New Jersey Wedding Planner - Highly considering to move in to The Ashford Estate ;o)

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending an exclusive event to view, what I consider to be THE most breathtaking and incredible venue in NJ - The Ashford Estate. It's difficult to describe the beauty that this brand new venue holds, but I knew I was in for it, considering it's the sister property of the gorgeous Bonnet Island Estate and Mallard Island Yacht Club.

It holds similar characteristics of its sister properties, such as AMAZING on-site suites for the couple and several important guests. Each of the 12 suites has its own unique personality that makes you feel at home and like you're in a 5 star hotel, all in one! Heck, I'm still not over the incredible showers in each suite; each can hold a small (or large) family! The grounds are just flawless and you feel such a sense of serenity being there. It definitely provides an unprecidented destination wedding experience right in NJ.

My advice to those of you getting married (or even thinking of it)?? Take a day and tour this amazing venue because the only way for you to truly understand the natural beauty of The Ashford Estate, is to see it! Once their site is officially up, I'll be sure to post the link so you can check it out. In the interim, take a look at their sister properties - Bonnet Island Estate and Mallard Island Yacht Club.

Thank you to all of the wonderful folks at The Ashford Estate for the special preview and for bringing another unique and gorgeous option to all of the Brides & Grooms to be!

New Jersey Wedding Planner - 2 Dresses, 1 Bride

I was reading a magazine the other day when I came across an article about Carrie Underwood’s recent wedding (she married NHL player Mike Fisher). As I was reading it and drooling over the million dollar photos, I noticed Carrie did something that a lot of brides are doing nowadays. She opted to have two different wedding dresses – a ceremony dress and a reception dress.

Brides are choosing to wear two different dresses for a couple of reasons. For some brides, it mixes up their outfit. A lot of girls want to be the “belle of the ball”, if you will, and want to be glamorous. An outfit change is a sure way to accomplish this. Some brides fall in love with more than one dress and can’t decide on which to wear, so having 2 separate dresses is the perfect solution. For other brides, it is important to have a ceremony dress and a party dress. Let’s face it – a dress with a super long train can get in the way of getting your groove on. To accommodate themselves, a lot of brides are starting to go with a long ceremony dress and a short reception dress to ensure they can move around.

Reception dresses are also a great way to incorporate color – you don’t have to stick with white all night. This is a great way to change things up and add your own unique element to your wedding.





Like I always say, it’s your day… so go with whatever makes you feel beautiful – one dress, two dresses, short, long, white, pink, blue..!! All you have to worry about it having a great time. =)

New Jersey Wedding Planner - Gorgeous Wedding Pics

I've been meaning to post this for weeks now, but we've been soooo busy. Here are a couple photos from our wedding on June 26th ~ my birthday =) This was definitely an adventure... several performers, including a Contortionist, three bands, DJ, 400 guests, AMAZING decor, Strolling Table, and that was just the beginning! It was a long night, that didn't end until well past 3am, but it was worth every minute and every aching pain, to see Stephanie & Emmanuel so happy on their special day! We had such a great time!! Can't wait until we get the official photos, but here are a few that we snapped with our phones. Enjoy! =)
