Erica and Matt's Wedding


(photos to come)

What a beautiful wedding! When I first met Erica and Matt I knew we'd hit it off and I was more than thrilled to be a part of their team. The day started at 1pm with set up of 100 folding chairs outside. Luckily there was no rain, however it was the stickiest day I can remember since July. The set up was fast with the help of the catering crew, the facilities assistant, and members of the bridal party.

The reception, buffet, bar, guest book table etc all went up quickly and before I knew it, we were opening a box of colorful orange, purple, and red linens to drape the tables throughout the Cambridge Multi Cultural Arts Center (CMAC). Centerpieces quickly got placed on each table, table names were distributed, and place cards were alphabetized and put out for the guests.

It seemed like only moments later that I gathered the bridal processional and cued the DJ. A beautiful bride and groom said their vows in front of some of the most loving witnesses I've ever seen.

The food, wine and vodka flowed, people danced. Friends of the bride and groom did a skit in the middle of the dance floor with props, costumes, and a script. A first dance was had, and brownies were served.

Thanks to the catering team the cleanup went rapidly and we were all able to leave the facility before 11pm.



So, what were the Meaningful Details for Erica and Matt?

  • Bride, groom, bridal party, and parents all wore converse all stars in various shades.
  • Friends of the bride and groom made wild flower bouquets and arrangements to decorate the ceremony site.
  • Friends of the bride and groom decorated an old schwin bicycle built for two and surprised them for their photo-session
  • Spontaneous clapping, hooting, and hollering erupted during the processional, vows, and ring ceremony.
  • Costumes were provided to guests for the Polaroid guest book located just a few yards from the open bar
  • Delicious, vegetarian Spanish menu by J&L Catering

Congratulations Erica and Matt! Thank you for letting me a part of your special day!
