We’re excited to see so many couples add unique and varied entertainment options to their wedding! A continually growing (and fun!) trend, in addition to having a band or hiring a DJ to provide music and emcee services, a second or even third artist or group of artists are booked for the wedding event. Or a surprise performance is arranged to wow guests during the cocktail hour or reception, often performed by a friend in the wedding party or even by the bride or groom. We

Seeing your spouse-to-be before the start of the ceremony was once considered taboo, thought of as bad luck or just simply wrong. But over the last few decades, more and more couples are choosing to ignore the old beliefs, and meet up before the ceremony to see each other in their fancy wedding garb. Each year, the this trend gets bigger... and we love it! It almost seems now that the first look before the walk down the aisle is becoming the tradition, the new wedding norm

One of the many beautiful themes couples are choosing for their wedding events again this year is the English Garden theme. Especially popular at outdoor events, nothing says romance and whimsy more than an iconic English Garden. But this dreamy and romantic theme can always be recreated indoors, too! And best of all, there’s really one main ingredient… one important key to creating an English Garden of your own… lots and lots of flowers, of course! The basic design princi

Our pets have always held such meaningful places in our hearts. And if you’re a dog lover, you know just how important these furry friends are in every part of our lives. You’ve probably noticed too that it’s becoming increasingly acceptable for dogs to join in at more public places and special events, including weddings. In fact, bringing your dog to your wedding (especially if you have a cute outfit picked out) is definitely trending for today's weddings. So if you want

Genna and Scott met like so many, on an online dating app! It really is one of the best ways to find and connect with someone who shares so many of the same ideas, values and loves as you. And we discovered that Genna and Scott found a love of hiking in common, an interest that played a big role in Scott’s proposal. And we loved Scott’s surprise proposal to Genna! Scott was away in Kodiak, Alaska and Genna flew there to meet him. On day three of their adventure, they hike

It was the Fourth of July holiday weekend when Paulina and Adam tied the knot, another wonderful reason to celebrate! The weather was a little cooler, but the skies stayed mostly clear and their wedding day was absolutely perfect! Paulina got ready for the day at her family home in New Jersey, while Adam got dressed with his groomsmen at a nearby hotel. Paulina’s mother helped her button up her gown and fasten her veil for this special day. Her lovely wedding dress had a f

We were thrilled that we were available for this wedding day when Kimber’s mother, Kerry sent us an inquiry through our website! It was so wonderful to speak with the two of them as they discussed their plans with excitement, and we couldn’t have been happier that they chose The Ashford Estate for their entire day’s events! Kimber and Rob met each other as freshmen in high school and knew by the time that they moved into their first apartment five years ago that they were go

From our first conversation over the phone with Larissa, we knew we were going to be in for a treat on their wedding day and as the months passed by, were almost just as excited for the day to finally arrive as they were! Their wedding day was full of special and secret performances, personalized touches, unique traditions and amazing talent! Plus, they’re such a down to earth, easy-going couple (which was very much evident from the moment we first spoke). Larissa and Bill

Jessica and Brian believe in doing things big! Their families, which truly are of the utmost importance to them, are large in number as well. So to include all their siblings, their wedding party was absolutely huge. Even included in the event were their six precious dogs who had their moments in the spotlight as each walked down the aisle! Jessica and Brian were married at the wonderful Ashford Estate. Even though we’ve filmed here many times, for each wedding, the décor
