Here's a sneak peak of one great wedding!  Zeba and Ted were married this past Saturday, November 8th at St. Joseph's .  Everyone had a blast at their reception at the Westin City Center .  Thanks to Ted's father for the first photo!  More fun photos and details to come!

High school sweethearts Dawn and Nick had been dating for almost eight years before they finally tied the knot earlier this month on October 4th.  Their beautiful fall ceremony took place on the Sunset Terrace at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly.  After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a few cocktails and appetizers before heading upstairs to the ballroom for the reception where DJ Erin Meyers kept the party going on the dance floor.  In between dancing guests couldn't keep their hands off the candy buffet.  Needless to say, energy levels were high all night long!  Some say young love can't last but Dawn and Nick are sure to prove that theory wrong.  Congratulations!

Alex was thrilled to be in the company of famous wedding cake baker, Sylvia Weinstock not only once but twice last week. Sylvia was the guest of honor at the NACE Gala that was hosted by the Westin Embassy Row last Sunday night. The following day for lunch, Doreen Tisone of Engaged! Magazine hosted a luncheon at Oxon Hill – one of the area’s most beautiful venues. Sylvia spoke about her business, took questions and really how to go after what you want. She is a firecracker and so inspiring!!

A big thanks to Regeti’s Photography for the photo! You can see more on their blog!

Geraldine and Brent were married on October 11th at the All Souls Episcopal Church in Washington, DC.  The couple would have liked to have been married at their own church but it was under construction at the time.  Although they didn't get to have the ceremony there, the entire bridal party did stop by for a quick picture in their cute construction hats.  Following some more pictures in DC, the wedding party met up with the guests at the gorgeous Omni Shoreham for cocktail hour and the reception.  Guests were seated at tables named after the many places that Brent and Geraldine have travelled to and enjoyed the couple's first dance before heading to the various food stations.  The dance floor was packed all night long thanks to the fantastic tunes provided by Retrospect.  It was one great party!

Natasha worked with Laura and Scott who were married on August 9th at the lovely Kay Spiritual Life Center at the American University campus in Washington, DC.  The couple was showered by a sea of bubbles as they exited the ceremony and headed over to the Doubletree for their reception.  At the reception guests enjoyed delicious food, a chocolate fountain, and dancing to the sounds of Fancy Pants as they sipped on a signature cocktail created by Laura and Scott which was cleverly named "The Shermigan".

It's easy for anyone to see just how much in love Sarah-Jane and Greg truly are.  They tied the knot on September 27th at the beautiful Dahlgren Chapel at Georgetown University.  Although rain threatened to dampen their day we made it from ceremony to reception without a drop.  After the ceremony, guests relaxed and danced the night away at the elegant Washington Club.  Every wedding day detail was in tune with Sarah-Jane and Greg's sophisticated yet fun style.  They were a pleasure to work with!  Congratulations!
