University Center Club Wedding Ceremony Tallahassee

University Center Club Wedding Ceremony Tallahassee

Music

I love all things wedding; especially wedding ceremonies. I also love Florida State University. So when Ryan and Danielle asked me to officiate their University Center Club Wedding Ceremony Tallahassee overlooking the Florida State University stadium, I was SUPER excited!!!

Ryan and Danielle are a great couple and were so much fun to work with. We decided to incorporate their fun young loving personalities into their wedding ceremony.  Danielle and Ryan both graduated from FSU so they were really excited to have a University Center Club Wedding Ceremony Tallahassee.

Legally married and SO excited!

The reception was held inside the University Center Club and the ceremony was outside on the patio. The ceremony chairs were placed so guests looked out onto the Tallahassee skyline and behind them was the football field. It was a really neat way to incorporate their love for FSU and Tallahassee into the wedding and ceremony.

Danielle’s Dad walked her down the aisle. Being that their wedding was Mother’s Day, May 10, I started the ceremony started off with a welcome then a surprise thank you to their Mom’s. They presented them each with a rose and both Mom’s were so surprised and touched! The ceremony continued on with a little story about Danielle and Ryan’s love and adventure in life which I segwayed into a unity beer ceremony. I had seen the unity beer ceremony online but had never had a couple want to do so I was really excited that Ryan and Danielle wanted to incorporate this into their ceremony. While backpacking through Europe they had a drink where with half Sprite and half beer so this is what we did for their unity beer ceremony.

After the ceremony, guests went inside UCC to get out of the heat and family and bridal party went to take pictures outside the stadium.

I always encourage couples to have fun with their wedding ceremony and it makes me so happy when a couple like Danielle and Ryan truly do have fun and enjoy the ceremony.

Tallahassee Wedding Officiant: Lichgate On High Rd Wedding

Tallahassee Wedding Officiant: Lichgate On High Rd Wedding

News

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Lichgate on High Rd. is a beautiful hidden gem in Tallahassee, Florida. As a Tallahassee Wedding Officiant, I LOVE having opportunities to frequent Lichgate on High Rd. Lichgate is located on High Rd. (duh) in between Tharpe St. and Tennessee St. If you blink you’ll miss it! They have a tiny poll out front where a driveway is. It’s the perfect location for weddings- small or large. As a Tallahassee Wedding Officiant, I have performed small weddings with just 2 people, a large wedding with 100 guests, and medium size weddings with 30-50 guests. The park is large enough that anything will work and be beautiful. When you booked a Lichgate on High Rd wedding the park is closed for you! So it’s a beautiful intimate setting. The volunteers that run Lichgate on High Rd are very friendly, helpful, and willing to work with you to make your experience at Lichgate remarkable.

On Saturday, November 1, 2014 I have the honor of being Brian and Julie’s Tallahassee Wedding Officiant for their Lichgate on High Rd wedding. The day was a bit colder than they were hoping for BUT it was beautiful and sunny. They had about 50 guests in attendance. White chairs were lined up under the big oak tree that makes Lichgate on High Rd special. Rose pedals lined the isle. A big white tent was setup with tables, chairs, heaters, and a dance floor for the reception. It was truly a beautiful beautiful setup for a wedding. Our friend Sweet Cakes by Alisha made their gorgeous cupcake cake. The wedding ceremony was short and sweet. Brian’s son walked down the isle with the runs then Julie’s dad walked her down the isle. Everyone was joyeous. At the end of the ceremony, I asked everyone to blow their bubbles (a small bubble pack was on everyone’s chair) so when Brian and Julie happily walked down the isle as newly weds bubbles blew threw the air…it was fun! I loved working with Julie and Brian and wish them many many years of happiness!!
