Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

I hope everyone is stuffed from all the great food the holiday season has brought us! All this snowy December weather has created that magical winter wedding feel …as well as the perfect ballroom backdrop. As another year comes to a close, let’s not forget about all the perfect moments with your family and friends! Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Lobbatto & Mr. and Mrs. Weckesser! These two weddings were a fabulous close to the month of December. Warm wishes for all!

Have a happy and safe New Year from everyone here at The English Manor! See you in 2010!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas …

This past Saturday was the start of our Winter Wonderland weddings here at The English Manor. Our wedding estate has been transformed into holiday bliss. Wreaths, trees, bells and garland are everywhere! All the festive decor just makes me want to sit by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate! There is so much happiness and joy surrounding the holiday season that you can’t help but always be in a good mood. But enough with how much I LOVE the holidays, let’s talk about this past weekend’s weddings…

Our first Winter Wonderland wedding this season was Jenny and Jason’s … they even had Santa come to their wedding! What an awesome surprise for their guests! (I was even able to sneak in my own picture with Santa!) The wedding was truly a magical holiday party complete with ornament place card holders. The holiday cheer was spread right down to their toes … Jenny had on red heels and Jason had black and white tux shoes … perfectly planned!


Here's a picture of Santa with Jenny and Jason's wedding party!

That Saturday evening, the holiday cheer continued on with Ryan and Drew’s wedding. Their use of cranberries and burgundy candles made their centerpieces shine … I absolutely loved how they used wreaths around the vases to add that extra element of holiday splendor.

These two weddings were the perfect December kick-off! I can’t wait to see what else is in store for this month!

This past Saturday, Christen and Anthony were lucky enough to be married outside in this beautiful November weather. With a crisp breeze and the rustling of the leaves, they had a perfect night for their autumn ceremony. They continued their autumn theme indoors with their use of warming colors and leafy décor. It was an amazing celebration!

This fabulous wedding, as well as all the weddings here at The English Manor couldn’t have been done without Debbie, our wonderful Maitre’ d, who makes sure all the details and planning come together perfectly. She personally sits down with the brides and grooms-to-be and makes sure their wedding day is everything they dreamed it would be! On the day of the wedding, she is there to manage and make sure that your ceremony and reception run smoothly.

Here’s a picture of Debbie and Chris Garrow (we love them both)! Chris is the fabulous owner of Unforgettable DJ’s. He is one of our favorite DJ’s and is like a member of The English Manor family.
P.S. Nancy, Vince and Cathy have been hard at work getting The English Manor ready for the holiday season! So get excited, because I will be posting pictures of all the great décor! Happy Holidays!
