Denise & Neal – February 17, 2017

When it comes to weddings, many people would agree that the winter months are not the most desirable in the Hudson Valley. Indeed spring, summer, and fall weddings are lovely, but we think there’s something absolutely charming about saying your “I do's” with a gorgeous wintry backdrop. Winter weddings are magical and romantic, and Denise and Neal's wedding at West Hills Country Club is a perfect example of that.

Wedding Traditions- Where Did They Come From?

Did you know that a popular wedding tradition is based off of... kidnapping? Weird, I know.
