WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE DANVERSPORT AND THE BALLROOM SPECIFICALLY? The elegance of the Harbor Ballroom and the location made Danversport the best choice!
HOW MANY GUESTS WERE IN ATTENDANCE ROUGHLY? 215 guests attended our wedding
WHAT MENU DID YOU CHOOSE FOR CATERING? We offered the Prime Rib and Statler Chicken for the entree. Although I had the chicken fingers 🙂 Our beautiful cake was done by Cakes for Occasions and our fantastic groom’s cake was done by Flourish Bake Shoppe.
WHAT WAS THE MOST MAGICAL MOMENT OF THE WEDDING FOR YOU? The most magical part about our wedding was finally becoming a “family” and being able to celebrate with the people we love most.
DID YOU HAVE A WEDDING THEME OR WEDDING COORDINATOR? I didn’t really have a theme per say. I just wanted it to be elegant and executed perfectly. Which it was. Our colors were navy with hints of silver and gold. Our coordinator was Ron and he did great. The entire staff was amazing!
WHAT STYLE WAS YOUR DRESS? I wore an Allure bridal gown from Alexandra’s Boutique.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST DANCE SONG CHOICE?
Our first dance with our children was to Beauty and the Beast by Mrs. Potts and our first dance as a couple was a mashup of Perfect/Can’t Help Falling in Love by Joey Stamper.
