Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Jensen

This past weekend’s wedding was one of our more rustic and chic of the season. Marc and Shannon knew exactly what they wanted and how to entrance their guests with romantic hues from start to finish. Their chocolate brown and marigold yellow colors portrayed a country meets classic theme. Needless to say, the couple seemed to be having the times of their lives, as they should on such a magical day!

As guests arrived they were ushered by Marc and his groomsmen downstairs to our Cavern for the ceremony, which was lighted with the climate-friendly battery operated votives. Don’t doubt their power though; these lights added just the right amount of brightness to highlight the smiles on everyone’s faces as Shannon walked down the aisle. The floral arrangements cascading down the two wine barrels at the altar, by Arlyne’s Flowers, radiated cheerfulness nearly as much as the couple.

Just before the reception family and friends munched on chips and salsa and carried on energetic conversations while the wedding party and immediate family finished up pictures with photographer, Lorie Chambless. As the heat finally began to evaporate, the guests were seated to for the grand entrance of Mr. and Mrs. Marc Jensen and to hear toasts from the Father of the Bride and others from the wedding party.

The dinner, catered by Chef Jeffrey Scott, was served buffet style and included two BBQ favorites: tri tip and chicken. As everyone “dug in” to their flavorsome meal and the sun began to set it was evident that much dancing was about to take place. DJ Beau Kramer shook up the crowd with an array of country and rock, which proved to be the best way to express the emotions the newlyweds were feeling. Underneath the twinkling paper lanterns strung up above and surrounded by the glowing votives decorating the tables, it was the end of an evening and the beginning of a lifetime of love for Marc and Shannon.

Congratulations and cheers!
