Entertainment Tonight!








Lisa and Michael were married under the grand tent at Reunion Resort overlooking their spectacular golf course. Instead of setting the chairs up in rows, they set them up in the round, so they were standing in the center of the tent with their loved ones surrounding them. It was such an intimate feel and so beautiful! After the ceremony, the guests were invited into the luxurious lobby for a cocktail hour while the bride and groom finished their pictures. The bride's father owns a cheese company where he imports cheeses from all over the world. They had the most unique cheese display I have ever seen! They stacked whole wheels of different types of cheeses to make a cheese "wedding cake", and then surrounded the sculpture with wedges of cheeses in different varieties and accompaniments like crackers and fruits. It was gorgeous! You can see a picture of it above, taken on my phone camera. Then, guests were escorted into the stunning ballroom for the dinner reception. Robert J. Kramer designed all the floral elements of the evening, including the amazing centerpieces on the guest dining tables. There were 3 different types of centerpieces in varying heights, but there was one common theme to pull them all together. The bride and groom are television and film connoisseurs, so the centerpieces included actual strips of film woven throughout the flowers. Instead of table numbers, they made cards with their favorite television show posters on them. Guests were sat at tables with names like, Grey's Anatomy and How I Met Your Mother. On the back of each card, they made trivia questions for each t.v. show with the answers next to them, so when guests were waiting for their turn for the food stations, they could play a fun game. Too cute! Speaking of the food stations, Reunion did an amazing job with Suzanne Troutt overseeing the evening. They had a chef manned pasta station with 3 different types of pastas and sauces and a carving station with beef and salmon. Even the salad bar was beautifully set. After dinner, guests danced the night away to music played by Bruce Walrod from Orlando's Got Talent. To end the evening with something sweet, guests were given cupcakes made by the amazing Party Flavors. They were set up on a small round table with a raised round glass piece floating above the table. Under the glass piece were flowers and lights. Votive candles surrounded the cupcake tower on the top of the glass piece. Shutterbooth provided a fun way for guests to let the bride and groom know they were there. They had their pictures taken in the photo booth, then 2 strips of the photos printed out. One strip was for the guest to take home and the other went into a scrap book for the bride and groom's guest book. The guests signed their names next to their pictures and included a well wish for the newlyweds. The whole night was captured in beautiful photos by Christopher Visuals. Congratulations to Lisa and Michael!
