Nicole & Christopher's Wedding

Nicole & Christopher On The Dance Floor

Today we are once again headed over the hill to Harmony Forge Inn in Bellefonte. Today is the wedding Ceremony & Reception of Christopher and Nicole, and once again Mother Nature has other plans.

Nicole wanted to get married in front of the main house, but the weather was calling for, yep you guessed it, rain! They mad the call to move the ceremony into the barn. Turns out though the forecast was wrong and the sun actually shined all the way through the ceremony, minus the 30 second shower that happened just before the ceremony from an invisible cloud.

We did not need to provide cocktail music for this wedding as we were treated to some very lovely music from some live string musicians. When Jana from Jana Scott Photography returned with the bridal party, we did the Grand Entrance.

Before dinner and toasts Nicole & Christopher wanted to thank everyone for coming to their destination wedding (just kidding). Turns out that these two met while attending Penn State. Neither are from the area, but found Harmony Forge when they were canoeing down Spring Creek one afternoon and decided that was the place they wanted to get married.

Dinner and drinks were served and provided by Nittany Catering. Things were a little different on this wedding because neither the bride or groom were big fans of cake. So we went a little different and had a pie cutting instead of cake cutting. This was followed by Nicole and Christopher and their first dance to "If Not For You" by Bob Dylan. Followed by the Father/Daughter Dance and the Mother/Son Dances.

At this time we open the dance floor and listen to the rain hit the window behind us. The plan was for Fireside S'mores and a motorcycle send off, both of which were cancelled because of the rain. Nicole & Christopher invited friends and family to join them in one final dance to "More Of You" by Chris Stapleton before we closed out the night with "Closing Time" by Semisonic.

Congratulations Again Mr & Mrs Strock!

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,
