Ashley & Marques

Marques is all about Ashley - I love it! Ashley is beautiful, kind and unassuming. All she wanted was an outdoor wedding at Norfolk Botanical Garden's Renaissance Court. The weather was magnificent on Saturday for the rehearsal! I have never seen the garden lovelier. The wedding took place on Sunday - misty, rainy, a mess.
Of course, we had a rain plan - the reception site, Lesner Inn. We gave the bride as much time as possible to make the weather call. Once the decision was made to move the ceremony there were lots of things to be done: Call the garden, the Lesner Inn, the minister, the limo driver, photographer, and ceremony musician. The pre-arranged guest notification was accomplished with rain plan cards informing guests of the new ceremony location and time.
Amy Templeton and the staff at Lesner were ready for us when we got there. Our combined teams were able to respond quickly when the wind died down and we were able to give the couple the open air wedding that they always wanted. A good time was had by all.
