Early Fall Wedding at Great Marsh Estate

Venue: Great Marsh Estate
DJ: Craig Wood
Catering: Serendipity Catering
Florals: Tiffany Cross, Leroy French Flowers

Would you ever guess that this gorgeous day happened during the middle of a literal hurricane? I bet not!! That’s the beauty of choosing a venue that has many options for all seasons, such as the stunning Great Marsh Estate in Virginia. The grand house provides so many unique and lovely nooks for portraits, and the reception hall easily hosts ceremonies, then flips to reception seamlessly. Sam and Willie gave me total trust to still make magic, despite the change in plans - and magic we did make!
