Luxmore Grande Estate: Samantha & Joey's Spring Wedding

At the end of March 2019, we joined Samantha and Joey for their charming spring wedding at the Luxmore Grande Estate. We loved helping bring their vision to life, including lots of beautifully-crafted DIY elements provided by Samantha. It was a beautiful day, and we’re thankful to KV Photography for the opportunity to share it with you!

Samantha began her day getting ready with her bridesmaids, all in matching robes. We loved our bride in her gorgeous strapless gown with a cascading train. Meanwhile, Joey got ready downstairs with his groomsmen, pinning on their simple boutonnieres from Flowers by Lesley.

Samantha and Joey then met for their first look. We loved seeing the looks on their faces as they saw each other, their first moment together on their big day. They even shared an adorable photo with their beloved dog! Before hiding away, they brought in the wedding party for a couple photos together. Soon it was time to hide, as guests began to arrive!

Guests made their way to the indoor ceremony setup, with a gorgeous floral archway at the front from Flowers by Lesley. As they entered, the mothers of the bride and groom lit the two candles that would light the unity candle. Samantha made her way down the aisle to Joey, exchanged vows, and shared in a unity candle ceremony. The two kissed and were pronounced husband and wife!

As guests enjoyed cocktail hour, the space was transformed for the reception. We loved all the DIY touches that these two added, from the seating chart built on planks of wood, to the “Selfie Station” photo booth with a custom backdrop, handmade props, and an Instax camera ready to go.

The reception space was absolutely gorgeous, with lots of accents of gold among the pink and blue. We loved the gorgeous geometric centerpieces provided by Flowers by Lesley. The favors were a really fun DIY touch – the groom created his own flavors of hot sauce, which they bottled with a custom-made Bitmoji label. At the end of the room, the gorgeous multi-tiered cake from Bakers Cottage Cakes featured a beautiful cascade of florals and greenery.

The reception began with Samantha and Joey’s first dance, followed by a welcome speech and toasts from loved ones. The newlyweds then shared dances with their mothers, Samantha and her mother performing a fun choreographed number. Dinner was served by Big City Catering. Our bride and groom then danced the night away with their guests, led by the DJ from Orlando DJ Group.

Guests took a break from dancing and selfies to watch Samantha and Joey cut their cake, attempt to catch the bouquet and enjoy the surprise late-night stir fry bar served by Big City Catering. The night ended with a last dance between Samantha and Joey, who were then sent off with a beautiful grand sparkler exit.

Congratulations to Samantha and Joey, and thank you for choosing us to be a part of your big day!

The day of the wedding, she made sure everything was taken care of, resulting in a stress-free day for everyone in the bridal party including the parents of the bride and groom. She ensured everything ran smoothly and according to the timeline and did an amazing job of getting everyone set up for our grand sparkler exit. We know our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without Christy's help, and we are so glad we hired her!

Christy is an incredible wedding planner! I loved her wedding day timeline. She organized all of my vendors, and made sure everything about the wedding day ran smoothly, on time and stress/worry free. I couldn't have even imagined my day would have turned out as perfect as it did. Thank you so much Christy! If you are even remotely considering hiring a planner to help you with part of or all of your wedding...DO IT! And pick Anna Christine Events, her and her sister Laura are THE BEST!

Christy was a fantastic wedding coordinator! I absolutely loved working with her. I was looking for a day of coordinator because I was already planning my wedding and really wanted someone to just take over for the last month. I chose the package where I could call/email her if I had any questions leading up to the wedding and it came in handy. The package was affordable and what we were looking for. When we spoke on the phone I instantly knew I wanted to book her because she has a very calm demeanor. I have spoken to other wedding planners and some of them were so high strung it was stressing me out just talking to them! I passed off everything to her month of and everything went off without a hitch. Anytime we needed anything during the wedding she was right there waiting for us and willing to help. I can’t recommend her enough!

There are not enough words to express our gratitude towards Christy! She is beyond amazing and was made to be a wedding coordinator! Her ability to adapt and come up with solutions that make everyone happy is a true gift. She was my therapist and knew exactly how to decrease my stress and anxiety. Christy and her sister Laura truly made our day magical and allowed us to enjoy it!

I cannot say enough good things about Christy, Laura, and their team. We had some challenges at our wedding (guests, weather, etc) and they handled it all like champs and kept the party going. I had day of services and felt comfortable handing everything over and knowing it was in good hands. I'm grateful they were there and I would recommend them to anyone.

We had the pleasure of having Laura as our Day Of Coordinator for our wedding at Casa Feliz. Laura knows her stuff, not to mention this venue. She's BEYOND sweet and always looking out for the bride and groom on their day. If something needed to be changed around, it was always a smooth transition. There is not a single issue we can think of that happened on the wedding day, nor during the wedding planning process. Laura kept in contact with every single vendor, not to mention a last minute vendor we brought on board less than a week from the wedding day. EVERYTHING was perfect, we will never forget this day! I highly recommend both Laura and Christy they are fantastic ladies!

Christy was amazing from start to finish. We brought on a planner part way through planning and she geared us in the right direction from the start. She listened and understood our vision. She worked to make the wedding exactly what we wanted. And even when we hit a snag with our venue, Christy guided us through what would have been a super stressful time, to the perfect event.
