Shannon & Zac's September 24th Wedding
All of the wood knocking worked for Zac. All day I would tell him that it wasn't going to rain and he would make everyone knock on wood. I'm happy to say that Shannon & Zac had NO rain for their entire wedding day! The weather was perfect with the over cast skies. Shannon & Zac were married by Erik Bonkovsky after a 7 1/2 year relationship on September 24th, 2011 at Keswick Vineyards. Shannon was escorted down the aisle by her father while harpist Eve Watters played. Some of the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces were done by Blue Ridge Florist. Guests enjoyed food prepared by Groovin' Gourmet out of Richmond and played yard games while photographer Don Mears and his wife Lindsay took photo's of the couple and their families. After dinner the guests danced the night away under the Sperry tent with DJ Derek Tobler. The evening was spectacular and a special thanks for the crew from Barb Wired for handling all the details to make Shannon & Zac's wedding a day they will never forget. Congratulations!

Erin & Levi's Wedding
On September 17th, 2011, Erin & Levi were married by Rev. Richard Fichter at Keswick Vineyards. Erin had worried for the past week regarding the cold front and rain that was heading our way. She prayed and prayed and her prayers were answered. What a beautiful day her and Levi had for their all outdoor ceremony and reception. It was like her prayers were answered when the sun peaked out from behind the clouds right when her ceremony began. Erin shared with me a story of how her and Levi had burried a bottle of bourbon, upside down, that is suppose to give you good weather on your wedding day if you do this exactly a month before your wedding day. Looks like that worked! The overcast skies made it a dream for photographer Cat Thrasher as she captured every moment of the evening. Guests enjoyed food prepared by 20 South Catering and dance the night away under the command of DJ T.D. Layman. Special thanks to Verde Natural Florals, MS Events and Barb Wired.

Laura & Ryan's August Wedding
On August 6, 2011, Laura and Ryan were married at Keswick Vineyards located just outside of Charlottesville. The bride was given away by her father while her immediate wedding party of 26 bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls and ring bearer watched on. Brooke Deszio played the keyboard for the ceremony and cocktail hour while family friend, Dr. William Teague, performed the service. Pat's Florist provided the beautiful floral arrangements and bouquets. Guest gathered for the reception under the Sperry tent while enjoying food prepared by Have Food Will Travel catering. Once dinner was completed it was time to dance the evening away to music provided by DJ Andy Wilfong. All of these moments were captured by photographer William Walker. Thank you also to Barb Wired for their event planning.

Allison & Mark's "Metro" wedding
9-10-11 was one of the most popular dates to get married on this year. It was only fitting that a special couple with a unique way of meeting each other was able to have their wedding reception at Keswick Vineyards. Allison & Mark met on the Metro train by chance. Allison got on the wrong train and ended up sitting next to Mark. One stop before Mark was to get off, Allison grabbed his cell phone and punch her phone number into it. 48 hours later they had their first date and have been together ever since. It was only fitting that the theme for their wedding be the "Metro train". Centerpieces for the tables were made by Allison's father and were post with the name of a station. Of course, their sweetheart table had the station they met at; Farragut West. The bridesmaids wore a pewter color dress while the groomsmen wore yellow ties to accent their suits. Beautiful bouquets of sunflowers added to the brightness. 20 South did the catering and Barb Wired was used for event planning. Congratulations to Allison & Mark!

Ashley & Justin's Wedding
On September 4th, 2011, Ashley (goes by the name Cassie) and Justin celebrated with family and friends their wedding at Keswick Vineyards. Cassie and Justin are true soul mates. They have been together for over 13 years! Childhood sweethearts, they can't remember a time when they didn't have each other in each other lives. It was a beautiful ceremony taking place just in front of the vineyard. Cassie had purchased a mantel that her father refurbished to be used for the ceremony. Cassie chose such soft and neutral colors for her reception. She had lots of khaki and neutrals with soft pinks and pops of light aqua. Simply elegant! Special thanks to 20 South catering, Eric Kelley photography, Lora Kelley for make-up & hair, Jennifer Hamlin of Events with Panache, celebrant Virginia Moore, and Albemarle Baking Company.

Lauren & Danny's September Wedding
It had almost been a year since Lauren and Danny chose Keswick Vineyards to host their wedding. On September 3rd, 2011, that day finally came and what a beautiful day they had chosen for an all outdoor ceremony and reception. Lauren had chosen royal blue for her bridesmaids dresses and boy did they look spectacular against the dark black tuxedos the groomsmen wore. Wedding planner Amanda Dickinson handled all of the details that day/night to make sure Lauren & Danny had their dream wedding. DJ Tony Fernandez did such a fantastic job as DJ for the evening. He had that dance floor packed all night long! Special thanks to photographer Danielle Maverick, flowers by Scarlett Snead and cake by Teri Edwards.
