That's Amore! | Arnita & Matthieu

Love was definitely in the air for these two coming all the way from France to have their Virginia vineyard wedding at Keswick Vineyards on July 7th, 2017.  Arnita has to be my most energized bride I have ever had.  She was so much fun to work with!  As you can see, from the beginning of her wedding day with her bridesmaids, having a good time was what it was all about.

How cute was their first look?  It played out like Romeo and Juliet!  Matthieu was up on a balcony to turn to see his beautiful bride below.  How creative was that?  Speaking of being creative, Arnita refurbished her mother’s veil into her wedding gown.  I just love when couples are able to do things like that.  I think Arnita’s Mom had just as much fun at her daughter's wedding as Arnita did.  She just had to get in every photo.  It was evident how close of a relationship these two share.

Again, you can see from the photos how excited Matthieu and Arnita were when they exited their ceremony.  They were definitely “gettin' down”!  Their entire wedding was like that from start to finish.  Just tons of happiness, joy and celebration!

Of course, when you live in France, who better to have cater your wedding than l’étoile Catering. Their service and flavor of food was top notch.  I look forward to having them back

#FerissaForever | Larissa & Fern

9 years together and a year and a half of planning lead us to Larissa and Fern’s wedding on Saturday, May 27th. This couple was full of life, full of joy, and most importantly full of love. Throughout the planning process the couple and Keswick continued to develop a closer relationship. They’re the type of people whose energy is contagious, so it’s hard not to fall in love with them! They radiated even more of this energy on their wedding day and we were so thankful to have celebrated with them!

Celebration was certainly the right word for them. This group was ready from the moment they stepped onto the property and the fun continued well into the night! The vineyard was the focus of their ceremony and it could not have been any more perfect. In true “Fern fashion” he decided to set the tone off right and lead him and his groomsmen down the aisle for a grand entrance! The music was changed, the guys were signaled, and they strut down that aisle and made quite the impression!

There were more surprises throughout the night. This group was full of them. After a beautiful cocktail hour, they were ready for reception. Dinner was served. Guests ate and were merry. But, what’s a party without an opening act? When the couple was ready for their first dance they took their places on the dance floor. They started with their traditional slow first dance song and midway switched into what quickly became the theme song of the night… Despecito! Fern and Larissa surprised the crowd with a choreographed dance to everyone’s favorite song. They ended with Fern spinning her around for one final twirl and then they invited everyone on the dance floor to continue the fun!

Sweet Frog made an appearance at the end of the night with their soft serve frozen yogurt truck and left our #ferissaforever party on the sweetest note.

Thank you to our amazing team who helped pull off yet another spectacular event!
