On Saturday we were at one of our favorite wedding venues, Pinehall at Eisler Farms. The event was a wedding ceremony and wedding reception for Kelsie and John. Kelsie and John were married outside at Pinehall. Guests began arriving at Pinehall at 4:00 pm as we played prelude music prior to the start of the wedding ceremony. The ceremony started at 4:30 pm and was presided over by Pastor Tom Jones.
After a 20 minute ceremony, guests transitioned to the field where they enjoyed cocktails and appetizers as the bridal party posed for photographs. At 6:15 pm we formally introduced the bridal party into the barn and then several toasts were offered prior to dinner. Dinner was prepared by the staff at Stephen’s Catering and was served buffet style.
After dinner, Kelsie and John cut their wedding cake and then shared in their first dance together as husband and wife to the song Forever and Ever by Randy Travis. Next, the newlyweds danced with the bridal party and then Kelsie danced with her father and John danced with his mother before we opened up the dance floor. Throughout the remainder of the evening, guests danced to the sounds of DJ Pifemaster until the wedding reception ended at 10:00 pm.
