Stephanie and Tucker Frey

Stephanie and Tucker--what a beautiful couple! Like many couples from Ohio, Stephanie and Tucker decided to get married in Hilton Head. They held their ceremony at Holy Family and then later in the afternoon, Stephanie and Tucker joined their guests at Port Royal Clubhouse. Stephanie and Tucker and their wedding party were introduced into the clubhouse and then their honor attendants offered toasts to the newly married couple. After the toasts, dinner was served and as usual, Jen Leiti and the staff at Port Royal Clubhouse offered great service and food! During dinner, the crowd enjoyed hearing Stephanie and Tucker's Love Story. Following dinner, Stephanie and Tucker cut their wedding cake and shared their first dance and a special family dance. Then...the dance floor was open! The crowd came to have a good time--they truly danced the night away! Stephanie and Tucker have been together since their college days, so this was truly a celebration for their family and friends. After lots of dancing, Stephanine and Tucker shared a last dance and then were sent off through sparklers. Landon Jacobs was there to document the wedding day of Stephanie and Tucker. We look forward to hearing about the blessings that Stephanie and Tucker have ahead of them.

Meredith and Jason Hinzman

Another beautiful day at the Westin! Meredith and Jason selected a great day to get married! The weather was gorgeous! Meredith and Jason had their ceremony on the beach deck of the Westin--what a view! They looked over beautiful palms and the ocean as they exchanged their vows. The guests stayed on the beach deck for cocktails and appetizers following the ceremony while Meredith and Jason took some great beach photos with their photographer Wille J. Rice. The guests then moved to the Pavilion and welcomed the new Mr. and Mrs. Hinzman! Low Country Lights provided uplighting throughout the Pavilion as well as Asian lanterns over the dance floor. A Floral Affair outdid themselves this time with the flowers--they were beyond incredible! Ches Ney and her staff provided great service and a great dinner. After the toasts and the special dances, the crowd was ready to party--really, they were ready to party! They were so much fun! They danced the night away. The evening ended with Meredith and Jason sharing a last dance with each other and their family and friends to Michael Buble's version of Save the Last Dance for Me. We were thrilled to be part of Meredith and Jason's special day and we look forward to hearing about the great things that the future holds for their family! ...and how about the full moon over the ocean--does it get any better than that???

Nicole and Jimmy Jenkins

Nicole and Jimmy Jenkins are such a wonderful couple. We first met on the phone and really just "clicked!" Nicole said that she and Jimmy had a Halloween party and that the DJ/Entertainer really made the night great. So, of course, they really wanted quality entertainment for their wedding. Nicole and Jimmy decided to make a trip to Hilton Head to nail down some wedding plans, so we met them on Valentine's Day. We had such a great time! We talked and got to know each other for a couple of hours in the Westin lobby! We knew their wedding day was going to be such a pleasure!

Nicole and Jimmy's wedding day was incredible! First, the day was beautiful--especially for a beach wedding!! Following the ceremony, the guests were welcomed to the Gazebo Deck and enjoyed appetizers and cocktails and fun, island music. The guests were then invited into the Gazebo Room for the formal reception. Jackie Lacey served as wedding coordinator and did the design work in the room. As usual, Jackie did an amazing job. The room was fabulous! Ches Ney and her staff from The Westin Spa and Resort provided a great dinner and service. Scott and Francis Moody from Pro Photo were there to capture the day for Nicole and Jimmy.

Jimmy thanked the guests for making the effort to be at the wedding and he also made a special announcement--he and Nicole are going to be parents! They are so thrilled to start their family and their friends were thrilled as well!

After dinner, the crowd enjoyed dancing and enjoying each other's company. Low Country Lights provided fun, cool lighting to set the mood. Nicole and Jimmy's first dance was to Love Story by Third Day, so they decided to end their reception with a last dance to You Shook me all Night Long by AC/DC--just an example of the wide range of musical tastes for Nicole and Jimmy!

We had a great time Friday and we look forward to hearing about Nicole and Jimmy and Baby Jenkins!

