Gayla and Alex's Luncheon Launch

Gayla and Alex planned their Massachusetts wedding from across the country and still managed to have personal touches throughout the day.  Guests truly felt a part of their love and were so happy to celebrate with them.  

We were thrilled to support the planning of their wedding day, and are pleased to share this summary with photos from the fabulous E.P. Widor Photography. Eric had so many great photos that it was hard to choose our favorites!

Gayla spent the morning getting ready with her best friend and maid of honor, Caroline.  They visited Visions Salon to get their hair and makeup done before riding to the Sharon Community Center in a stylish limo provided by Rockstar Limo.  Meanwhile, we worked with Alex and his best man Corey to put the finishing touches on the wedding setup, including a handmade and custom-designed chuppah. Flowers were provided by Floral Fantasy in Stoughton.

Gayla and Alex prepared for their romantic first look overlooking Lake Massapoag.  After they saw each other for the first time, they returned inside to sign the Ketubah with their family as witness and Rabbi Julie Zupan officiating.  After the signing, it was time for the official ceremony. The bride and groom entered separately, each on the arm of their parents, while Alex's stepdad played the violin. Rabbi Zupan led a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony, concluding with the bride and groom smashing a glass in the Jewish custom. 

While Alex and Gayla took photos with their family, the guests got ready to mix and mingle at cocktail hour with food and beverage provided by Catering with Distinction and music from Stephen and Tony at TNY Entertainment. Finally, we opened the doors to the main hall and guests took their seats before the bride and groom were introduced into their first dance as husband and wife and the traditional Jewish hora dance.

Guests enjoyed a wonderful meal and a decadent dessert, including the couple's wedding cake.  They celebrated all afternoon together before heading out to the afterparty at Twenty8 Food and Spirits at the Renaissance Hotel.  It was truly a beautiful day for a wonderful couple and we loved every minute of it. Congratulations Gayla and Alex!
