Tiffany + Jason tied the knot at The RiverRoom on Saturday, October 3, 2015. Hurricane Joaquin was scheduled to hit that weekend; however, it turned out to be a sunny and beautiful October day with perfect weather and we could not be more pleased. Before the ceremony, Tiffany, Jason and their bridal party came to The RiverRoom for the "first look" with their photographer, Treece Photography. One thing that was a little different about this first look was that their bridal party got to watch the magic happen as Jason saw his beautiful wife-to-be for the first time. After the first look and some bridal party photos, the gang got ready for the wedding ceremony. Tiffany + Jason had a gorgeous ceremony on the deck of The RiverRoom overlooking the Cape Fear River in downtown Wilmington, NC. They were accompanied by 85 guests on their special day. DJ David from My Wedding DJ provided the ceremony music and once the ceremony ended, invited everyone inside to enjoy the reception. There were 12 round tables had white linens with burlap runners and tiffany blue napkins. The tables had bright floral centerpieces with sunflowers and roses designed by Beautiful Flowers By June. Romantic and classic Edison lights were provided by EZ AV. Middle of The Island catered a delicious buffet dinner. Following dinner, there was a champagne toast and the cutting of the wedding cake! All of the guests shared a good luck dance (one of my favorite ways to get the party started) and then opened up the dance floor. The rest of the night was filled with lots of dance-offs, laughs and good times with all of their most cherished people. We had a great time getting to know this super enjoyable and loving couple. Jason is a complete goof ball and Tiffany is a fun woman yet a good balance for his often silly comments. We wish you both all the best in your marriage and life. Congratulations!! Tiffany's WeddingWire Review: "Let me just say that Melissa was a life saver! She made me feel at ease from the moment I met with her! She has a calming nature about her that just made me feel comfortable and I had ZERO worries the day of my wedding! She is a true professional at what she does and I would recommend her to EVERYONE!"

I love being able to share that moment with the bride. All brides are anxious and nervous in the hours leading up to the ceremony so I enjoy being able to calm them down and show them that everything came together and it's going to be a great wedding. Tiffany had lots of little details to set up on the wedding day but she gave me freedom to put things where I thought they would look best. I was so happy she was beyond impressed with the way everything looked and this made her even more excited to see her handsome groom. Vendors

Justine + Renato tied the knot at The RiverRoom on Saturday, July 10, 2015. The ceremony was held on the deck of The RiverRoom and they had 70 of their closest friends and family members there to witness the marriage. The bridal party was lined up against the historic brick J.W. Brooks building right before the ceremony. The guests sat in white resin chairs lining the the aisle. Knot Too Shabby Events was hired for the month of coordination. The tables had either a blue or oyster linen on it, as the colors alternated throughout the event space. The napkins were white and had a Mad Lib on top of each place setting. The floral centerpieces were assembled by KTSE based on the bride's design. Eco Chic Blossoms did the beautiful bouquets, as well as the boutonnieres. The blue linen tables had white hydrangea and coral rose floral centerpieces while the white linen tables had black lanterns with candles and coral rose petals inside of them. After the ceremony, DJ Wilmington invited all of the guests inside to celebrate the newly married couple. DJ Wilmington then introduced the bridal party into the reception, where there was an open bar for guests to enjoy bottled beer, wine, champagne and two signature liquor drinks. After the introductions, Justine + Renato had a choreographed dance to "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. Their first dance was so magical and heart warming. After their first dance, the father of the bride shared a blessing. Bon Appetit Catering then invited guests to enjoy a tasty buffet style dinner. After dinner, the three-tier ombre wedding cake from Creative Cake Design by Tammy Hodge was served. Justine + Renato danced the night away with their family and friends. They had a gorgeous bubble send off. They are such a beautiful couple and we are so blessed to have been a part of their special day. Congratulations Justine + Renato - may you two have a life full of happiness and everlasting love! Justine's WeddingWire Review: "Melissa was amazing! She is friendly and easy to work with, and she listens to your ideas and what you want. She was very accessible so I could always count on hearing from her when I had questions or concerns. The day of the wedding and reception went so smoothly that I didn't notice any problems come up at all, which means she did her job! :) I also asked her to decorate the space with the supplies I provided. I had a general idea of what I wanted the space to look like, but asked her to just "make it look good" and when I saw the space, it looked wonderful. So whether you know exactly how you want everything set up, or you want to trust the styling to your planner, Melissa is a great choice for both. I would easily trust her again with another event!"

