Saturday was a gorgeous day for Tracy and Marc's wedding! The day started with everyone getting ready at Hotel Monaco. Philly Hair and Aleksandra Ambrozy came early to make everyone look picture perfect!

After fun photos, they made their way to The Down Town Club for the ceremony and reception. Diane from Journeys of the Heart, officiated the ceremony, while EBE Rio's band mates entertained guests with their beautiful music. Guests enjoyed the breathtaking views and the abundance of food during cocktail hour from the Cescaphe Event Group. Everyone then moved into the ballroom to enjoy dinner and music and dancing from EBE Rio. Centerpieces were created by Falls Flowers and included lush cream colored flowers.

Sophia and Nick's Wedding

Sophia and Nick both started their wedding day getting ready in separate suites in the Omni Hotel. Sophia and her bridesmaids were treated to hair by Tateum from Gloss Salon and makeup by Aleksandra Ambrozy. While the girls were getting ready they wore adorable robes before getting into their floor length gray dresses. Sophia's gown was stunning- it was all lace and had a beautiful open back. They had their reveal meeting in the park across the street from the hotel and after taking some pictures alone, their bridal party joined them and they ventured into the city for some pictures. When guests arrived to the church they were greeted by a beverage station and a table full of snacks before they headed into the church to witness the ceremony. Instead of having guests sit on the traditional bride and groom's side, they asked their guests to choose any seat! They exchanged their heartfelt vows and after being pronounced husband and wife, they headed off to their reception. Their yellow and gray wedding was chock full of great details! When decorated the front ponds with votives and a cute sign welcoming their guests. Stephen Starr Catering did an excellent job with the food displays in the cocktail hour area and created a delicious dinner menu, as well. The front desk was decorated with childhood picture boxes of the couple and we hung a picture of each of them as children on the bathroom doors. The escort card display was two vintage doors provided by Maggpie Vintage and had the escort cards hung with little clothespins! The bar menus were on chalkboard signs and featured the couple's Philadelphia themed signature drinks. Guests enjoyed their delicious meals and then headed to the dance floor for a night of fun! Chris from Synergetic had every guest out on the dance floor for the entire night and they partied until the very last second of the reception! At the end of the night, the couple jumped into their getaway car and drove off together- it was a perfect day from start to finish!
