Emily & Nick’s Intimate Concorde Banquets Wedding

Emily and Nick are OFFICIALLY our LAST Covid-couple! It’s worth noting because after years of re-schedules we are thrilled to say that we are now fully back to “normal” around here and so thankful! Emily and Nick were originally supposed to get married in May of 2021, when the “shelter in place” hit the Spring before Emily called to let us know that they were going to hold off on their wedding until May of 2023. At the time we were certainly surprised that they would want to wait that long, but Emily’s foresight meant that they could have the wedding of their dreams without a worry about the pandemic.

As it turned out, good things come to those who wait. Emily and Nick’s wedding day was truly perfect, Christy and I were so thankful to be a part of it. And our friend Ashley was thrilled to be along as Emily and Nick’s day-of coordinator! Every detail at the gorgeous Concorde Banquets came together perfectly, we were especially in love with the stunning florals by our friends at Blooming Flowers. They always do such an amazing job, but the bouquets and arrangements for Emily and Nick’s wedding were particularly gorgeous!

Emily and Nick have such a sweet relationship, I don’t know if we have ever spent time with a groom who was so in love with his bride. Nick kept giving Emily so much affection and credit for every aspect of their wedding day, he even complimented her on choosing a wedding date with such gorgeous weather! These two are too cute together, it was a joy to be with them as they exchanged their emotional vows and became husband and wife! It was truly a perfect day that we won’t soon forget!

Congratulations, Emily and Nick, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Maya & Joe’s Unforgettable Chevy Chase Wedding

Maya and Joe are simply perfect for one another. Meeting them first over Zoom it was apparent that they are deeply in love, their smiles and care for one another radiated through the screen . . .

Maya and Joe are simply perfect for one another. Meeting them first over Zoom it was apparent that they are deeply in love, their smiles and care for one another radiated through the screen. We were so happy to meet them in person for their Spring wedding at Chevy Chase Country Club!

Maya looked gorgeous as she got ready alongside her family, it was beautiful to watch her reconnect with her sister from Venezuela who she had not seen for years. Joe was all smiles as he put the finishing touches on his classic white tux jacket in the bar outside the Grand Ballroom at Chevy Chase. After Maya was dressed in her gorgeous lace gown she went outside for her “first look” with Joe. The joy between these two was infectious, they were both beaming all day from the moment they first saw each other

As we were finishing family photos a band of impeccably dressed mariachis came to serenade us before the ceremony. The mariachi then led Maya into the ceremony in grand fashion, she was glowing as the guests looked on. Joe surprised Maya and everyone in attendance by reading his personal vows in both English and Spanish. Once they were pronounced husband and wife Maya and Joe joyfully walked back down the aisle surrounded by bubbles and music.

One of the highlights for us was watching Joe sing his heart out along with the mariachi during cocktail hour. We were impressed by how many of the songs he knew and how great his singing voice was!! Joe may just have a future in the mariachi industry!

After a gorgeous sunset we settled into the Grand Ballroom for a night of emotional toasts, delicious food and dancing. During the reception we were treated to an amazing flamenco performance (Maya used to be a flamenco dancer!) It was an unforgettable wedding, we were truly honored to be a part of it!!