Renato was very involved throughout the planning process and it was so sweet to watch him as he saw his stunning bride walk down the aisle. I'm sure it was more moving to him than he imagined it would be. Vendors

The guests and bridal party were escorted to the venue by Event Shuttle Service on a lovely Friday afternoon. The ceremony was held on the deck outside, where 55 of their closest friends and family were able to enjoy a perfect summer day along the Cape Fear River. The aisle was decorated with a white runner that read “Today I Marry My Best Friend” along with white lanterns from ETC Party Rentals. At the end of the aisle, we set up an arbor with white sheer fabric and two large floral arrangements. The bridesmaids' bouquets and boutonnieres were from Julia's Florist. The bridal party flowers were a mix of orange, pink, and white lilies, which created a romantic yet fun, summer feel. DJ Wilmington provided music for the ceremony and reception. Taneia looked absolutely beautiful as she walked down the aisle to meet her soon-to-be husband and best friend. Taneia + Marc were not afraid to show their excitement as they said "I do" and became husband and wife. Following the ceremony, guests were invited to enjoy cocktail hour inside The RiverRoom. Champagne was served along with a delicious cheese and fruit display provided by Middle of the Island Catering. This reception was particularly unique because this couple was not afraid to use bright colors! Each table was decorated with a coral linen and each chair had a turquoise tie; this was such a perfect color combination for their summer wedding. The exposed brick venue looked stunning as each table was decorated with a black lantern with small candle votives around it. Taneia + Marc had their own sweetheart table with signs that read “Bride” and “Groom” on their chairs, as well as personalized champagne glasses that read “Mr” and “Mrs". After DJ Wilmington introduced the bridal party into the reception, there was an open bar for guests to enjoy bottled beer, wine, and champagne. After the introductions, Taneia + Marc shared their first dance as husband and wife, followed by a blessing by the officiant, Luther Moore III. Middle of the Island then invited guests to enjoy a tasty buffet style dinner. After dinner, toasts were made and the two-tier wedding cake from One Belle Bakery was served. Guests were finally welcomed to be a part of the good luck dance followed by a lot more dancing before the evening came to a close. The smiling faces and positivity of Taniea + Marc made the countless hours of planning worth it! We are so honored to have been a part of Taneia + Marc’s special day! Congratulations you two! Taneia's WeddingWire Review: "A wedding planning gem... Melissa’s professionalism, expertise, and wide vision were key in the most enjoyable time of our lives. Even for our small wedding of 54 guests at the River Room on July 3, 2015, we realized that it needs just as much work, if not more, than a larger wedding. From the beginning, she understood the big picture, listened to our needs, and offered amazing advice and alternatives. She is an expert planner who has plenty of ideas of her own, but always understands that this is your day and allows you to have your own opinion, which sets her apart as a true event planner vs just any other planner. Our wedding was a dream from beginning to end, without a single worry from our end. We were both completely relaxed, knowing Melissa would handle everything perfectly, which she did. Melissa is a true gem. Her no-nonsense approach, tireless work ethic, and creativity will all come together to give you the best event or wedding you've ever dreamed- and beyond! We highly recommend Knot Too Shabby Events. Thank you so much for everything." Click on images below to enlarge. Favorite Wedding Moment: Watching Taneia + Marc during their first dance. They chose "Living For The Love of You" by the Isley Brothers. You could just see how obviously in love they are and I almost couldn't help but just stare at them as they held each other during this romantic dance. Vendors
