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!

throwback :: shannon + johnny

When Shan and J-Mo came to me to plan their wedding, my answer was of course, WORD! We had all been friends since high school and it was more than an honor to be asked to be their Wedding Planner ... and a lot of pressure, EEEK! All those people from high school? This needed to be flawless! 

We couldn't have asked for a better day for their wedding on June 23, 2012. As their families and friends gathered at Trinity Episcopal Church in Southport, CT (where we all gathered years ago, before Junior Prom to get on the shuttle buses - no drinking of course!) it was like a reunion to see all the familiar faces! What a supah fun day watching two high school friends get hitched and getting to celebrate with a room full of old homies. Not to mention Shannon killed it in her dress from The Plumed Serpent Bridal! Dang guuuurl!

All our love!
