June 24, 2017 dawned a lovely early summer day, with clear blue skies and a soft breeze. That morning is branded in my mind with all the nerves and anticipation of my first wedding day as an official wedding planner. After a stop at Savoia’s Pastry to pick up a few platters of delectable pastries for the dessert bar later that evening, I made my way to the church where there remained some last minute decorations to be set in place. Brighton Presbyterian Church was the site of both the ceremony and reception and not only is a beautiful, historic church; but also was Emma’s home church. 

 

Although a brief cloudburst interrupted the outdoor cocktail hour, the day was relatively smooth. There were personal touches throughout the wedding with the father of the bride performing the ceremony, as well as the bouquets and centerpieces that were designed by the bridal party. I worked primarily with the mother of the bride, Kerry throughout the process of planning the wedding. With her experience of serving as coordinator for weddings at Brighton Presbyterian, she was super gracious and a pleasure to work with!
