Resort Wedding


For the family and the wedding party, it was like a destination wedding without the airplane ride. Garrett and Kimberly's wedding at Crystal Springs Resort near Vernon, NJ, was like going to another place...sunny skies, long mountain vistas, dramatic architecture.


Ceremony Tip: Kimberly and Garrett incorporated a wine ritual in their ceremony to compliment the wine theme of their reception. Each of them picked out a bottle of wine they thought the other would like. I prepared a keepsake copy of their marriage vows. The wine and the vows were placed in a wooden box during the ceremony. The box will be sealed and then opened on their Firth Anniversary. This ritual tied the ceremony to their reception theme, and it provides a link from this day to a special day in their future. "The Wine in the Box" is something for them to look forward to, a reminder of their beautiful wedding day out in the hills of New Jersey.

Julie Laudicina, Celebrant!