Note received from Nicole:

Dear Jamie and Liz: Thank you both so very much for all your hard work on our wedding day. Everyone loved the lighting in the room and had a great time dancing to your music on the dance floor. Thank you also for meeting and working with us, Jackie and Ches to make everything great! May God bless you, your family and your business. Best Regards, Nicole and Jimmy

Carlie and Adam Cochran

Carlie and Adam have been a part of our lives for nearly a year! As soon as they got engaged in 2008, they started working on their plans and we were one of the first vendors they selected. So, we have been able to get to know them and love them--they are fantastic!! They live in Augusta, Georgia, but decided that a beach house wedding in Hilton Head would be how they would get married. In fact, it would be how they got engaged as well! You see, they were vacationing in Hilton Head last year and decided to look at beach houses for an upcoming vacation/wedding. They found the perfect house on the beach in Sea Pines and on the second story balcony is where Adam proposed to Carlie. The perfect team to help make a beach house wedding come to fruition is Celebration Events. Molly, from Celebration Events was a joy to work with and helped make the ceremony and the dinner run without a glitch! To capture photos for the evening, the husband/wife team of Landon Jacobs was selected. They have got to be the nicest couple ever--and their photography is incredible!! The weather was perfect and the crowd was ready to have a good time after they had been fed, so they danced to their favorite songs around the pool area--how perfect is that?? Carlie even saw a part of Adam that she had never seen---he knows every word to Jump Around by House of Pain!! What fun! As the sun went down, Low Country Lights provided incredible effects to enhance the already beautiful scene. Carlie and Adam's wedding day was so much fun and we were thrilled to be a part of it. They are such a fun, energetic couple and we look forward to catching up with them as they travel back to Hilton Head for their vacations.

Jennifer and Trey Varn

Jennifer and Trey were such a fun couple! We don't know what they were doing right, but Mother Nature was smiling on them! It could not have been a more perfect day for weather! Jennifer and Trey were married at the beautiful Low Country Presbyterian Church in Bluffton and then had their reception at Long Cove Club on Hilton Head Island. The Club was set and ready for a great crowd to celebrate Jennifer and Trey's marriage. Beth and her staff provided an incredible meal--the crowd raved about it! Orrie (Trey's dad and Best Man) and Jill (Jennifer's sister and Matron of Honor) gave great toasts--they made the crowd laugh and had some tender moments! Jennifer and Trey wanted to set the tone for "casual elegance" for their night and they really achieved it After dinner and the "formalities" of the night, Jennifer and her friends were quick to have a great time and dance, dance, dance! Jennifer is a little bit country and Trey is a little bit rock-n-roll, so we played everything from Zac Brown to KISS to Flo Rida and everything in between! We look forward to seeing Jennifer and Trey around town since they are a local couple. They have a lot of great years ahead of them! http://www.myhiltonheadwedding.com/

Leslie and Bray McMillan

Leslie and Bray

This was a wedding that has been waiting to happen since Leslie and Bray were in 9th grade!! Leslie and Bray were high school sweethearts and college sweethearts (Go Gators!!). More than 100 of Leslie and Bray's closest family and friends made the trip to Hilton Head Island to be part of this wonderful celebration. Jen Leiti and the staff at Port Royal Club put on another fabulous event. Their service is great and their food is incredible. Caroline Nicole traveled from Florida to photograph and document Leslie and Bray's wedding. The weather was a roller coaster ride all week long for Leslie and Bray, but a little rain and wind could not dampen the spirits of this crowd! By the way, Florida Gators know how to have a good time!! The crowd enjoyed watching all of the special dances, listening to the toasts and the love story, and then they were ready to dance the night away!
Leslie and Bray ended the night with a fun dance to Michael Buble's version of Save the Last Dance for Me and then they rocked out the Florida Gator Fight Song. The crowd said good-night to Leslie and Bray through a line of sparklers! Leslie and Bray are a fantastic couple who have a long and happy life ahead of them. They have a great support system of family and friends and we look forward to hearing about the great life they are going to have together!

Thank you so much we had an amazing time and everybody thought you were awesome including Bray and I! You made our day very special!

