Romantic June Stone Manor Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Jenn + Dom

Jenn and Dom met in middle school but didn’t connect until their senior year in high school. “ We spent the whole summer getting to know each other, and then in the fall our relationship began.”

Dom proposed to Jenn while they were visiting family in Calabria Italy for a wedding. “A few days before our trip ended he brought me down to my favorite spot on the coast in Scilla and under the moon and stars overlooking Calabria and Sicily he asked me to marry him.”

225 guests were in attendance for their June Stone Manor wedding, including eight bridesmaids and eight groomsmen. “My parents gifted me a horse and carriage ride for the ceremony entrance, it was a fairytale beginning. We had a friend marry us because we wanted someone who knew us. Our closest friends stood by our side. It was short but magical and sweet.”

Peach, pink and yellow made up the colors for their wedding decor, which Jenn described as “whimsical romantic.” When asked why they chose Stone Manor for their wedding, they shared they, ”loved how open it is out there. The fields, mountain views, all the greenery. It’s very picturesque.”

Jenn is a hairstylist and Dom is a general contractor. They currently reside in Westminster.

Classic English Garden Stone Manor Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Nadine and Ryan

Nadine and Ryan met at the birthday party of their friend Christian, who was their best man. “we really hit it off,” Nadine noted. A few months later Ryan asked Christian to set the two up. Christian had a party at his house for the sole purpose of Ryan and Nadine getting to know each other. “From then on we were inseparable.”

Two months later the couple eloped in Reston. “It was a civil ceremony with only Ryan and myself in attendance. We spent the next year planning a religious ceremony for our friends and family to celebrate together.”

70 guests were in attendance for their outdoor ceremony at Stone Manor in Middletown, including a bridal party of five.

The couple was looking for an “ethereal feel” for their wedding. With Stone Manor’s formal english garden as a backdrop, Nadine and Ryan chose a classic blush and ivory color palette.

When asked about her favorite parts of the wedding, Nadine said she really enjoyed taking photos. “I had so much fun with the photographers. Also i really enjoyed our photo booth. It was a huge hit with all our guests.”

The couple said having their wedding in Frederick was a great experience. “There are so many local vendors in Frederick that really are outstanding. There are a lot of beautiful properties.”

Nadine is a stay at home mother and Ryan works in IT at CSS. They currently reside in Leesburg, Virginia.

Stone Manor Fall Wedding :: Dani and Donny :: Real Frederick Wedding

The bride and groom began planning their late October wedding in July. “Family and wedding vendors jumped at the opportunity to help us make a last minute wedding work.”

The couple had two bridesmaids and two groomsmen in their wedding party. The bride’s uncle officiated the ceremony with 130 guests in attendance.

A color palette consisting of burgundy and rich fall colors set the tone for the Stone Manor wedding. A family friend created drink coozies and heart shaped sugar cookies for wedding favors.

Dani is a nurse at Georgetown Hospital and Donny is a wine sales representative. The couple currently lives in Alexandria, Virginia and plan on honeymooning this May in Mexico.

First dance: “End of the World” –Dirty Heads

How they met: “On a weekend out with friends in Arlington, I met Donny at Clarendon Ballroom at a bar. We exchanged numbers. And with persistence, I agreed to go on a first date with Donny to cosmic bowling.”

The proposal: “We were on the couch with our dog and we just had a conversation about it. We had a family emergency that opened our eyes so we decided we wanted get married and have the family together. A week or so after the conversation I woke up to Donny and the dog sitting next to me in bed with a ring box. And then it was official.”

Something funny that happened: “The power went out an hour into the reception. The DJ had back up batteries and the venue had generators to continue food service. We had candle lit tables. People drank more and danced more with the lights out. We had so much fun.”

Advice to other couples: “Don’t sweat details because in the end people just need alcohol, decent food, and great music.”

Rustic Coral and Mint Stone Manor Country Club Wedding :: Alissa and Kevin’s Real Frederick Wedding

Alissa and Kevin’s Stone Manor Country Club Wedding featured a coral, tan and mint color palette and perfectly coordinated rustic details.

Alicia and Frank of Happy Little Life photography describe the couple like this:

“As a couple, Alissa and Kevin are incredibly fun and genuine – it is hard to find a time when they aren’t laughing or smiling! Their wedding day was truly a reflection of who they are as a couple. From beginning to end, the day was filled with so much joy and happiness.”

And we agree! Every little detail is personalized and oh-so-sweet. We adore everything about this darling wedding, including the sweet father-daughter first sight!

In Alissa’s words:
As I woke up on my wedding day, after staying with my bridesmaids, we were all excited and ready to go! No sooner after I woke up we were at Stone Manor Country Club and starting to get ready! I felt like a little kid on Christmas as I walked around and saw Katie from Rose Gold Events & Styling setting up all of the decorations I had worked so hard to create (and find) over the last 8 months. There is nothing like FINALLY seeing your vision come together! My wedding day was picture-perfect, from the guidance and set up from Rose Gold Events & Styling; to hair and make-up from JKW Beauty; to guidance, timelines, support and beautiful pictures from Happy Little Life Photography; to an easy going fun ceremony from Joyce Hilbery; to lastly fun, entertaining, and memorable music from The Dynasty Dj’s Carroll and Zach Higgins! And how could I forget the beautiful venue of Stone Manor Country Club and the delicious food from the Carriage House Catering. Everything happened exactly as it was planned to happen with the help of the exceptional wedding team. It didn’t actually hit me that I was about to get married until we are all lined up at the door about to start walking out for the wedding and one of my bridesmaids said, “Alissa don’t cry or get mad, it might be raining just a little bit.” At the moment, I couldn’t feel mad or cry – I was too excited! Supposedly the ceremony was 25-30 minutes but I am not even sure because from the moment I walked down the aisle to the end of the night, time flew by as we had the perfect wedding celebration. My goal for the wedding was to have fun and have a wedding that would be talked about for a long time. Well almost 4 months later, we are still having friends and family come up to us and talk about how beautiful and fun our wedding was!
