As promised, here is the story of Ashlee & Jon’s reception at the spectacular Winterthur Museum and Country Estate.   Again, Mike Kehr’s photography was nothing less than amazing!

Ashlee and Jon always wanted an outdoor wedding.  They fell madly in love with Winterthur (who doesn’t?), but wanted to have their reception out by the extremely picturesque “Clenny Run” section of the grounds rather than in the Visitors’ Center that usually serves as the venue for wedding receptions.

So, we brought in the experts — EventQuip — to create the perfect tent.   And perfect it was.  Ashlee wanted the ceiling of the tent to be something spectacular, so we designed a ceiling of beautiful drapery and lights (expertly executed by VU-Events).  Here are the drawings we came up with to serve as the plan for the draping and lighting of the ceiling and the floorplan for the tables and food stations.   One of my favorite things about doing what we do is the part where what we put down on paper becomes a reality. 

Here is how the evening turned out.   Stunning, eh?

  

Restaurant Associates created wonderful food stations that totally delighted Ashlee & Jon’s guests.

 

As always. Beautiful Blooms‘ florals were gorgeous!

 

Congratulations, Ashlee & Jon!!   Yours was truly a beautiful wedding!
