Amanda & Brandon's Wedding


This week we travel to southern PA for the Wedding Ceremony and Reception of Amanda & Brandon at DuCar Farms in Chambersburg. 

The weather has been crazy in Central PA this summer so far. If it is not raining, it is crazy hot and this week is no exception as temperatures are pushing the upper 90s. 

The reception will be in the barn and the ceremony will take place at the gazebo in front of the main house. At 3:45pm the groom and groomsmen take their places and the bridal procession starts down the aisle. Amanda then makes her way around from the back of the house and down the stairs to the sounds of The Piano Guys covering "Perfect" from Ed Sheeran. 

When the officiant presents the new Mr & Mrs. Gricks, the newlyweds head back up the aisle to the sounds of The Piano Guys covering "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Once the bridal party has made it back up the aisle, guests are invited to enjoy cocktails from Catered Cocktails downstairs while Yasha takes the bridal party and family for pictures.

When the bridal party returns we do the grand entrance, blessing, and toasts and enjoy a wonderful meal from Mission BBQ. After the cake cutting Amanda & Brandon take the floor for their first dance as Husband & Wife in front of friends and family, to "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by Sleep At Last. 

Once the father/daughter and mother/son dances are completed the dance floor opens for the rest of the night until the Bride and Groom take to the floor one last time to dance to "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King and we send everyone home to Lone Bellow's "May You Be Well".

Congratulations again to Mr & Mrs Gricks!

Angela & Mike's Wedding

Angela & Mike's First Dance Today we are heading to a new wedding venue, at a historic location. Today's wedding is at Penn's Cave! We will be christening the new enclosed pavilion with it's first wedding. The Wedding of Angela and Mike. With every new venue there are bound to be some hiccups along the way and one of the big ones was a date mix-up, forcing the couple to move the wedding to the weekend before they had actually invited everyone to. Still with the power of social media they were able to pull it off. Angela had contacted me via Facebook about her wedding and said she loved what we had to offer but she wasn't sure she could swing the investment. I explained like I always do why the prices are what they are (look for a blog on that later) and told her I would work with her on a budget. We finally were able to agree on a price that worked for both of us. Then came the planning. Angela had a love/hate relationship with our online planning

Lock Haven Boy Scout Troop Holiday Party

Tonight DJ Gigi was helping us out by picking up an event for us in Lock Haven. Stef who is a leader with the Boy Scouts and friends with AJ had contacted us about DJing the party. We weren't available to do it, but after reaching out to DJ Gigi she agreed to do it for us. We are thankful that she was able to pull it off for us and all had a wonderful time.
