A Garden Ceremony

My very good friends Elaine and Mike got married last month and I offered to help with the ceremony logistics. I didn't do too much, but to her it meant a lot. That morning I picked up some of her flowers and the chairs to be set up at the ceremony. Upon my arrival at the Rose Garden in Hamden, which was MAGNIFICENT by the way, I set up 20 chairs for guests right in front of the trellis. In addition, I set up a little table and the Unity Candle inside the trellis area and a basket with the programs. I also played "DJ" for the ceremony and controlled the music for her. My husband and I were guests at the reception that followed at the beautiful Country House in East Haven.

Congratulations to Elaine & Mike! Love you guys!

Thanks so much to David Apuzzo Photography for supplying these awesome pictures!

Carisa Lockery from CR Socials was the peace of mind I needed on my special day. Carisa took care of my ceremony, making sure everything ran smoothly & picture perfect. I was able to breathe easy knowing she had everything in control. From chair set up and decor to the beautiful music that played, Carisa did it flawlessly. She also did some running around for me, and as little as it may seem to her, was such a big help to me. I highly recommend Carisa to any bride looking for her perfect day! She is responsible, caring, energetic and creative and just a pleasure to work with!!!! Thank you Carisa from the bottom of my heart for all your help, advise and attention to detail.....wedding planning is definitely your calling & I will definitely tell everyone I know!
