An Outdoor Ellis Preserve Wedding

December 23, 2020 Ballroom at Ellis Preserve

Ellis Preserve Wedding Day

Christine and Frank did not expect their wedding day to end up in the middle of a pandemic. With the help of their family and friends, however, they were able to pull together a beautiful day. Their day started with a Church ceremony and continued to an outdoor wedding reception at Ellis Preserve. Their reception was held outdoor underneath a tent on the Ellis Preserve’s grounds. With the tables beautifully decorate, you could hardly tell it was outside! Through many changes, Christine and Frank were still able to hold the wedding of their dreams.

Before the CeremonyFirst Look Father of the Bride

Christine and Frank got ready with the wedding party. Christine’s bridesmaids helped her get ready, and once she donned her gown, Christine’s father came in to see her for the first time. He smiled and said “oh my heavens, you look gorgeous!” Her father was especially happy to have Frank as part of the family as “the son he never had.”

Church Wedding

The wedding party then made their way to a church ceremony, where the rest of the family and friends gathered together. Christine and Frank stood at the altar together and smiled widely through their vows. You could hear the emotion in both of their voices as they took their next step together. After being pronounced husband and wife, their guests cheered widely and Christine and Frank made their way back up the aisle. Everyone continued on to the reception at Finley Catering’s Ballroom at Ellis Preserve.

Christine and Frank posed for photos along the grand pillars in front of the venue. The greenery and stone from the building made for a great photo background. They were able to get some beautiful photos from Moffa Photography, despite some light rain!

Due to mandates because of the pandemic, Christine and Frank’s reception was held outside in a tent along the grounds. Finley Catering did an amazing job transforming a tent into a beautiful wedding reception. Elegant drapery hung down from the tent’s ceiling, adding a bit of extra decore to the area. Black table cloths, gold plates, and gold candles added to their charming set up. In the center of the area, the dance floor was placed over the grass.

Christine and Frank made their grand entrance outside of the ballroom. The columns shone with pink lighting as the two came out, cheering with their hands in the air. Christine held her bouquet overhead as the two made their way in and onto the dancefloor. They beamed as started dancing as their friends and family cheered them on.

Throughout the night, their guests made heartfelt speeches about how happy they were that Christine and Frank were able to celebrate their wedding. Christine and Frank show that opposites do attract and can bring out the best in one another. We wish you two so many more happy days together. Congratulations Christine and Frank!

Megan and Mike’s Wedding at the Ballroom at Ellis Preserve

We have filmed many wedding days over the years at Ellis Preserve, but this one was even more special. We’ve worked alongside Megan, who is the Maitre D for Finley Ballroom, but we finally got to film her own special day. In a beautiful church ceremony, Megan and her fiance, Mike, exchanged their vows to become husband and wife. After, they made their way to Ellis Preserve for their reception.

During this wonderful day, we worked alongside our friend from Baiada Photography. The Ballroom at Ellis Preserve gave us a spectacular backdrop to capture every moment. Masquerade entertained and kept everyone out on the dancefloor to continue the celebration.

During the reception, many people gave speeches about Megan and Mike’s relationship. However, one phrase stood out: “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because your reality is finally better than your dreams.” Our Allure Films team was so lucky to film such an incredible day for the two.

Megan and Mike, we hope you both have the best life together, and we wish you many more joyful memories. Congratulations again!

A Colorful Wedding at the Ellis Preserve

ellis preserveChristine and Bill celebrated a colorful outdoor wedding at Ellis Preserve. From the light pink underlay of Christine’s dress to her vibrant flower arrangements, everything was bright and cheerful. The brightest part of the day, however, was Christine and Bill’s love for each other.

After a heartfelt ceremony outside, Christine danced back down the aisle with her new husband to continue their day inside the Ballroom at Ellis Preserve. They had a grand entrance and started their reception with great entertainment from Silver Sound DJ’s. Christine, Bill, and all of their guests danced the night away inside and enjoyed great cuisine from Finley Catering.

It was easy for our Allure Films team to capture this day on film because Christine and Bill fit so effortlessly together. Finley Catering’s venue also creates the perfect wedding backdrop for film. Our friends from Campli Photography joined us and took beautiful photos throughout the day.

Congratulations Christine and Bill! We wish you many more exciting days together!
