What made you choose Danversport, and this venue/room specifically?
As soon as we stepped foot on the property, we knew! The grounds were so well kept and the scenery was perfect. The ballrooms were all magical and when we settled on which event space we liked most, we knew it was right! It was very intimate and the decor inside was beautiful.

What did you offer for food/drink catering?
We offered the signature appetizer package along with the Italian wedding soup and harvest salad. Salmon and filet mignon were served as the main dishes. It was all so delicious!
What was the most magical, moving, or special part of the wedding for you?
Everything!
After being together for six years and planning everything for over a year, the day was so magical and it was most definitely worth the wait. Having all the important people close to us there made it even more special.
What was the song you danced to for your first dance?
We danced to “Marry Me” by Train. It was the song played while he proposed. It was such a special moment.
Did your wedding have a theme?
Since fall is my favorite season, we chose colors that fit the fall theme – oranges, blues, and gold. It all came together perfectly.
What style was your dress?
My dress was a strapless, lace, corset ballgown. It fit the “romantic” vibe I was looking for perfectly.
Who walked you down the aisle?
My father walked me down the aisle.
What are/were your plans for your honeymoon?
We went up to New Hampshire which was beautiful during the fall. We went on so many adventures and enjoyed the peace and quiet in our gorgeous inn.

Congratulations to Shayna and Ajani as they begin their life’s journey together. We are so happy that we were able to be a part of your special day. We wish them much happiness in the years ahead.
