You’ll Fall In Love With This Stunning Rittenhouse Hotel Wedding

A Rittenhouse Hotel Wedding Story

Brittany and David’s Rittenhouse Hotel wedding was a day filled with love, laughter and plenty of Penn Pride!

As young college freshman at the University of Pennsylvania, Brittany and David were introduced to an education and a love they would share with one another for an eternity beyond those next four years. Since the city of Philadelphia is where these two college sweethearts first met, it was only fitting that Brittany and David came back from NYC to tie the knot at the city’s celebrated and historic Rittenhouse Hotel.

Allure Films and Cliff Mautner Photography were at Brittany and David’s wedding to photograph and film beautiful moments between the couple and their wedding party inside the hotel, as well as outside against the picturesque backdrop of Rittenhouse Square Park. Both the ceremony and reception took place in the hotel’s ballroom, which was magically transformed while guests enjoyed cocktail hour. Philadelphia’s Evantine Design team were behind all of the spectacular floral arrangements, including the gorgeous hanging floral display that served as the couple’s chuppah.

After the beautiful ceremony, everyone let loose on the dance floor and hammed it up for the photobooth station, which provided tons of fun props and buttons with sayings such as “PENN IS MY HAPPY PLACE.” When the guests were wiped out from taking photos and dancing, they were sure to stop by the bagel wall! David’s company, Schmear It, provided a wide variety of bagels and “Schmear” to satisfy the guests’ biggest cravings.

kimmel centerJames and Kara dated for four years before tieing the knot at the Kimmel Center. Together, they read each other personalized vows. James chose a poem for Kara, mixed with funny anecdotes and heartfelt thoughts. James wrapped up his vows by saying, “Kara you mean everything in the world to me, you complete my life, it’s time to end this poem, so I can finally call you my wife.”

Their ceremony had many touching moments. Family members took turns wishing them well and helping to join them together. Holding back tears, Kara’s brother and best friend officially pronounced them husband and wife.  In between the ceremony and reception, the Kimmel Center transformed for the reception. All About Events made sure that everything went smoothly and beautifully for the happy couple. We also worked with Emily Wren Photography who helped capture this special day. For entertainment, BVT Live’s Jellyroll also performed at the reception. The loving atmosphere and excellent music kept everyone together on the dancefloor.

They connected while walking their dogs together, and have been inseparable ever since. Colleen and Patrick has a church ceremony and celebrated their reception at the beautiful Hotel Du Pont. Of course, they involved their furry friends in their big day as well, since they helped create their love story.

Each family’s speech told the beauty of their relationship and how happy they are to be in each of their lives. Our Allure Films team was so grateful to capture such a wonderful day from the church ceremony to the reception at Hotel Du Pont.

Throughout this day, we also worked with wedding professionals from Barbara O Photography, who took wedding photos for the couple. The wedding band Bigg Romeo provided excellent entertainment for the guests as well.

August 22, 2019 Blog, Phoenixville Foundry

phoenixville foundryLisa and Jaime compliment each other in every way. From the start, Jaime made sure to go above and beyond in their relationship. Lisa’s father recognized this when Jaime arranged a surprise party for Lisa’s birthday. It was then that her father knew that Jaime would be the one for Lisa. This all led to their wedding day at the Phoenixville Foundry.

The Phoenixville Foundry was a perfect place for Jaime and Lisa to have their wedding. The venue’s rustic style, high ceilings, and mezzanine gave them a unique space for celebration. At the Foundry, we were happy to work with Dhoom Events, who provided entertainment, and Uncorked Studios who took photos of the day.

Throughout their wedding day, the two never stopped smiling. Lisa and Jaime share a connection like no other that everyone in the room can pick up on. We were so lucky that our Allure Films team could capture such a special day for them filled with dancing, laughter, and love.

Congratulations Lisa and Jaime! We hope you have many more happy memories together.
