Tracy and Landon Betsworth

Tracy and Landon--truly a couple who love life!! Tracy and Landon knew they wanted every aspect of their wedding reception to be one word--F-U-N!! It all started with fun and touching scripted introductions for their wedding party, continued into the most amazing choreographed first dance, and ended with an incredible After-Party! Tracy and Landon planned for everything--except the weather--and who can do that? Who would think that a Saturday in late March would be anything BUT perfect in Hilton Head? Well, Mother Nature threw us all a curve with winds and cold temps! But Malely and the entire staff at The Westin Resort, Dawn from A Floral Affair and Low Country Lights all worked hard to make it a perfect day for Tracy and Landon, despite the chili temps. The ballroom was transformed into such a delight! Tracy and Landon were surrounded with such a great group of family and friends! Caroline Hilty documented the event for Tracy and Landon. The day and night were great. We enjoyed working with this couple and we wish them a lifetime of happiness!!

Holly and Grant Deloach

What a great day for a wedding and what a beautiful wedding it was!! Holly and Grant Deloach chose the Westin Resort on Hutchinson Island as the spot where they would exchange their vows and host a great wedding reception. The guests gathered in the Harbor Ballroom for the elegant ceremony and then moved upstairs for a nice cocktail hour. At 7pm, they were welcomed into the ballroom for the reception and....WOW!! The entire room was uplit and there was a beautiful custom monogram displaying Holly and Grant's name--many thanks to Graceful Expressions for the design of that monogram. Holly and Grant shared their first dance and moved to a special dance between Grant and his mother and then Grant's father (also his Best Man) offered a toast to the newly married couple. A wonderful dinner was then served--great food and great service thanks to the hard work of Sarah Aliffi-Baez! The guests enjoyed hearing Holly and Grant's Love Story and the cutting of the wedding cake. Elegant lighting soon became fun, up-beat and really cool dance floor lighting--the whole crowd was motivated to dance the night away! Krisha Cravin was on hand to capture the night with amazing images! We look forward to keeping in touch with Grant, Holly and even Liz--Holly's mom. They are such a great family and we are honored to have spent the day with them!

Andrew and Margaret Maggitti

First wedding of 2010 and first wedding as JLKevents! ...and a great wedding it was!! Andrew and Margaret are from Baltimore, Maryland, and they brought their closest family and friends with them to Hilton Head to witness and celebrate their wedding. Palmetto Hall was the setting of the wedding ceremony as well as the reception. Jen Leiti and her staff offered wonderful food and service--as usual. It was a cold, brisk day, but that could not stop everyone's heart from being warmed as they witnessed Andrew and Margaret exchange vows on the lawn of Palmetto Hall. The guests then moved upstairs to the ballroom to enjoy food and drinks. The entire evening was set like an incredible cocktail party. Andrew and Margaret are both in the food and beverage industry, so they wanted their guests to enjoy! Andrew and Margaret are so sweet--they work together and they are both ready to start their family and make it truly a family-affair! We are thankful to have spent the day with them!

Elise and Kjell Pederson

Elise and Kjell are such a fun couple!! They met as lifeguards on Hilton Head and they are still here—ok, there were lots of detours on the way, but they are still in Hilton Head, Kjell is a full-time lifeguard and now they are married!!! Elise and Kjell wanted to have a special place for their wedding and they searched the Island and found a great beach house on 5 Alder Lane. Maureen Cohen performed the beach ceremony and PortaParty provided the PA and music. Then, following the ceremony, the guests moved back to the house for cocktails and appetizers. Elise and Kjell spent some time having some FABULOUS photos made my Torrey and Tony from Mira Photography. When their photos were complete, Elise and Kjell had their “grand entrance” and then shared their first dance and husband and wife and then Elise shared a special dance with her dad—it was so cool because it started with “My Girl” and then moved into the Michigan Fight Song and then the Michigan State Fight song!! It is so cool to customize wedding receptions!! Dinner was then served and the toasts were presented—Elise and Kjell have some incredible orators in their list of family and friends!!! The love story was also presented and all of the guests learned that Kjell bought Elise and engagement ring from WalMart!! He really did—but only because the AMAZING ring that was being designed for her was not ready when he was ready to propose!! There are always really cool stories that we learn about our couples! Elise and Kjell did not want to do a “normal” bouquet toss, so they had all of the guests come out to the dance floor and they tossed out lottery tickets!!! Of course, Calloway’s “I wanna be rich” was playing in the background!! Their crowd was so much fun!! Dancing, fun, dancing, fun was how the night was!! Ice cream paint job had the crowd fired up!! It was a great night and we are so happy that Elise and Kjell are local, so we can actually see them again! Gina Dunn was on site to organize and coordinate all aspects of the wedding day and she was beyond phenomenal!!! It was just a perfect day and we are honored to have been part of it!!

