Megan and Mike's Wedding in Yorktown June 19, 2010












Megan and Mike came to me about nine months ago with a dream and a budget. After visiting several other coordinators who had told them their dream would not be within budget, I knew I could help make their dream come true!

Megan’s dream was to get married in the backyard of the home she had grown up in. Little did I know how beautiful her home was, complete with a red barn, over looking the water and enough land to do whatever you would want on. Her parents were nervous to see if this could be done within budget and the amount of work it would take to have the wedding in their backyard. I assured them that on the weekend of the wedding they would be enjoying family, getting nails done, and having a great time. I kept my promise in making sure everyone enjoyed the weekend and wedding.

This wedding was so much fun for me. Megan was open to any ideas I had and trusted me to know I would make her vision a reality. Megan and Mike enjoyed seeing how each detail came together piece by piece; from the tent going up to chairs for the ceremony, tables, linens, and all of the fun details around the yard.

As the guests pulled into the long gravel driveway, parking directors helped to make sure parking for 200 was organized. The guests passed a large white tent as they walked or were escorted by golf cart to the back of the house for the ceremony. After the ceremony, guests walked through a garden to the cocktail hour located on the other side of the home. Soon after, the guests walked to the tent to enjoy a fun night of eating and dancing!

As the night grew dark the grounds lit up with lights all around the yard, complete with fire torches to light the path back to the guests’ cars.

Megan, Mike, and their families were wonderful to work with. I will miss them dearly. I know her father could not have been happier to know we all helped make his daughter’s dream come true!
