Everything from the rehearsal dinner, to the ceremony, the reception and the lodging took place at Historic Hill House and Farm. I discovered the property after Tony and I had already narrowed our venue selection down to two beautiful choices. In fact, the first tour at Hill House, I did by myself. They were just starting to build the ballroom barn but the moment I pulled up I knew that this was our place. It had elements of both of us individually as well as us as a couple. The main house reminded me of the classic architecture I grew up around in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The house built in the mid 1800's had original windows which have the wavy look that windows get as they dramatically age. The twos barns being used to build the venue were antique barns, one from Pennsylvania and were being reassembled using the original pegs (not nails, pegs!) which I knew would appeal to Tony. The 149 acres of property and secluded appealed to us both. And not only did the property suit us perfectly, but we ended up suiting the owners vision as well. As soon as he saw Tony's website, he wanted to meet Tony to discuss contracting his services. (But more on that later).
Tony even did a little last minute sewing for Elijah!
They loved getting to wear their "I love you , son" pocket watches that Tony and I had given them the night before at the rehersal dinner
My handsome groom getting himself ready now that the boys were dressed.
And now time for finishing touches on vows!
Meanwhile at the main house.....
Everyone was chasing me down because I was still putting finishing touches on the decor....
My amazing bridesmaid, Morgan snuck over to the guys to put the boutonniere on her guy, groomsman, Jim.
Jim apparently put boutonnieres on everyone else.
Morgan spent about a quarter of the day under my dress
Elijah was so thrilled with his new pocket watch
