Kelly & Patrick’s Wedding

September 20, 2008

The Wedding Ceremony of Kelly Ann Celecz to Patrick McFadden Brennan, took place on Saturday September 20, 2008 at the beautiful Lagoon located in historic Bristol, PennsylvaniaCocktails and the reception followed at a simple venue that Galas turned into a glamorously chic space for this classy event.  Taking a basic “neighborhood hall” from drab to fab, this remarkable room transformation on a budget shows every bride that her wedding can be a enchanting, classy Gala!

Kelly’s Morning began at the Bucks County Sheraton Hotel where she was awakened by Strawberry Mimosas and freshly baked treats, complements of Galas In Home Event Planning.  Once she and her friends toasted the day, she was then treated to a morning of pampering as she was visited by her hair and makeup stylists.

While Kelly was transforming into a princess, Galas was busy behind the scenes creating her dream!  Once the tables where dressed, Briana Lafferty, Galas Executive Coordinator, constructed the centerpieces.  Having a coordinator create centerpieces, in lieu of florist is a great way for a bride to save! As The Galas Team was hard at work turning Kelly & Patrick’s dream into reality, they made sure no details where overlooked...

  ...they even checked the wedding bubbles!
 Once every chair was placed and every bow was tied it was time to start the show!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Ceremony

      The historic stone gazebo was adorned with a memorial table remembering passed relatives and friends of the bride and groom.  The colors chosen for this wedding where black and white with accent shades of pink champagne.

As guests arrived to the ceremony, they where greeted at the Lagoon Bridge with ribbon tied programs and pink bubbles and then escorted down the scenic path to their seat while music and the sound of the fountain echoed through the air.

    The procession began with the groom and groomsmen walking down the isle to “at Last” by Etta James.  As the mothers of the Bride and groom where escorted down the isle, soloist Jeffrey Petro, sung a magnificent version of “Con Te Partiro” followed by the bridesmaids leading the bride and her father down the isle to “And I Love Her” by the Beatles.  It was a flawless and beautiful ceremony! 

 

    After Kelly and Patrick exchanged vows and kissed, they took their first steps as husband and wife while the classic “Moon River” played throughout the lagoon.  And then it was time to celebrate!

The Reception

      Kelly’s dream was to have a sleek and chic, ‘Sex and the City” inspired reception and that is exactly what she had.The tables where dressed with custom pink menus wrapped in black linen napkins done by Galas.  The centerpieces, arranged by galas, consisted of white and pink roses place in a crystal filled glass cube, illuminated by a pink water light. 

Each centerpiece was placed on a round mirror, surrounded by pink rose petals and candle light.     The chairs where covered in elegant black linen and tied with silk pink sashes.  The couples monogram made out of fresh rose petals was the focal point of the dance floor.

For favors, Kelly and Patrick offered cigars, complete with personalized matches and cutters, for the gentlemen and

personalized Cosmopolitan mix for the ladies.

 the signature drink of the evening was of course The Cosmopolitan.

 

 

    Not a single detail was overlooked!  Galas even provided Guest baskets full of amenities in the ladies room and men’s room as well as a overflowing basket of goodies for the children in the wedding.  Kelly and Patrick had their dream wedding and it was truly a Gala!

Congratulations to the new

Mr. & Mrs. Patrick Brennan!
