It's A Small World

When Marjory and Duncan came to tour Keswick Vineyards as a possible wedding venue, they had no idea how small of a world it is. It just so happens that the grooms mother grew up on the same island in Michigan that I did. Not only were we from the same island, but the mother was a classmate of my sister, and I was a classmate too of a younger sibling & his wife. So, you can imagine when their wedding day came, how excited I was to see some of my fellow “islanders”!

Marjory & Duncan’s wedding day started out as an extremely hot & humid day. The temperature was topping off at 96 degrees with lots of humidity. In preparation for this hot weather, the family had rented some additional cooling fans for the tent and supplied some cool packs for guests to use if needed. What no one was expecting was this cold front that was coming to come late afternoon to cool everything off. We went from 96 degrees to 80 within 45 minutes! Of course, that did mean some rain, but I think everyone would agree that having the ceremony under the tent, regardless of the weather, was a good choice to keep everyone a little more comfortable. And as you can see by the smile and happiness on our bride’s face, I think she was still thrilled with her ceremony and the rain was gone before anyone really knew it was there.

I really like the head table and how they had it set up. Having a long head table with candles and florals is one of my favorite looks. To dress it up a little bit more they added a little couch for them to sit on. They also created a little “living room” space under the tent for guests to relax in. And another favorite they did is having guests sign a matt border that surrounds a special photo.

Finishing off the night, the men really enjoyed their cigars! What a way to close out such a memorable, reunion kind of wedding day. Congratulations to Marjory & Duncan and thanks for letting Keswick Vineyards be such an important part of your lives. Please come back to visit!
