stop. “When we stepped onto the grounds, it felt like the place for us,” says Katie. “We both have so many fond memories of the area, and it was fantastic to get married in a place that was already so special to us.” It was also the perfect setting for their garden
party theme. The couple teamed up with Katie Auffant of That’s Darling Events to plan a day centered around stylish florals and stunning landscapes. To curate the perfect setting, wedding designers Creamery Hill joined the team. “I would’ve been lost without [Creamery Hill’s] creative vision,” says Katie.
On a clear, crisp September day, the couple exchanged vows under an elegant pergola adorned with flowers, their mothers reading a special Irish wedding blessing. Then it was time to celebrate with drinks on the patio before hitting the dance floor
in the clubhouse. Each guest’s seat had a vase with
a single rose, and the newlyweds presided over the room at a decorated sweetheart table.
Katie credits her team for making her day one
to remember. “They continued to remind me throughout the day to breathe and enjoy the present moment,” she says. “I’m glad I did.” TH
