Ashley and Gary’s Wedding

Ashley and Gary’s ceremony took place this past Saturday…a beautiful, warm, spring afternoon in Oneonta.

The festivities were held at the lovely Twin Oaks at Heritage golf course.  This was Perfect Events Music’s first experience with Heritage and we were quite impressed by the setting and the facilities.  The course is nestled in a mountain-surrounded valley with numerous spring-fed lakes throughout the grounds.  This is the height of the blossom season and the dogwoods and azaleas did not disappoint!   Guests gathered on the club-house terrace for Ashley and Gary’s ceremony, and then recessed indoors for a celebration featuring heavy hors d’ouvres.

Ceremony music was provided by our Dolce Duo.  Vocal selections included “Surely the Presence,” “How Beautiful,” “When God Made You,” and “I’ll Be There.”  Vocalists Lisa, Mary Beth, Jordan and Jackson all did a great job!  The family was seated to Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.”  The three bridesmaids made their entrance to Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” and Wagner’s Bridal Chorus accompanied Ashley’s walk to the altar.

We enjoyed the service as presented by Reverend Tony Jones.  A technical note here:  I think everyone in attendance appreciated the fact that they could actually hear Reverend Jones’s words, the couple’s vows and the music!  Microphones and a sound system are especially important for an outdoor service!  We are pleased that that Ashley and Gary had considered this during their wedding planning.

Ashley and Gary looked so very happy on their special day!  We wish them the very best in their new journey as husband and wife!