Sacha and Eric Turpin

Sacha and Eric were such a great couple!! Sacha started planning this wedding last year and her attention to detail was evident! Sacha and Eric live in Atlanta, Georgia, but selected the incredible Wexford Plantation on Hilton Head Island for their wedding ceremony and reception. Nick Vasil from Wexford was incredible in his planning and organizing. We worked with him for some last minute changes in our set-up because the wind was blowing off the water on the marina--we needed some protection under that tent!! Maureen Cohen performed a beautiful ceremony that was custom-made for this couple. Classic Party Rentals had the tent, table and chairs looking fantastic (as always!). Following the formalities of the evening, the crowd was ready to party!! They were a crowd that every entertainer dreams about--they were fun, lively and full of energy!! Sacha and Eric are a beautiful couple and they could really teach the world a few lessons--instead of focusing on differences, they are a couple who focuses on their similarities. We look forward to hearing from Sacha and Eric as they grow old together!

Mardi Gras Party in the Alley

What a great party and what a great cause!!! Lee Cheeks has been hosting a party to raise funds for the Savannah River Cancer Foundation for several years and this year was incredible. The party was moved to the Municipal Building in the Alley and there is really no better place to have a party!! The menu was prepared by the Deft Chef and consisted of authentic Cajun cuisine and it was incredible! Low Country Lights set the mood with some Mardi Gras lighting and we played Zydeco music for the crowd. So many great vendors donated excellent prizes for the auction. The auctioneer was so much fun and the crowd had a great time battling it out. We were thrilled to be part of such a great event and we look forward to next year.

Christine and Jared McElroy

Christine and Jared McElroy--our first wedding of the 2009 season and they kicked it off with a BANG!! Christine and Jared have an amazing story!! They met just over a year ago on eHarmony and they knew they would marry immediately!! So, their dating life has basically been a preparation to their wedding!! Jared is a youth pastor and he was determined to save kissing on the lips for his wedding day. Christine was a somewhat willing partner--she really wanted to kiss this handsome man, but she was willing to wait!! Amazingly enough, they selected Give me a kiss to build a dream on by Louis Armstrong for their first dance--very appropriate!! The Morris Center in Savannah was such a great venue--so many opportunities to create true beauty!! Christine and her mom, Marianne did a lot of the decor and it rocked!! Christine's bridesmaid, Susie made the AMAZING wedding cake. The crowd enjoyed great food and then truly danced the night away--they were ready to celebrate this awesome marriage!! Christine and Jared ended the night with eHarmony's theme song Everlasting Love and left through sparklers. We will let you know when Christine and Jared's eHarmony commercial airs--there is no doubt they will have one!!

Quotes:

Jamie and Liz,
I want you to know how much we all appreciate your efforts in connection with Christine and Jared's wedding. IfI related all the wonderful feedback we received from many guests, I'm afraid your heads would get so big theymight explode!! Can't have that!! Marianne and I have been to many parties and receptions, and the mannerin which you blended the styles and tempos of music with the evolving activities throughout the evening wasincredible. The before and during dinner time was surrounded by soothing, uplifting and memorable favorites,and later the dance floor got hot has heck. Jamie the MC had the right words and humor for everything, and"the story" about Christine and Jared was beautifully shared.

To top all of that, Ms. Mail Lady delivered that awesome card!! You may not know it, but you captured an imagefor posterity that was truly unique---the Hedemark "finger flutter" move. I told Christine that I'd show off with one ofmy many moves during our dance (that really scared her cuz they're always so dorky), but obviously this time Dadand Christine really really hit a home run. I'd really appreciate it if you would email me the image.
Thanx again--you are both the BEST!!!
Fred

Jennifer and Peter Belmore

Jennifer and Peter--what a couple!! We first met Jennifer and Peter several months ago. They had so many questions and ideas and we were thrilled to think that we would be part of their special day. Jennifer and Peter showed their true colors when their venue was changed just a few weeks prior to their wedding date!! Yep, that's the truth--they had to find an entirely new place for their ceremony, cocktail hour and reception!! Fortunately, Jill O'Boyle at Champions Ballroom was able to step in and take care of Jennifer and Peter. They had a great ceremony at the terrace at the Inn at Sea Pines--the rain held off and the weather was gorgeous! The guests moved into the foyer and enjoyed a cocktail hour and then the ballroom was open for Jennifer and Peter's grand entrance. Jennifer and Peter danced around and had a great time to a Lyle Lovett tune. Jennifer then danced with her dad to a sweet song and then broke out into "Mustang Sally!" They thrilled the crowd! Dinner and dancing soon followed. Fabio Ventura took some incredible photos that Jennifer and Peter will treasure forever!
