Venue
Shawnee Inn
Ceremony and Reception will take place on the grounds of the Shawnee Inn. The Inn sits on the Delaware River.
I selected the Inn as my wedding location when I was about 10 years old and can't wait to see it all come together on this beautiful property.

Photography
Fig Tree Photography (Matthew Wright)
Matt was the first vendor we booked (nearly 2 years in advance). We both love his photo-journalistic style as well as his photography passions outside of weddings.
Matt was also willing to supply us with client references that absolutely raved about him as well as a file of a wedding album he put together.
When we met with him, he was a pretty laid back guy and very down to Earth.

Reception DJ
Weddings By Paris (Paris Kiriakis)
Initially I came across Paris over on Wedding Wire and he had tons of glowing reviews. Then I checked the vendor recs that the wedding coordinator at Shawnee had sent me and I noticed Paris was on her list as well. I e-mailed my coordinator about him and she just raved about how great he is.
I ended up contacting Paris and he spent a great deal of time discussing lots of different things over the phone with me. My gut instinct was that we had to book this guy and fast before someone else booked him for our date. After speaking with him, it was easy to see how professional he was. I can't wait to finally get to work with him on our wedding day.
Note: Paris' business used to be called Good Vibrations.

Wedding Cake (CUPCAKES!)
Merry's Custom Cakes
Just another reason why I love having Shawnee as our venue! Included within our wedding package is our wedding "cake" from Merry's Custom Cakes. I see it as one less thing to worry about. Since we're doing a cupcake tier instead of a traditional wedding cake, Merry's will provide one serving per guest (a cupcake) plus a 6" buttercream top cake that we will save for our first anniversary.
We'll have to go in for a consultation eventually, but for now I'm going to sit back and relax knowing that this is taken care of (for the most part).

Bonnie Hill Farm (Barbara Connolly)
I came across Barbara at the Wedding Expo at the Shawnee Inn back in March of 2011. She comes across as very reserved and can seem quiet, but she has been amazing to work with so far. She completely "GOT" my vision for our centerpieces and for my bridesmaids bouquets. I know the flowers will be absolutely stunning.
Bonus: Barb uses many of the flowers from her own farm (which I believe helped keep the cost down)!
