Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours

*Special thanks to DeEdra with Photo[E]motion for bringing us these pictures!

First of all, each of us at the Wellington would like for all of those who have lost homes and property to these wildfires to know that you are in our thoughts. We know this has been a very trying time for many of you, and we are thinking of each of you.
On a happier note, we had a fabulous wedding here this weekend. Erin and Michael Sherry held their wedding reception and ceremony at the Wellington. It was absolutely beautiful! Despite the violent winds Wichita was receiving throughout the week, Saturday was surprisingly calm! The ceremony proceeded into our grand ballroom for their reception. The room was stunning with light pink black and white everywhere. The Two Clever Chicks created beautiful centerpieces and a wonderful setup. The wedding was so fascinating as it incorporated Irish and Lebanese traditions. Monarch provided a pasta station as well as a beef station with lamb chops. Along with the stations there were passed hors'devours. DJ Rick Hatcher provided the entertainment for the evening. Everyone was dancing from the moment the reception began until the very last second of the night! Erin and Michael choreographed the sweetest dance for their first dance. It was so cute! Everyone just loved watching the bride and groom performing their passion on the dance floor. DeEdra with Photo[E]motion was the photographer for the evening. The whole wedding was so unique and beautiful. It was great working with these two. The night turned out to be such a success!
Congratulations Erin and Michael, we sure did enjoy hosting your wedding ceremony and reception!

Wellington Turns News Room (For a Night)

Wednesday night was so amazing for us here at the Wellington! KFDX hosted an auction which donated all proceeds to North Texas Rehab Center. It was fascinating to see all of the work that goes into turning a banquet and meetings facility into a news room. Stephanie and I got a chance to watch for a few minutes on TV. It was crazy to see on TV what was going on in the room right next door! The auction was very sucessful. Let me tell you, this crew sure know what they are doing! With all of the equipment they had, I was sure it would take hours to take down. However, I turn my back for 5 seconds and it seemed to all disappear! I asked if there was anything I could do to help and they said thank you but we have this down to a science and it will take no time at all. I was absolutely amazed! Everyone involved with this event was so amazing. They were just awesome to work with! I really look forward to working again with KFDX in the future! Thank you guys for being so fabulous!

Paige and Kyle's Beautiful Wedding

(Again, I know I have terrible photography skills, but you get the picture. ;))

For those of you in Wichita Falls, you know this past weekend was a windy one! I am thrilled that we have finally been able to maintain some warm weather, however, this wind is just out of control! As strong as the wind may have been, nothing could ruin Paige and Kyle's perfect wedding.

The Ceremony took place on our terrace facing our fireplace. All of the crazy winds seemed to calm just for Paige and Kyle during their Ceremony. Vibrant hues of pinks, oranges, and greens filled the room. Cynthia Brock and Lolly Bernard with Two Clever Chicks created all of the decorations for Paige and Kyle. They did a marvelous job! DJ Joshua David provided the entertainment for the evening. He was fabulous! I have never seen someone get so many people to dance on the dance floor! Everyone was out of their seats for the Cupid Shuffle, and the Chicken dance and so many other fun songs! I was very tempted to join in on the conga line they had going. His wife was in another area of the ballroom taking charge of the photo booth! She was so busy all night. All of the guest just loved the photo booth! I don't think there was a time that I walked by and people weren't waiting in line! Monarch Catering set up a buffet line of BBQ. The food was delish! Rachel Archer was the photographer of the evening. She is so sweet and nice to work with! Her pictures always look amazing on her website! The whole night was so much fun! I found myself sad when the reception was over.

Congratulations to Kyle and Paige Lessor from all of us here at the Wellington! We hope you enjoyed your reception! Have a wonderful honeymoon in Lake Tahoe!

Cary and Doug's Unique Wedding

This past weekend was so much fun as we hosted Cary and Doug Thompson's wedding reception. Cary was such a sweetheart to work with! Her ideas were so unique and made for a darling wedding. Cary and Doug both enjoy outdoor activities, so in their wedding, they Incorporated all of the things they enjoy doing together. The bar was outside and the beer was held inside of a canoe which was such a cute idea! Cary chose turquoise blue and tangerine orange as her colors. The decorations and flower arrangements were done by the amazing Paula Hill with Designing Spaces. I just love working with Paula, she is so sweet and amazing! DJ Billy with Sound F/X System's had amazing music to keep the party going. As you all know from my previous posts, one of my favorite moments of the evening is the food tasting. Monarch catered the wedding. They had the most amazing sliders, pizzas, and fajitas. It was so enjoyable! Kathy's bakery created both the brides and the grooms cakes. Kathy is so creative. When they were trying to come up with a cute way to serve the cake balls, they decided since there was a fish theme, they would get sand buckets and have the cake balls spilling out. Kathy is just marvelous that way! Devon Jones was the photographer for the wedding. She was very nice to work with as well! This wedding was just so much fun to do. I loved working with each one of these fabulous people! Congratulations Cary and Doug! We hope that you have a wonderful honeymoon!

And now for my pretty pictures...