Hi Liz and Jamie,
Just writing to thank-you for a fabulous party. We had a great time...although wishing it could have lasted longer. It was like we blinked and the wedding was over:( We had tons of compliments on the music and flow of the party. Kjell's favorite part of the whole wedding was dancing to Ice Cream Paint Job. hehehe
Thank you again and we will be sure to recommend you to other friends getting married.
Elise and Kjell

Alison and David Campbell

Port Royal Clubhouse was the beautiful scene for Alison and Dave's wedding. The rains stopped and the ceremony was held outside on the lawn--what a beautiful setting it is! The guests then moved into the patio area and the dining area for drinks and passed appetizers. Soon dinner was served and then the dancing began. Alison and David were surrounded by their closest family and friends for their very special day. They are such a sweet couple--it was obvious that David wanted to make sure that his new wife had the wedding day of her dreams and we are so happy to have been part of that! We were blessed to share some time with Phillip and Terry Lee (our former pastor and his wife) because Phillip performed the ceremony. Jen Leiti and the entire crew at Port Royal Club took care of all of the details for the night. And did we mention the cake? As usual, Sheri's Edible Designs made an amazingly beautiful and yummy cake!! We also were fortunate to work with photographer John Zeuli again. We worked with John a few years ago and we were so impressed with his generosity, professionalism and his wonderful images!! A very special thanks to John for providing the photos posted on this page!!

Blythe and Phil Carvalho

We met Blythe and Phil so long ago--they have been planning this wedding for a long time and everything really came together perfectly!! Of course, Sebrell Smith and her team had a lot to do with that! The incredible Telfair Museum was the site for the cocktail hour and the reception. The guests first gathered in sculpture gallery downstairs for cocktails and then moved upstairs to the Rotunda for the reception. Low Country Lights provided ambiant lighting in both locations and then when the dancing started, the lighting became much more exciting! Shots by Roxy was there to document the entire event! We wish Blythe and Phil a lifetime of happiness!!

Katie and David Bader

Katie and David are true Blufftonians!! They wanted their wedding to take place near the water and they wanted true Low Country Cuisine for their guests!! They selected Spanish Wells Club for the ceremony and reception site and had Bluffton Oyster Company cater the event--oh my, it was perfect!!! Katie and David are perfect for each other--they are both laid back and fun-loving people. They love being on the water--in fact, earlier in their relationship, David asked Katie if she wanted a ring or a boat first------she selected a boat!! What a girl!! In the end...she got both!! It was a great night of family, friends and celebration!!

Louise and Rick Burroughs

We have been preparing for Louise and Rick's wedding for so long--it is hard to believe the day has actually come! Louise and Rick are such a great couple! They have been planning this wedding and they really wanted every detail to be just perfect for their family and friends. They really had an All-Star Wedding Cast to help make that happen--Jackie Lacey was the coordinator and designer; Frances and Scott Moody were the photographers; Maureen Cohen was the officiant; and Jen Leiti was the event coordinator from Port Royal. We met with Louise and Rick several times during their engagement and worked on setting an agenda that really fit in to how they wanted their wedding day to be organized. We provided microphones for the ceremony (Maureen always loves when we mic her!) and also had entertaining music for the cocktail hour on the deck, and then had the main set up in the dining room. The ceremony was beautiful, the cocktails were enjoyable, the dinner was fabulous and the dancing was incredible. It was such a pleasure to work with Louise and Rick--we wish them many years of joy together!

Kat and James McKee

Kat and James are such a COOL COUPLE!! ...and they have really cool friends and family. James contacted us a long time ago and told us that music and entertainment were very important to them. So, over the past few months we have been exchanging music lists and the final list was great! Kat and James had such a great range of music--the crowd was happy all night long! The wedding day started with a beautiful beach ceremony and then the guests moved into the Hilton Shorehouse for cocktails. Kat and James joined the party, shared a wonderful dinner--thanks to the fabulouse Hilton Staff--and then the party was ON!! It was such a great night and Amanda Julca was there to document the entire evening!

Melissa and Joshua Painter

Melissa and Joshua traveled from the Upstate of SC to the LowCountry of SC to have their dream wedding. Their ceremony was at the beautiful Old Sheldon Ruins and then the guests and the couple traveled to the Anchorage House in downtown Beaufort for their picturesque reception. History, beauty, good food, good family & friends defined the night. Melissa loves the good "oldies," so much of the music reflected that--artists like The Penguins, Curtis Lee, Louis Armstrong and Barbara Lewis. David Howard documented the day with photography that we are sure Melissa and Josh will treasure for a lifetime. It was a pleasure to serve Melissa and Josh and we wish them a lifetime of joy together.
