Congratulations Maggie & Tim!
Last week we had the pleasure of coordinating Maggie & Tim’s big day! Maggie and Tim are a special pair because they’re both pilots in the Navy. Now that they’re hitched they’ll finally be stationed together!
Since our bride lives on an aircraft carrier most of the time, I worked with her mom Janet to pull the last details together. Luckily we had an all-star cast of vendors so my job wasn’t too hard. Meadowlark was the venue of choice. Here’s Main Event setting up the beautiful ivory and gold linens we selected:
Alison, their sales manager, is there on the right. I love that Main Event’s ‘corporate’ people get hands-on with the setup. Working with Alison was a breeze and I will definitely be recommending her to more clients!
Here’s the gorgeous ceremony, held outside. Eugene and his Signature String Quartet provided great live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour:
Photographer Anne Lord doing her thing during cocktail hour. I’ll share more professional photographs later if she sends me some! Can you believe Maggie flies helicopters and lives on an aircraft carrier? She looks so dainty and girly in person but this girl must be a force to be reckoned with when you get her in a pilot’s seat. Awesome!
The combination of the natural wood chivari chairs, the white and gold linen, and the hot pink flowers all came together really nicely. Cute!
I really like the way Main Event sets up their buffets. It’s a non-traditional twist on the standard ‘row of chafing dishes’ you see at most hotels and banquet facilities. We reused the ceremony flowers from Karin’s Florist as a HUGE centerpiece on the buffet:

Eddie Grant from Davis Deejays kept the dance floor full all night long. If you decide to book with Davis, please recommend Eddie!

Congratulations again, Maggie & Tim! I hope you’re having a fabulous time on your honeymoon and that you stationed somewhere wonderful together. Thank you for serving our country!
