It might have been our last wedding of the season but WOW was it a beautiful day inside and out..!!! I couldn't decide which pictures to keep so I just kept a big pile.! They were too nice not to share.. Some really fun colors enhanced the Fall decor inside and out, chair covers, a beautiful day, and lots of smiles..! What a great way to end wedding season!! Congratulations Caroline and Jake!! We wish you the very best..!!

The first of our 2 weddings last weekend... An absolutely beautiful day with LOTS of planning, fun stuff and surprises here.. Photobooth, cake cutting with a sword, beautiful Mother/Daughter dance, some fun Ceremony surprises, sparkler send-off, etc.. An exciting "sprint" ceremony entrance by the groom, giant "cue cards", an exit "re-do" and the surprise shower of silly string made for some excitement.. Pretty sure anyone who knows the groom personally (especially the bride!) was not surprised by any of this..!! A fun group and a great day... We're so glad you chose Celebrations and we wish Heidi and Rob the very best...!

Perfect night to spend a few minutes on the back patio with a cocktail...! The calm before the storm.. 2 big weddings this weekend and it looks like they will get absolutely perfect weather...!!

Rain Happens... But we were prepared and it didn't stop the new Mr. & Mrs. Dupuis and their guests from having a great day.!!! I always say that someone in October gets the best day of the year and someone gets wet.. Well maybe these guys got both..! It was smiles all day from everyone..! The weather didn't make any difference.. Some great pictures, awesome 1st dance, firepit, beautiful Fall colors, really fun group of people and we welcomed another great couple to the growing list of Celebrations alumni... Congratulations Nicholas & Doriana..! We wish you the very best...!

Some pics from the 1st of our 3 weddings last weekend.. Rainy day but the ceremony was in a church and then it cleared up for some photos at Celebrations and a great evening.. Fun event with some extras... Tables really looked nice with the colors and favors.. Another very well done first dance, some fun desserts, firepit, etc. I even think someone said the Grandfather of the Bride (?) made all the oak lanterns for the centerpieces - very nice..! Congratulations Isabel & Peter, we wish you the very best...!!

Calm before the storm... 3 weddings this weekend.. Looking forward to Monday..!!

Busy week last week so this is a bit delayed but we had a great celebration of marriage on 7/21 for a couple that actually got married in December 2021 when we were dealing with Covid restrictions... Better late than never and this was an awesome celebration!! A very cool Jenga guest book, Ice Cream Sundae bar, Photobooth, etc... Even had a slideshow that was really well done of photos of the bride & groom from the early years to present.. Also some AMAZING origami centerpieces constructed by the bride (unfortunately I didn't get a close-up photo of these). A crazy amoumt of work went into them, Yikes..! Also I barely missed getting a great group shot but caught the end of it.. Congratulations to Sydney & Vincent on 31 months as Mr. & Mrs. Coffey!! We wish you the very best for many more years together!!

Awesome pics of our 7/14 wedding from Lee Speary Photography ...! And yes, the dog is swimming in the gazebo creek during the ceremony..!!

07/22/2024

Busy couple days... Wedding last night then clean and set the room and didn't get out of here till around midnight. Back here at 5:30am for a corporate event with a full breakfast and lunch.. Laurie said we deserve a drink..!! I'm thinking 2..! Watching the storm come across the hills...

Another great wedding this past weekend...! Once again we had fantastic weather and a beautiful day.. Really liked the centerpieces, simple and nice. Homemade jam for favors was a great touch, axe throwing for the guests to enjoy (sorry no pics of this) and more... The ring bearers were rock stars but it was the "furry" flower girl that stole the show during the ceremony.!! During the ceremony she jumped up on the bride to say hello then spent some time resting on the cool stone floor in the gazebo before finally deciding to take a little swim in the pond by the gazebo!! It was awesome!! Unfortunately I was the sound guy and couldn't get photos of all the fun but I think the photographer did.. Also check out some of the unique portrait shots Lee Speary Photography was working on getting on the back patio.. I can't wait to see how these turned out and will try to share when we see them.. Congratulations Cameron & Avery.! We hope you had a great day and we wish you the very best..!

Hello All.. Our generator is running at full speed (we are the gas companies best friend today!!)... If anyone needs to stop by to charge a phone/computer, use the restrooms or fill some jugs of water, you are welcome to do so.. We even have a small shower if you need it. We plan to be here most of the day and it looks like NYSEG has updated the power outage in our area to last until 10pm tonight.. You can call or message us (it's not necessary), or just stop by.. Fingers crossed that power is restored soon.. ~John & Laurie

Well that was sketchy..! Nasty winds, branches everywhere, power is out, generator is screaming... I walked out under the patio tent when the wind hit to check on things, quickly decided that was a bad idea and scooted back inside.. Always good to have a generator at your venue.. Keeps the beer cold..!!!

Another awesome wedding on Saturday... Big one with ~175 guests.. Really fun group dancing from the start and all night.! (Our DJ loves to take credit for a great dancing group, but we all know that it's the bartenders who really deserve all the credit..!!).. See video of final song in the comments, the group stayed strong all night. Another very well done first dance (loving some of these this year). Also really loved the personalized table numbers for each table and we can't forget the "Sweet Potato" signature cocktail which was a big hit all night.. Fun times... Thank you and congratulations to Sophia & Matt..! We wish you the very best...

Doubled up this past weekend with another great wedding on Sunday (also rain free..!).. Tight group with lots of emotion during the ceremony and toasts.. Ceremonies done by friends are my favorites with such a personal connection.. Also lots of extra effort in the decorating here.. unfortunately my simple pictures didn't capture much of it.. A big congratulations to the latest Celebrations couple, Carlyn & Thomas..! Wishing you a long happy life together..!!

Yesterday started out wet but turned out awesome!! Rain stopped before the ceremony and then cleared even more in the evening.. It's always sunny 🌞 at Celebrations (we charge extra!).. Anyway, a 15yr anniversary celebration instead of a wedding yesterday..! It was awesome..! The ceremony was basically a story told by the B&G from how they met until now followed by some updated vows.. their 2nd "First Dance" was fantastic.. Original wedding album and pictures on display, giant donuts we sliced up for dessert, plenty of dancing and even a S'mores Bar at the firepit after dinner. Firepit was a big hit after the rainy day.. What a fun a couple, we Loved it..!! Congratulations Laura & CJ on 15 wonderful years and we wish you many more..!!
