Good Morning Darlings!
My dear friends Jay & Valerie got married on Thursday. My gift to them was to help coordinate their reception, which was held this past Saturday night.
It went off without a hitch. Except that Jay & Valerie got hitched…but you already know that.
The venue – an incredible rooftop space in Castleberry Hills. You could see all the landmarks from this swanky roof in downtown Atlanta – Coca-Cola, Georgia Dome, Kennesaw Mountain, the Westin. It was really gorgeous.
The wedding cupcakes – Vanessa Bonen at Sugar Bonen created the luscious vanilla cake/seven minute frosting cupcakes. They were glorious!
The caterer – Chef Richard Bradford and his amazing crew from RSB Catering bowled me over with their willingness to help with every detail. You all are fab!
The music – DJ Dave Chait provided the mix that kept everyone on their feet.
And now – the photos!
