Audra and Josh's Autumn Wedding Reception

Audra and Josh celebrated their Wedding Day on Friday October 18th, 2013. After they exchanged vows at the courthouse, they joined their 50 closest family and friends together to celebrate here at The RiverRoom! The Bride and Groom made their grand entrance around 6pm, and guests socialized with them during the cocktail hour.

 Etc. Party Rentals provided lovely burlap overlays for the guest's tables, while Moxie Floral Design Studio furnished beautiful flower and lantern centerpieces to top them all off. 

Soon after, guests enjoyed heavy appetizers provided by A Thyme Savor! 

Guests were able to snap pictures throughout the evening with the photo booth, which was provided by Time 2 Remember Portrait Artists. They could even add their pictures to Audra and Josh's guest book, so that the couple could later reminisce about their wonderful wedding day. 1201 Photography was hired as their wedding photographer too!

Soon after appetizers, the Bride and Groom had their first dance with each other. They danced to "What Am I Gonna Do" by Tyrese. After, the Bride danced with her Father to "I Loved You First" by Heartland. and of course, the Groom danced with his Mother to "A Song For You" by Boyz II Men.

Later, Audra and Josh then cut the cake- a simple yet elegant three-tiered masterpiece designed by The Bakeress!

By the way ladies, Audra does beautiful hairstyles and updos for your big day at Stylist Hair Studio! 

Check her out for your bridal hair!

We're so happy for Audra and Josh! Congratulations to you both! We wish you an eternity of love and happiness! 


Review from Audra:

“What can I say?!?! Melissa made my dreams come to life! From the beginning, planning our wedding reception here was an absolute breeze. The location, price, beautiful space and flexibility of the staff made The RiverRoom a front runner on our vendor list. What other venue in downtown lets you stock your own bar and staff it, FREE of any extra charges? None! I can absolutely guarantee that Melissa Mendoza is the best on site coordinator you will find in Wilmington, NC. She even added a few extra touches that she knew were part of my dream but not part of my budget. My wedding could not have been more perfect thanks to all her help. The RiverRoom is the best!!!”
