Shirley & Rory - September 6, 2009

We knew this wedding was going to be special when we met Shirley & Rory. It presented a few challenges for us, but we were so enamoured by them that we went for it!

We met Shirley & Rory at The Grand Bridal Show in January, and really enjoyed our time with them. Their wedding and reception were held at Squantum Association in East Providence. A beautiful ceremony outside in the courtyard, followed by cocktails in the clubhouse. After introductions everyone went upstairs for dinner and desert. The dinner was exquisite, a full New England clambake served in several courses. The cake was designed by the groom, who is a chef!

Then, back downstairs for dancing! This small group of 65 danced the night away. We had such fun with both families, the following pictures say it all.
Photography was by Andre Blais.

Megan & Andrew - September 6, 2009

Sunday morning found us back at Quidnessett Country Club for the wedding of Megan & Andrew. We really enjoyed putting the music together with these two. They are upbeat, fun and easy going.

We provided music for their ceremony outside on the deck, and then the cocktail hour and reception inside in the Bay View Room. That's where we met the girls from Flowerthyme who were setting up an individual rose at each place setting (and made the centerpieces and bouquets, too). Family friend Debra Gagnon was the photographer.

We always give extra credit to guests who dance in the afternoon! This crowd was lots of fun! Our best to Megan & Andrew!

Jennie & Jay - September 5, 2009

Jennie & Jay's reception was held at Quidnessett Country Club on Saturday night of Labor Day weekend. Jennie's careful and creative planning of all the details really paid off - the room looked amazing! From the cake to the candy buffet, the pinks were all tied in. We provided pink uplighting around the room. Jay handled much of the music choices, and even cut the intro songs. Their introductions were choreographed, and each couple had their own dance! A club DJ from Connecticut, Jay also mixed a few songs for the crowd during the dance portion of the reception. It was really cool! They also put together an amazing video that was played during dinner. Quite a creative duo!

Our friends at Wedding Stories were there to capture everything on Video. And, we got to work with Jenny from Zenobia Studios, too. We had heard much about her gorgeous photos, can't wait to see the pics! Check out her blog, you'll be stalking it soon! The girls' bouquets were by Flower Thyme, but Jennie created the same flowers in silk for centerpieces. Great vendors, great couple, wonderful family and friends - a terrific night!

Incorporating colors of pink, black and white, Bernadette had a great vision for the room. Couture Bridal provided pink uplighting, chair covers and a gobo on the dance floor.
