Sam & Sam's September Wedding

On Friday, September 7, 2012, Samantha Slack became Mrs. Samuel Parsons. The couple had planned for an afternoon ceremony on the deck but because of a little rain shower, we moved the ceremony inside. Although this was not Sam and Sam's first choice, the ceremony still turned out beautiful and all of the guest were able to stay dry. Guest were asked to sit at their tables and we moved the arbor inside and put it in the arch window. Part of being in the wedding business is being able to adapt to unexpected situations. Success!

After the short wedding ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Parsons went to go take pictures with their bridal party and families. Jennifer Hook is a photographer and friend from New York and came down to NC to shoot Samantha's wedding. The rest of the guest stayed behind in The RiverRoom to enjoy some appetizers and drinks during cocktail hour. Wild Wing Cafe was the caterer and provided drop off service. They served barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, green beans, loaded potato salad and chicken skewers for dinner.

Thanks to Eric with DJ Professionals for providing awesome DJ and MC service for the evening. Samantha and Sam's first dance was "Heaven" by DJ Sammy. After dinner, Samantha danced with her father to "Then They Do" by Trace Adkins. Sam danced with his mother to "Through the Years" by Kenny Rogers.

Samantha did a great job with decorating The RiverRoom. Her colors were pink and black. The centerpieces were silk flowers with black marbles in a circular vase. The waterfall effect lights were set to bright pink and really went well with the overall color theme. They had seating for 62 guests, 10 four foot round tables with 6 people each and a sweetheart table. L&L Tent and Party Rentals provided linens, 2 extra round tables, a sweetheart table and 12 white resin chairs.

The Parsons' had a gorgeous pink and white wedding cake. A family friend designed the cake for the happy couple. The party favors were given out to guest at the end of the evening. They gifted a little case of breath mints to each guest.

CONGRATULATIONS to Sam and Sam! It was a pleasure getting to know you and hosting your big day! We wish you all the love and happiness in the world! Enjoy the honeymoon!
