Caitlin & Jack Close Out Our 2014 Wedding Season | Caitlin & Jack
Congratulations to Caitlin & Jack who, after 3 ½ years, were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, November 8th.
Mother Nature provided them with the peak of fall colors to enhance the beauty of this venue. Caitlin & Jack decided to hold their ceremony in front of Edgewood Estate, allowing the fountain, vineyard, and mountains to be their backdrop for guests to adore.
Inside the heated Sperry tent, guest cozied up for the evening and enjoyed some amazing food prepared by Richmond’s #1 caterer, Groovin Gourmets. Caitlin & Jack are foodies and it definitely showed by the menu they chose for their guests, including roasted lamb, Rockfish, braised pork chops & pumpkin sage ravioli. And if that didn’t fill you, a dessert bar followed with delicious sweet treats.
What I will remember most from this wedding is Jack’s never ending smile. I love the comment his Mother made of how all she could see when she looked at him was white from his white teeth shining so. Nothing could make us happier here at Keswick Vineyards than to see the happiness from our couples and I definitely could see that clearly from Caitlin & Jack.
Thank you and thanks to the following vendors who did a terrific job: Caterer: Groovin’ Gourmets, Photographer Alicia White, Flowers by Natalie, Pastry Chef Taylor’s Sweets, Officiant Joy Andreason of Whispers of Joy, DJ Ran Henry, Hair & Make-up by Sass Factory, Event Planner Taylor Verrel, Albemarle Limousine for buses, MS Events for rentals & Skyline Tent Company.

Katie & Roger's Brisk Wedding Day | Katie & Roger
Congratulations to Katie & Roger who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, November 1st.
Katie’s brother was the officiant and it was such a personal and touching ceremony; one of my favorites to date. You could just feel the heartfelt message being said by her brother. What a treat to be married by your brother.
Mother Nature provided a very windy and cold day for us but no rain! The dramatic sky created some very dramatic photos that their photographer took and I can’t wait to share. My favorite thing from this wedding, besides her brother doing the ceremony, was the “logo” they created with their first name initials and how they had it displayed throughout the reception. I really love the cork shadow box they did and the awesome photo of the two of them (see in my photos below).
I definitely knew before this reception started that we were in for a fun, dancing night and I was right! I must say I have been really impressed with the dancing ability of my recent grooms. Speaking of dancing, one more favorite part for me was when Katie and her Mother did a dance together to Footloose. What a special moment that was to see the two of them having so much fun on the dance floor together. I will remember that forever and I’m sure their guests will also.
Special thanks to the following vendors: Caterer Groovin’ Gourmets from Richmond, DJ Mark Allen, Seth Roberts Photography, Colonial Florist, Hair & Make-up by Ruby Devine, Officiant Brent Cochran, Ambassador Limousine for transportation, Videographer Stephanie Sciarrino, Event Planner Maureen Monterubio, Skyline Tent Company and rentals by MS Events.
A Beautiful Fall Wedding for Lauren & David! | Lauren & David
Lauren & David really hit the jackpot when it comes to weather. They had one of the most perfect fall days to be married outside to. On Saturday, October 25th, Lauren & David were married at Keswick Vineyards. The sun was out shining to keep everyone nice and warm while enjoying the spectacular fall colors in the vineyard and mountain side.
I love how they had their Yorkie dog in the ceremony. He was just adorable in his tuxedo! The wedding ceremony was extra special. Their officiant was very close friend of theirs that Lauren had asked to marry them even before she was ordained as a minister. Love the personal touch that adds to the ceremony.
After spending time out in the vineyard for photos, Lauren & David returned to the Sperry tent for their reception and enjoyed some amazing food by BBQ Exchange. The short ribs were out of this world! DJ John Garland kept the party going while guests danced the night away.
Thanks to the following vendors for doing such an amazing job: Caterer Exchange Events, DJ John Garland, Photographer Jen Fariello, Videographer Paul Hairston, Flowers by Hedge Florist, Pastry Chef Ashley from Charlottesville Cupcakes, Event Planner Angela Parker, Hair & Make-up by Amanda of Lou Stevens Glam Squad, Officiant Leslie Scanlon, Transportation by Albemarle Limousine, Rentals by MS Events & Skyline Tent Company.
Virginia & Patrick's Non-Stop Dancing Wedding | Virginia & Patrick
What a fairy tale wedding Virginia & Patrick had on Saturday, October 18th.
Ginny spent her morning getting ready at Keswick Vineyards for her off site church ceremony. She and her bridesmaids were swept away in a super stretch Hummer limousine and a vintage car. Ginny in her princess style wedding dress matched perfectly with that vintage car. It really was a fairytale as she left to meet her Prince Charming at the church. When they came back, they were husband and wife and were ready to party with their guests.
Virginia and Patrick chose the front of Edgewood Estate as the location for their cocktail hour. Guests enjoyed themselves as they mingled with one another while enjoying the beautiful fall view of the mountains and vineyard. Guests quickly warmed up once inside the heated Sperry tent that was decorated with hanging bistro lights through out the tent. C&O catering did an outstanding job keeping everything on schedule and serving such delicious meals.
Once dinner was over, this group was up on the dance floor and didn’t come off for 3 hours! There was just non-stop dancing for this wedding and what a fun night it was for everyone!
Special thanks to the following vendors for doing such an awesome job: Keswick Vineyards as the Event Planner, Catering by C&O, DJ Greg Tutwiler, Photographer Elisa & Edward Bricker, Videographer Brad & Paul from Shaking Hands Productions, Florist Janie Medley, Hair & Make-up by Chelsi Woodson, Wedding Cake by Kathy Watkins of Favorite Cakes, rentals by MS Events & Skyline Tent Company and Albemarle Limousine for transportation.
