english garden wedding :: greta + brian

WEDDING. SEASON. IS. HERE. And what better way to kick off 2014 with one of our FAVE weddings from 2013!

This wedding was not only phenomenal but a true celebration of a marriage between two people and their families. Working with Greta and Brian was amazing and their love for one another throughout the planing process is what every planner dreams of. They were a true team! I met Greta and Brian almost two years before their wedding at Panera Bread in Norwalk, CT and for me, it was love at first site. Their love story should be a novel; boy meets girl, girl moves almost across the country to be with him, they fall in love and decide to share the rest of their lives together. With Greta having left behind all of her family and friends in Alabama, she knew she needed a planner and we are so honored they chose us to join this journey with them! Their first request; nothing traditional and they LOVED brunch!

This intimate garden wedding took place on the breathtaking grounds of the Gwyn Careg Inn in Pomfret, CT. Driving onto the property with gorgeous trees flanking the drive while the horses roamed was the perfect setting for this brunch celebration of family and friends. There was no first dance, no introductions, no bouquet toss, just lawn games, family and friends gathering to watch two people say "I do" and eat a slammin' brunch while an A Capella group serenaded them in the background.

throwback :: holly + matt

Our first official love story as Double G Events was Holly + Matt on June 4, 2011. That night was so special not only for Holly, Matt and their family and friends but for us as well. After working for another event company for seven years, we had made it, we did it on our own! This wedding was under OUR name! Holler! And what better way to celebrate than with two people so obviously in love with each other! Holly + Matt was the first of many of our match.com couples. So for any of you hesitating to try online dating, here's some mad props that it works!

Their love story began at The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in New Fairfield with the shindig at the Heritage Hotel in Southbury, CT. Both graduates of Syracuse University; they brought in the orange and navy into their DIY design and you'll see Otto is clearly a VIP guest at this wedding!

What an amazing night to celebrate two awesome milestones! Holly + Matt, your wedding meant more to us than you know! Thank you for being dGE's first official bride and groom!
