Venue: Franklin Plaza, Troy NY, Joe, Greg, Dom all the staff never cease to amaze me with their professionalism, the quality of service and always coming up with new innovative ideas to make every brides wedding as unique as they are!

Date: June 9, 2012

Wedding for: Erin & Josiah, They are the perfect blend; fun loving, same family values, caring, great sense of humor!

Videography: Al Woodard, Captured every moment of this special day!

DJ: Non Stop Music, Vinny knows how to keep a party rocking! This wedding literally did not stop dancing all night! The mix of music was very different from what I have heard at other weddings.

This wedding was non-stop fun from beginning to end! We started with Josiah and his groomsmen at his house and then onto the Hilton Garden Inn where Erin and her bridesmaids were getting ready! Many wedding couples are into the untraditional reveal before the wedding, so that is what we did for Erin and Josiah. At the hotel there was a gorgeous, vintage, mint green Cadillac waiting to take Erin and Josiah to the church. Before that, we took advantage of that car and had the reveal right in front of the car, amazing! With plenty of time to spare, we drove to Sage College where Erin and Josiah requested pictures with the wedding party. Time to get this couple married, so it was off to the Church for a beautiful ceremony. The rest of the day continued at The Franklin Plaza for some fun pictures in the famous alleyway and the boardroom. After cocktail hour and another fabulous dinner, all the formalities completed, you could not contain this party from sitting anymore, that is when Vinny got everybody out of their seats and on the floor dancing! Later in the evening, in case guests were hungry after all the dancing, there were stations set up with pizza, novelty ice cream bars and sliders!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Erin and Josiah! It was truly an honor and a pleasure working with you and your amazing family and friends! What a fun, memorable day we will all remember!
Congratulations, and we wish you all the health and happiness you both deserve!

Steevi Christina and Joe’s Wedding
Saturday, March 3, 2012

This is the first wedding we have in March and if this is any indication of how well our season goes, we will take it! From the moment we began our day at the home of Steevi’s grandparents, we knew it was going to be an amazing day of fun and laughter! After hair and make-up artists finished up, it was time for Steevi to WOW everyone as she revealed her gorgeous dress to everyone at the house. After we finished up with Steevi and her bridal party, it was off to St. Pius Church in Loudonville to find the groom and spend some time with him. Joe was also very excited about the day ahead of him and looked very handsome for his photo’s. The ceremony was so beautiful and Steevi and Joe were all smiles as they walked down the aisle for the first time as husband and wife!

It was time to get this party started, so off to the Franklin Plaza we went. As always, the room looked beautiful, the food was amazing and Greg and his staff were there to take care of everything! After all the formalities were taken care of, it was nonstop dancing thanks to the incredible, music from DJ Fernando! He just knows how to rock a wedding and keep everyone on the dance floor and just having fun!

We want to thank you Steevi and Joe for allowing us to be part of this happy day with you and your families! It was a pleasure spending this special day with you,
and we enjoyed your warmth and enthusiasm which made it fun for us as well!

Congratulations and we wish you health and happiness for many, many years!

Erin and Matt’s Wedding
Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Who could ever predict that there would be no snow in February, especially Erin on her wedding day! There was a chill in the air, but spirits were high for this very special day! What an absolutely perfect day from the moment we arrived at the Franklin Plaza Suites and Erin opened the door to greet us.
Stunning is the word I have to describe Erin from jeans and white blouse to her gorgeous dress! After the ceremony, it was back to the Franklin Plaza for more pictures, and a lot of food, fun and dancing!

As guests entered the ballroom, they were treated to beautiful table settings, thanks in part to David Schmidt from Renaissance Floral Design.
As always Greg and his staff from the Franklin Plaza did a spectacular job with the food and customer service they are well known for. We just want to thank Erin and Matt for allowing us to be part of this very happy day

It was truly a pleasure working with you and your friends and family.

Congratulations!

Alyssa and Rob’s Wedding

What a wonderful way to finish the month of September; spending the day with Alyssa and Rob to capture every moment of their special wedding day! Spirits were high at Alyssa’s family home, and the bride looked beautiful as she posed like a pro for her photo shoot! The weather was perfect all day, which enabled us to take everyone outside for pictures.

We met up with Rob at the St. Pius Church in Loudonville, where he and his best man Jules, were waiting for their photo shoot. With the ceremony and pictures complete at the church, we were off to the Franklin Plaza. We had so much fun with the wedding party in the famous alley behind the plaza and from there it was party time!

I have said this many times before, but The Franklin Plaza is one of the top venues in the capital district, thanks to Joe, Greg and their staff.
Every wedding is designed for each individual bride from beginning to end. Even the lighting can be changed to add to the ambience of the room. Alyssa chose blue for the night and the room looked spectacular! The night seemed to fly by after all the formalities were complete and DJ Paul Malo had the dance floor rocking all night!

Thank you Alyssa and Rob for letting us be part of your amazing wedding day with you and your family and friends!
Congratulations!
