feel so lucky to have been a part of this special day, thank you Leah and Adam!

“Bridal Bliss did a great job pairing me with Molly because she totally understood my taste which made her SO helpful with vendors recommendations and giving advice on invitation designs, color pallets, floral arrangements, etc.! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! There are so many moving parts when planning a wedding, and Molly always manages to remain calm and makes you feel confident that everything will be perfect. ”
