flash mob wedding

Kerrin and Antonio // St. Francis Hall, Washington, DC Wedding // DC Wedding Planner

Photo by Sarah Gormley Photography Kerrin and Antonio got married this past October at Luther Place Memorial Church, followed by a reception at St. Francis Hall. Kerrin was a partial planning client - I didn’t meet Antonio til the day of the wedding, because he lives in Mexico! (though you may recognize them from their DC engagement session we featured here!). Kerrin moved to Mexico to be with Antonio shortly after the wedding, which is just damned dreamy. Speaking of dreamy… these photos from Sarah Gormley Photography are ethereal and lovely and amazing. She is one of my favorites and I just love the way she captures the day.

Kerrin was a flutist and fifer with the US Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps and therefore has a ton of musician friends. She added some beautiful musical touches by having a musical prelude at the church, and then surprising guests with a flash mob of fife, drum and bugle players at the reception!

This was such a fun reception because they really wanted to meld their two cultures. Main Event did a great job of providing delicious food (and of course, margaritas!), and DJ Anthony from MyDeejay introduced some latin music to the usual dance hits. The last special touch was that their wedding day was on Kerrin’s mother and father’s 40th wedding anniversary! So after the cake cutting they did a special tribute to them. It was a wonderful evening and wishing Kerrin and Antonio all the best in Mexico!! Congrats!

Corey and Peter // Pinstripes Wedding, Washington, DC // DC Wedding Coordinator

Photo by TellChronicles Corey and Peter's wedding was a total blast and right up my alley (pun intended). Their non-traditional wedding was held at the Georgetown Pinstripes - a restaurant/bar/event space/bocce court and bowling alley. Hells to the yes. Corey was a DIY master, creating tons of great little details that made their day super special and unique.

After getting ready they started their day with a first look and portraits around Georgetown - the couple met at Georgetown University. We then had the ceremony at Pinstripes, with cocktails, bocce and bowling downstairs for cocktail hour while we somewhat frantically flipped the space for the reception!

In addition to Corey's awesome DIY details, which included hand-made notecards for the guests to fill out for each of their upcoming anniversaries (I've said it before and I'll say it again - I LOVE this guest book alternative), this wedding was also FULL of surprises. Corey's Mom did a surprise "rap" toast (to Fresh Prince of BelAir, obviously). Corey and her brothers surprised the guests with a choreographed dance, followed by ANOTHER surprise dance flash mob that Corey's family had put together. It was awesome. Needless to say, dancing, dancing and more dancing followed.

Big thanks to TellChronicles for the great photos - and can we talk about how freaking hot Corey and Peter are? Hot damn. (and a shout-out to Peter's Mom for a truly awesome hat - we need more hats and fascinators at weddings, please).

Congrats again to Corey and Peter!
