A Wedding at Graeme Park: Katie & Andrew

Katie and Andrew were one of two weddings we had at Graeme Park during the first weekend in October and it rained BUCKETS on their day. Fortunately they were able to move everything inside the tent and had a really cute set up with the ceremony taking place on the dance floor at one end of the tent, the tables for dinner set up in the center and a lounge and cocktail area set up at the other end of the tent.

First, I'll apologize for the lousy pictures: it was dark and I only had a cell phone, so they unfortunately do not accurately depict how beautiful and elegant the wedding was.

The tables were set with navy blue linens which really set off the vibrant floral arrangements and iron candle lanterns provided additional light. 

The catering was done by Carolino's of West Chester and consisted of antipasto, hot roast beef au jus, hot roast pork, chicken Marsala, spring mix salad with pecans and cranberries, mushroom risotto, and a custom pasta station. The dessert bar included a spice wedding cake, cannoli, chocolate cups, chocolate covered strawberries and other assorted goodies.

Congratulations Katie and Andrew and thank you for choosing Graeme Park to celebrate your marriage.

A Wedding at Graeme Park: Kori & David

Kori and David had a beautiful September afternoon for their boho-styled wedding at Graeme Park. The bride, bedecked in a baby's breath wreath, walked out of the woods in a lace gown like a woodland fairy and joined her gingham-shirted and green-bow-tied groom and guests in front of the historic Keith House.

After the ceremony the guests enjoyed a lavish spread of hors d'oevres, including cheese and crackers, fruit, grilled vegetables, sliders and other hot appetizers catered by Joey G's of Newtown.

Joey G's., who is one of our preferred caterers, then followed with a casual, relaxed meal of iceberg lettuce wedges with crumbled bacon and blue cheese, build-your-own burgers and dogs, grilled veggie wraps, mac and cheese, and assorted fries.

The tent was decked out in full bouquets of fresh daisies and baby's breath, simple white linens and natural wooden chairs.

The cake echoed the daisy theme and was topped with the couple's initial.

Congratulations Kori and David and thank you for choosing Graeme Park to celebrate your marriage.

A Wedding at Graeme Park: Hye-Won & Tristan

Hye-Won and Tristan braved a mid-August wedding at Graeme Park, and lucked into a not too hot day for their ceremony behind the Keith House. Hye-Won approached the alter with her parents from a path through the woods and joined Tristan in front of the bright blue door on the 1722 stone house.

After their ceremony, which was performed by one of their friends, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour in front of the 19th century barn, complete with specialty cocktails.

Back at the Open Aire Affairs wedding tent, Forget Me Not Vintage Rentals had set the stage with vintage everything - rustic wooden tables, mismatched chairs, china, and glassware, old dressers, cute accents and two lounge areas outside the tent. The tent had also been upgraded with liner fabric, paper lanterns, and chandeliers.

Catering was done by Catering by Rich, who provided a menu of Caesar salad, vegetarian pasta, chicken piccata, sausage & broccoli rabe, and filet mignon, served alongside roasted red potatoes and green beans almondine.

The couple's aunt created many of the home baked treats on the dessert bar, which was staged on a vintage buffet.

Confection Perfection created the lovely, traditional 3-tier wedding cake with "Love" topper.

As the music heated up the night cooled down for dancing and merrymaking. Congratulations Tristan and Hye-Won and thank you for choosing to celebrate at Graeme Park.
