Leigh & Jared's Wedding

Leigh & Jared during their first dance.

This week we are heading to State College, well Houserville if you want to get technical for the Wedding Ceremony and Reception of Leigh And Jared at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center. 

There had been a threat of rain early in the week, but the forecast changed to sunny skies and what turned out to be very hot and humid. (Mother Nature still playing games in Central PA for some reason, weeks before we had close to 14 inches of rain in 3 days) Because of the heat the ceremony was sped up to get guests out of the sun and into the barn for shade. Ceremony started at 2PM with Leigh walking down the aisle to "Here Comes The Bride". Once the officiant presented the Bride and Groom as Mr & Mrs Taylor, Jared and Leigh walked back up the aisle to "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" by James Taylor.

A family friend who was shooting the wedding took the bride, groom, bridal party, and family for pics while guests were invited to the barn for snacks and drinks provided by Nittany Catering. 

When the bridal returned we brought them inside for the grand entrance. Leigh and Jared took to the dance floor right away for their first dance as husband and wife with "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith. This was followed by the father/daughter and mother/son dances before dinner provided also by Nittany Catering. 

After dinner we played the Mr & Mrs Game, only to learn this couple knew a good about each other, and a competition during the dollar dance with Leigh winning but only with a slight edge. When the end of the night rolled around Leigh and Jared danced to "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton and we wrapped up the night with "Kiss" by Prince.

Congratulations again to Mr & Mrs Taylor!

Venue Spotlight April 28, 2019

Next week begins the full brunt of wedding season and each week we are going to spotlight the venues we visit. So if you are planning a wedding or event, keep your eyes on our blog page. On the off weekends this wedding season we will continue to spotlight some of the places we visited last year. With that said, this week let's head right down the road from us to Harmony Forge in Bellefonte, PA. We were here for 2 weddings last year. In August we helped Todd and Paige get married and in October we were here for Nicole & Christopher's Wedding.  How about a little history! The Harmony Forge property dates back to the 1790s. It is the site of the Harmony Forge/Milesburg Iron Works that was built after the Revolutionary War. There is no definitive date to when the mansion was built, but can be dated to somewhere between 1796 and 1820.  The iron works no longer exist but the mansion does, and the property has seen many different reincarnations over the year,
