Mark and Laureen first fell in love with
The RiverRoom when they attended our
last fake wedding in June 2014. Months later, they fell in love with it all over again on their wedding day, November 28th, 2014!
After attending the wedding ceremony across the river at Wilmington's infamous Battleship, the guests arrived at The RiverRoom via charter boats. The bride and groom had a sparkler entrance awaiting! The room was set up with dinner tables for all 80 guests and cocktail tables around the bar area. The room looked beautiful with a rustic but elegant color scheme. Laureen chose navy linens with alternating gold and burnt orange runners. In the bar area, accompanying the cocktail tables was a loveseat and sofa to make the area feel very comfortable. The linens along with the gold chiavari chairs and furniture were all provided by
ETC Party Rentals.
The centerpieces for the larger, round tables included extravagant tiger lilies were designed by the bride. To go along with the rustic theme, these lilies were also orange and yellow. Being much larger than the average centerpiece, these lilies definitely made a statement at the reception!
Middle of The Island did a fabulous job of providing dinner for all of the guests. Before the buffet style dinner, guests mingled and enjoyed appetizers and drinks. For dinner, there were 6 food stations set up for the guests to visit and servers floating around from Middle of The Island to be available if needed. Stations will continue to be a big wedding trend in 2015. The bar offered 2 signature drinks, a selection of beer and even some wine for everyone to enjoy. Mark & his artistic children designed the bar the morning of the wedding. I love the way it all turned out!
As usual,
One Belle Bakery made a delicious cake for Laureen and Mark to share on their special day. The 3 tiered cake included a square base and 2 circular layers with navy and gold accents. To top it all off, "LOVE" rested on the top most layer as the center focal point. Very simple but unique!
There was a DJ from
DJ Professionals and Video at the reception to make sure the event ran smoothly as the master of ceremony and did a great job getting everyone on the dance floor for some very special dances. Edison Lights were hung and provided by
The Audio Visual People to keep the rustic vibe throughout the evening. The couple hired a local photographer from
Billy Beach Photography to get some shots of their reception later on in the night.
We enjoyed hosting your wedding reception here at The RiverRoom, Laureen and Mark! We wish you many years of happiness.
Nice post!
