Friday in Philly swept us up in an experience of r Friday in Philly swept us up in an experience of revelry that was, to quote a guest, "like in a movie". It was a high energy with deep emotion. Guests who danced with wild abandon between every dinner course also teared up during toasts. It was old soul vibes on the mansion grounds with hand-written notes to each guest set on silver platters on an old dining room table. It was family photos set on the antique piano and fireplace mantles, dating back to the great great uncle who escorted the liberty bell around the country, the uncle who rocked drums in a 70's band and up to recent family weddings we've been part of. The design had moments of grandeur in jewel-tone floral, flickering candles and ornate chargers. It had sexy glassware, silky napkins and emerald velvet linens. Black satin wrapped the stems of a burgundy rose bouquet. "Mad Men" vibes in the mansion. A scotch bar in the wine cellar. Bonfires on the patio. Philly cheesesteaks for the after-party shuttle ride. Classy style with spunky spirit. I am convinced that some of the most treasured moments in life happen on wedding days. Music, food and fancy things set the tone and engage the senses but the kind of revelry that sweeps us away like a Friday night in Philly happens when the people show up. L&M led with their exquisite thoughtfulness. Parents hosted with style and so much heart. Guests cheered for every person who walked down the aisle, every toast given (even the ones that made them cry), every time Uncle Charlie drummed with the band, every chance they got for the newlyweds. To be SO loved and supported is a gift. To be a guest among such guests is a gift. Also a gift to work with these talented passionate pros: Venue, catering, bar: Knowlton Mansion with @conroycatering Photos coming soon from @hofferphotography Video: @montage_media_films Floral: @love_in_flower (Aunt Lisa) Band: @ctomusicartists Rentals: @partyrentalltd More rentals: @tctentedevents @fieldofflowersnorth Phone guestbook: @afterthetone.co Cake: @bredenbecks Officiant: Father Anthony Hair & Makeup: @upyourdo and Katie (cousin) Shuttle: @charterup
I left for Philly in the pre-dawn hours this morni I left for Philly in the pre-dawn hours this morning. A quiet symphony of raindrops and falling leaves filled the air as I added my suitcase to the truckload of candlesticks, Tasty Kakes, bronze flower urns and silver platters. Mary Ann has the road trip snacks and I'll pick her up en route outside of Detroit. Wendy catches the red-eye in from Denver tonight to round out the j+l team. We're excited to celebrate L&M on an historic mansion estate, excited to celebrate a third wedding with this fun family, excited every time kind clients bring us beyond the borders of Michigan for romantic soirees. Reminiscing on fun times we've had is some of the best road trip fuel.

Thoughtfulness, laughter and love were the main fe Thoughtfulness, laughter and love were the main feelings in this beautiful weekend’s celebration and what a wonderful culmination of those three feelings that were shared for M+M, and they were definitely giving back just as much love and gratitude. • October weddings can sometimes have unpredictable weather and chilly temperatures that bring out the warm layers and keep things inside. This weekend was an epic display of warmth not only in our forecast but also in the love that was shown for M+M. A beautiful ceremony on the deck overlooking the river and hearing Van Morrison played by @clintweaner as M+M walked arm in arm into their ceremony through guests surrounding them in happy tears and so much love. • Natural tones with pops of color embellished @themillglenarbor from @indiegrowflower and candles and oil lamps set the mood for a late dinner. Guests found their seats with handwritten thank you notes from the bride and groom and more happy tears were shared as we regaled in speeches from their loved ones sharing stories and memories of their love story. • The night was capped off by guests dancing while enjoying desserts and drinks then moved to a bonfire for those that couldn’t say goodbye yet. Such a wonderful evening and so much love shared. I’m anxious to see @jillianbowes photos and relive the whole weekend all over again. Cheers to M+M for giving us a chance to share in your next adventure as husband and wife 🤍 • Wonderful vendors tagged | Recap by Em

It's the way that arched suncatcher captured the O It's the way that arched suncatcher captured the October light over N&P while they exchanged vows. It's the way the whole seated crowd erupted in cheers when P led his groomsmen down the aisle and the way they stood and blinked away tears when N walked in on the arm of her father. There was such a fullness of emotion and warmth of spirit in the whole weekend of events. I credit this whole-hearted experience in part to the Italians - they are known for deep feelings and authentic expressiveness. I credit the wild enthusiasm also to a dedicated circle of friends who had traveled from Chicago and beyond with a clear resolve to celebrate with abandon. I credit the spirit of overwhelming joy to N&P. They were so intentionally present in the moments of the weekend, taking in all of the emotions, thoughtfully as aware of their guests' experience as they were of their own. They were, in fact, like the suncatchers on their dinner tables, capturing and casting the glow of light in remarkable fashion. The weekend was designed to be an experience - rehearsal lunch, a winery excursion and a welcome party on Friday. A brunch overlooking the bay on floor 17 on Sunday. And in between, the beauty of Old Mission Peninsula, an abstract painting station and fall flavored libations for cocktail hour, an espresso cart with the donuts for dessert, a s'mores bar by the fireplace lounge, exquisite dinner and a high energy dance floor to close out the night. It was experiential by design but the way N&P and their people experienced it so fully is the part that exceeded our design and the part that will stick with me every time I see the photos and catch the glow of a suncatcher.
