Well the day couldn't of been better, temperture was just right and everything ran perfectly all day.
Let's see the photographers Brian and Leah (and the soon arrival of Wellington) Rupp arrived to start checking out the location with this being their first time at BeckenRidge. Both were so sweet and super easy to work with. They received the 101 on the Phylloxera Virus and ended up having their shoes treated to prevent the virus from spreading. I can't wait to see the pictures they took throughout the day.
Well the girls arrived next, had them settled in with the Bella package of fruit, cheese, crackers and semi traditional Mimosa's in the bride's dressing room.
Liz their coordinator wasted no time and started decorating. BeckenRidge already had the main room & patios set with tables, Italian chairs and ivory table clothes. They brought in a green crush overlay's with chocolate colored napkins which really made a pop in contrast. The napkins where wrapped around the plates with the favor bag for the candy buffet. The candy buffet & cake (Liz also made their cake http://www.artisancakecompany.com/ amazing) where all on one table along with a huge board behind them with the bride & groom's names, elegantly done by the groom. Really eye catching.
Shortly there after the guys arrived and made a beeline for the Belvedere Room. Like the girls the boys received some special attention too. With rental of the Belvedere Room the guys had their own porch, Foosball table, satellite TV, stereo, poker set and bathroom. They also had the pleasure of munching down some meat, cheese and crackers. To wash all of that food down they choose to have some Mirror Pond to keep from being parched. I wasn't able to take pictures in there before the guys were already getting ready. So I will have to wait on Brian Rupp to send me some decent shots of the Belvedere Room.
Before you knew it the bridal party started taking pictures, while the rest of the vendors arrived. First of the vendors, was the florist they were in and out so fast I didn't catch their name, but the simple centerpieces were elegant and an easy clean up.
The metal arch had a little extra pizazz this time. It was really quite stunning, but I don't think the camera captured it to the fullest. Liz hung crystal beads from the arch adding some new dimensions to it. It really looked awesome with the Bride & Groom standing underneath & walking through it.
Next came Premiere Catering http://www.premierecatering.biz/, if you have the chance to check these guys out for your wedding, do so. Michael, Peter, Jon and their staff were amazing to work with and all very friendly. The food oh my, was mouth watering starting with the presentation to that first & last bite. Having two buffet stations was nice & helped with the traffic flow. From a 
venue point of view, they were professional, considerate to the property and staff, and stayed to the very end making sure every detail was taken care of.

DJ Ryan rolled in a couple hours before the ceremony to setup inside the main room and on the lawn. He did a great job, and really catered to the crowd with the music, they were movin and grovin to some oldies but goodies.
The baby grand had some stage time too, they had a friend play the piano for the first dance and the groom's sister sang "At Last" it was great!!!
Before you knew it guests were lining up outside to send off the bride and groom. I wish I would of gotten a picture of it, it was pretty cool looking. I will post it from Brian & Leah when I see those pictures. Overall the day was perfect and fun.
