Celebrate in Style // Choosing the Perfect Reception Venue

When it comes to planning your wedding event, your reception venue may just have the biggest influence on your whole day.  It’s almost always the largest expense in a wedding event and leaves the biggest impression on the couple and their guests.  Of course, its significance is even greater for the growing number of couples choosing to have their ceremony and reception at the same site.  And if you’ve chosen to hold your ceremony and reception at separate locations, even though it’s the final portion of your event, your reception truly sets the tone for your entire wedding.

No Work and All Play… // Groom Prep on the Wedding Morning

We love, love, love filming groom prep!  Every time we have the opportunity to film the groom and his groomsmen getting ready for the big day, it amounts to a lot of laughter and a ton of fun for everyone!  The guys are lucky because they usually have more time than the bride and her party to kick back and relax on the wedding day before the ceremony, photo sessions and festivities begin. (Nevertheless, we’re glad most brides make a little time to include a stress-reducer too!)

“Eco-friendly” is usually not the first thought that springs to mind when one considers a wedding event.  But along with finding all the trimmings for the most beautiful and most fun wedding day ever, many engaged couples make designing a green wedding event a top priority too.  With so many earth-friendly products on the market today, and more and more planners, venues and vendors ready and willing to pitch in with environmentally conscious ideas and services, and it’s really easier than ever to create a more sustainable, green wedding.

Serendipity // Lisa + Dan

This was a day we simply couldn’t wait for!  Lisa, a fantastic filmmaker, and her sweet fiancé, Dan (known to his friends as Fim), were getting married!  Lisa worked with us here at Cord 3 Films for several years but left to pursue her other love (caring for horses) and we miss her so very much.  But we were thrilled to get to be a part of capturing her wedding day, a day that was so perfectly ‘Lisa and Dan’!

Lisa and Dan actually went to the same high school but they never spoke.  Four or five years after graduation, they ran into each other at a Thanksgiving Eve party and Dan, maybe a little nervous, anxiously talked to Lisa for a very long time about his passion, baseball.  Something sparked for both… and the following summer, the two started spending lots of time together and became an item.  We all knew Lisa and Dan would be getting engaged soon and when she came home from working in Florida last February, Dan proposed at a delayed holiday party with all their close friends and family there to celebrate with them!

The weather was perfect on their October wedding day, and everything from morning preparations to the reception took place at the beautiful Eagle Manor in Fairfield Township, New Jersey.  The whole event had a laid back atmosphere that really focused on friends, family and fun!  That morning, Dan and much of the wedding party had a blast shooting sporting clays by the river before getting dressed and ready for the day.

Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Lisa put on her amazing wedding gown with help from her mother.  Always beautiful, she wore a sleeveless, v-neck gown with a gorgeous lace overlay and lovely lace straps from Essense of Australia.  Her dress featured a fit and flare silhouette and an open-back design that included illusion tulle for a peek a boo effect.  It was perfect, with a subtle bohemian vibe so fitting for Lisa.  She was so absolutely stunning!

Dan and his groomsmen looked very dapper wearing tan suits with rust-orange ties (Dan’s in a darker copper-brown color to stand apart) that matched the beautiful bridesmaids’ long gowns.  Everyone simply loved the unique, rust-orange color of their dresses!  And in their arms, they carried such beautiful white floral bouquets with greenery in a soft sage from Anton’s Florist.

Before their ceremony was set to begin, Lisa and Dan met up outside in the fields by the river for a first look.  It was so sweet to watch their reactions as they saw each other for the first time that day… and kissed and hugged.  And then, it was the perfect time for their photo sessions.  They all had so much fun posing for photos for Petal & Glass Photography, and it was wonderful to work with their team on this special day as well.  Lisa’s horse, also named Dan, visited for photos and Lisa and Dan’s cute little dog, Miles, even got in on the action!  At the end of the photo session, Lisa and Dan presented Dan’s sister with one of two necklaces made from their late late father’s wedding ring, Dan wearing the other one, which brought tears to everyone’s eyes.  It was such a thoughtful gift and a sweet moment.  Be sure to check out this moment and more amazing photos from the day on Petal & Glass’ blog!

Lisa and Dan’s ceremony was held outside overlooking the river, and the rustic décor, including a branch podium, wooden arch draped with gauzy white fabric and flowers and living plants wrapped in burlap flanking the aisle, was spot on for their ‘country in the fall’ feeling wedding event.  Their ceremony had moments that made us cry and moments that made us chuckle too!  Dan’s best man did a wonderful job serving as the officiant for their marriage ceremony. Lisa and Dan recited their vows, exchanged rings and became husband and wife.

Then, it was time to celebrate at the reception!  For this event, the interior of the historic dairy barn at Eagle Manor was decorated with white fabric encircling the posts, rust-orange linens and green garland draping across the long farm tables and market string lights suspended down along the rustic, exposed beam ceiling.  It was so cozy and so perfect.

Lisa and Dan entered the reception room and danced their first beautiful dance as their friends and family looked on.  We heard toasts from Dan’s best man, Matt, and Lisa’s maid of honor, Krista, that were filled with both touching and super funny moments! We laughed so hard when Krista let everyone know that she was party responsible for Lisa and Dan’s relationship and how Dan’s best man described his dedication during baseball competitions!  Center Stage Entertainment kept everyone out on that dance floor all evening long… And it truly was such a fun party!

This was such a joyous day for all of us at Cord 3 Films as we watched Lisa marry the love of her life.  We were so blessed to be a part of their wedding day to film and simply to celebrate with them and with their friends and family.  We know Lisa and Dan will be happy together forever and we wish them all the love and joy in the world!  Congratulations!
