We could not have asked for a more perfect way to jump into not only a new year, but a new decade! Brooke & Brock’s wedding was a fairytale in January, and our first wedding at Loriana! And let me just tell you, this venue is AMAZING. It’s got a medieval style castle with a high-ceiling ballroom, beautiful outdoor patios, a stunning ceremony arbor, and endless sunset photo backdrops! One of my favorite aspects of Loriana is the ability to make the venue work for you! There are multiple options for ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, etc., so you can really tailor the property to fit your vision. Working at Loriana really was a dream!
With a guest count of 240, every single vendor was at the top of their game. Field to Table set each place setting perfectly and served an absolutely divine dinner (and set up the late night Taco Bell snack beautifully)! Jenny of Cake Cathedral delivered an elegant two-layered cutting cake and The Churro Cart kept the guests happy for hours. DJ Griffin, a new vendor for AHE, was a fabulous emcee and kept that dance floor full the entire night! And Carly Martin documented each moment flawlessly.
Brooke & Brock are truly a match made in heaven. Their vows were heartfelt, the toasts brought tears to everyone’s (and I mean everyone’s) eyes, and their first dance was one of our personal favorite love songs. And as if that wasn’t enough, when the newlyweds shotgunned a beer with their best friends during the reception, they finished within one-second of each other! If that’s not love, I don’t know what is!
Happy 2020, everybody! We’re even more excited for this wedding season, now that we’ve kicked it off with such a perfect day.
