A Love That Blossomed Over Time

Alyssa and Eric’s love story began in a modern way—on a dating app. Shortly after Alyssa moved to Vermont, she connected with Eric, and the two quickly hit it off. After seven years together, Alyssa and Eric’s relationship has been filled with countless shared memories and experiences, making it difficult for either of them to pinpoint a single moment when they realized the other was “the one.” For Eric, it was a series of meaningful moments, from moving into their first apartment together to adopting their beloved cats, that confirmed Alyssa was his perfect match.

A Simple, Elegant Celebration

Eric and Alyssa envisioned their wedding day as a perfect blend of simplicity, elegance, and quality.

The couple knew exactly what they wanted—a formal yet approachable atmosphere, where guests could enjoy good food, seamless service, and top-notch entertainment.

From the beginning, Eric and Alyssa emphasized the importance of creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for their guests. “We would like good food, not a lot of waiting time, and quality entertainment for the guests,” Alyssa shared. With this in mind, Emily and her team focused on crafting a celebration that combined delicious cuisine with a smooth flow, ensuring that everyone could relax, have fun, and make lasting memories.
