Kasey and Jake

Hi everyone, 

Wedding Seasons is upon us, and here is a slide show of an April wedding. Ceremony was held at the charming and cozy All Saints by the Sea.  The Reception at the Four Seasons Biltmore (Kellie Berdon Catering Manager) was beautiful, scrumptious and flawless.

That Vibe (band) kept all on the dance floor with their super talented Ted as the lead singing such a range of music from Prince to Journey to Al Greene. IMPRESSIVE!  The El Mar Room was beautifully decorated with the beautiful floral work of Juniper Floral Designs.

It was truly and memorable night for all!

The Simpson House Inn Retreat







Tuesday Melissa and I were invited to a little pampering overnight at the Simpson House Inn. WHAT A TREAT!  It's rare when event planners get taken care of, usually they are doing the taking care of.  But when we do, boy!  It's definitely a party (that is put together to impress and goes off without a hitch).
Our invitation arrived and smartly set the tone.  It was in a box and when you opened, it looks like a small sheet with the words "We Want To Tuck You In" sticking out.



We checked in at 3:30, just in time to relax before our 4 p.m. outdoor massage.  Greeted by a timeline of the events, and a lemoncello rosemary cocktail, we were ready to kick our feet up!

AHHH!  right before we went down to dinner, we took this pictures of the set up from our balcony.

we had a great time with some s'mores by the fire and then slept like babies!

The next morning we woke up to find that the dining areas had been removed and now stood a beautiful, bright breakfast structure.




What a treat!  Truly!
