I was happy to meet Cherie at Wedding Week Virginia at the beginning of the year. She had her location selected and was ready to jump in to all the other details. With her “very involved as he could be” fiancé overseas, she did a great job keeping up with the details while attending school full time and working. During the entire wedding planning, she was so sweet and dear to everyone and me.
Cherie and Cale’s ceremony was at First Baptist of Virginia Beach, it was decorated with touches of starfish and beach accents. After the loving couple married, they ran through a toss of lavender outside.
The reception followed at the Sheraton Oceanfront. The room was decorated with lots of hand-done beach décor; everything was so beautiful, you would have thought they were store purchased. The kids had a fun treasure chest table with goody bags and lots of fun activities. The “big” kids had many fun activities as well, as they danced all evening.
I will miss Cherie and Cale’s open hearts and love for each other.
Looking forward to sharing details and pictures from Sam Hughes Photography!

Tiffinie and Shawn September 4, 2010
Tiffinie and Shawn had a large wedding party of 26! The wedding party was so wonderful to work with; for 26 men and women they were all on time, helpful, nice and ready to do whatever it took to make it a wonderful day! Tiffinie’s bridesmaids danced down the aisle as the men greeted them with their flowers and escorted them to their places. The ceremony was beautiful as her children gave her hand to Shawn.
Following the ceremony was a fun filled evening at the Filipino Cultural Center. Shawn had surprised Tiffinie during the garter removal; he and a few of his groomsmen danced and sang “There Goes My Baby” by Usher. Tiffinie and all her ladies had some surprises too as they soon changed into their dance clothes and performed a few dances of their own.

Nina and Antoine August 14th
Nina and her mother interviewed me sometime in 2009; over seven months later, I received the exciting phone call that they wanted me to help plan Nina’s wedding. I was very thrilled to be a part of this special day. With the wedding only eight months away, we got things moving quickly.
The warmth of the sun shining through the 30-feet glass windows greeted guests as they walked in to the Rotunda at the Half Moone in Norfolk for the ceremony. Nina was not only given away by her parents, but by her one and a half year old daughter as well. Their daughter was by their side as they exchanged marriage vows.
Soon, the wall to the reception opened and guests walked into a stunning room filled with tall centerpieces, candles, a chocolate fountain, a grand wedding cake, a violinist, and so much more. It did not take guests long to get on the dance floor.
Thank you MC Photography.

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!
