Christine and Jeff celebrated their wedding on a really windy August day surrounded by friends and family with a tented wedding at the LBIF. They filled their celebration with love, tradition and family (that’s the wedding trifecta, people!). And boy was it a party! My favorite moment, when Chrissie got up on stage and sang with the band. She sang with the band!!! I was filled with love and adoration. Let me tell you, I have had many a fantasy about singing up on stage. The sad part: this wedding planner can not sing. At. All. But Chissie, she belted one out!!! And I was in awe. So were her guests. And the look on Jeff’s face… priceless!

In addition to heart-warming moments, beautiful toasts, and a bit of wind, their wedding day was full of adorable details like an antique suit case loaded with flowers and farm tables covered in greenery, potted herbs, and simple light blue linen napkins.
