Damon and Carolina wanted their wedding to take place in nature...and they wanted the food to be good. So they selected Blue Hill at Stone Barns as the site for their ceremony and reception. You've seen the place on the Food Network...and the food was indeed exceptional.
The weather threatened, so the ceremony was inside...but all present could see into the fields through a huge window. The abundance, sustainability, and nurturing aspects of the farm were just the right backdrop for this couple who shared personal vows they had written themselves.
I learned about a type of guitar music from their musician, Alex Simon,...django, named for the 1920s guitarist Django Reinhardt...makes you tap your toes and smile. Check out Alex' music!
Ceremony Tip: A small ceremony doesn't require amplified sound. Non-amplified voices make the ceremony seem intimate and warm - which I think was the case for this ceremony. I really like to do a ceremony without a mike. However, with a larger group of guests, you do need to plan on a sound system. Put that into your planning so the system allows flexibilty for the speakers in the ceremony and makes it possible for all your guests to hear what is being said. Your musicians or the venue will be your best resource for sound.
Julie Laudicina,Celebrant!
