On Saturday we were at the Longue Vue Club in Verona Pennsylvania. The event was a wedding reception for Matthew and Lauren Perri. Lauren and Matthew were married at 3:30 pm at the Northmont Presbyterian Church in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Guests began arriving at the Longue Vue Club shortly after 5:00 pm where they enjoyed cocktails and appetizers as the bridal party posed for photographs with Rachel of Rachel Tokarski Photography. At 6:30 pm guests transitioned from the living room and outdoor patio to the main ballroom, where the remainder of the reception was held. After the introduction of the bridal party, Lauren and Matthew cut their wedding cake prior to dinner.
