Games, Grins, and Grooving: The Three G’s of Love
Linda and Grant chose to spend their special day with us here at The Loft, and we couldn’t be more honored!
True Photography was there for every big moment and captured some incredible shots throughout the evening.
Nothing but excellence as usual from this talented team of photographers!
Linda and her bridesmaids got ready separately from the groom and his guys in the top floor Bridal Suite.
Everyone looked gorgeous, but Linda lit up the room with her excitement and magnificent gown from The White Flower Bridal Boutique!
Petals by Katie decorated the ceremony space with stunning arrangements of deep orange and burgundy flowers, which cascaded up and over the ceremony arch.
As guests arrived, they collected a pre-ceremony drink from Personal Touch Dining at the bar to start the private party off right!
The shade moved just in time for the service out on our Patio Area.
It keeps guests fresh and only concerned about the big moment when the love birds say their “I Do’s.”
Just look at this pure joy!
Their love and excitement were contagious; everyone was smiling along with them.
Moving on to Cocktail Hour inside, guests helped themselves to the abundant Appetizer Station from Personal Touch Dining!
Assortments of fresh fruit and veggies alongside delectable cheese platters accompanied the tray passed hor d’oeuvres for an all-encompassing food selection.
As part of their favors, Grant and Linda provided custom drink koozies at the bar!
Each guest’s second wedding favor was the bottle of smoked salt holding their seating placement cards.
The placement cards served a second purpose as tickets to enter one of the four games available throughout the evening!
On top of the usual Giant Jenga, Connect Four, and Corn Hole games that our Loft provides, Grant and Linda felt inspired to create their own.
The Wine Cork Guessing Game featured two extra-large wine glasses full of wine corks.
Each guest was allowed one guess at the total number for a chance to win a bottle of wine from the Bride and Groom!
We think this was such a cleverly unique way to have multiple uses for the escort cards, which otherwise can get overlooked.
Guests had so many fun and thoughtful ways to be included in Linda and Grant’s special day.
A beautiful navy and gold globe acted as the sign-in book for guests to lovingly leave their mark on the happy couple’s memories.
The final entertainment opportunity came from Dancing DJ Productions, who provided a Photo Booth stuffed to the brim with fun costumes and props for the perfect fun picture!
While guests enjoyed all the activities, True Photography had the newlyweds out exploring the grounds, snapping the perfect Sunset pictures.
Hoping to soak up every bit of Golden Hour light they could, the love birds opted to let guests dive into dinner before them.
Personal Touch Dining served Herb Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Wholegrain Mustard Horseradish Cream and White Seabass with Mediterranean Spices and a Lemon Butter Sauce.
They paired these entrees with some Roasted Garlic and Herb Cous Cous and White Cheddar Potatoes Au Gratin.
A Basalmic Grilled Asparagus Salad with a Sundried Tomato Dressing and a Strawberry Walnut Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing completed the buffet.
Instead of a customary First Dance, Linda and Grant created their own Interactive First Dance with the help of Dancing DJ Productions to get everyone out of their seats and onto the dancefloor!
Going along with the night’s theme of quirky and fun customizations, we got a kick out of their adorable football-themed bobblehead cake topper!
Flanking their personal-sized cake, Personal Touch Dining provided a full sugary spread of desserts.
Platters of Donut Holes, Rice Krispy Squares Dipped in Chocolate, Lemon Bars, Mini Assorted Cupcakes, Churro Shooters with Chocolate Syrup and Whipped Cream, and Parisian Macaroons covered the whole dessert table.
After such a fun-filled wedding, we have to thank Grant and Linda for including us!
We wish them all the best and know their future will be bright and filled with delightful surprises.
Special thanks also go out to our incredible vendors, whom we could not do without during these big days.
You help us make magic happen at every event!
