This is a great bridal show! I'll be there (along with my mom!) so swing by the Wedding Planning Plus table and say hello!

USA Weddings store in Colonie Center

The USA Weddings store is back in Colonie Center!!!

Ok, so we've actually been open for a whole month, but better late than never!

USA Weddings is back in our same great location upstairs next to Boscovs. Sure we let Hickory Farms sell a few cheese logs from our spot during the holidays, but it's all ours from January to October. Think of our store as a bridal show that is always open and never requires an admission fee. If you haven't been in then you should just stop by and check us out. We have great vendor information from photographers, dress shops, florists, limo companies, bands and djs, videographers, stationery suppliers, cake bakeries, tux shops, calligraphers, ceremony musicians, officiants, and, of course, wedding planners! ME! :)

I run the store every other Wednesday night so stop in and say hello! I'm happy to give any free advice so take advantage of the opportunity and pick my brain! And if you're in the market of hiring a planner or coordinator then this is a great way to get to know me and see if you like me! :)

Contact me if you want to schedule a full consultation at the store. See you there!!

Tramontana Wedding - October 12, 2008

What a fun couple! The Tramontanas were all about having a good time, for themselves and for their guests. And luckily their wedding planners had fun with them, too! Katie rocked this one, and she had nothing but great things to say about the vendors, family, and the bride and groom themselves. Married on October 12th at Top of the World golf course in Lake George, and a reception following at The Inn at Erlowest on the lake, this was a wedding just as beautiful as the special couple. Thank you to Holly at Out of the Ordinary photography for these amazing pics! www.outoftheordinary.biz



Top of the World is a golf course set high above the southern end of Lake George. Kim and her team did a nice job with the setup of this beautiful ceremony. And in the fall the foliage is amazing! A perfect location for this perfect union.

Check out that first kiss! Yowsers!

A classic car from the groom's family served as their chariot and "Just Married" car, and transported the newlyweds from their ceremony site to their reception.

The cocktail hour and reception were held at The Inn at Erlowest. A beautiful mansion on the shore of Lake George, this location has a beautiful ballroom and a stunning stone patio that looks out to the water. Stunning!

The Tramontanas had a beautiful fall wedding in beautiful Lake George. Katie wants to pass on her thanks to Andy Pratt for playing some great tunes at the reception and keeping the party going all night long. And of course to Holly for Out of the Ordinary photography, she and her assitant really rocked it with these pictures. Beautiful!

And... ok... a few postings back I got to flaunt a few pictures of me in action at a wedding (Casey Wedding, November 29, 2008), so fair is fair. Holly got a few cute pictures of Katie bustling the bride's dress and she deserves to get a little blog coverages in here, too. Go Katie! :)
