What first drew you to the VBCC?.
Josh and I went together to the 2012 VOW Bridal show and were completely amazed!!! We were so impressed by how everything was set up, and especially the VBCC booth. It was clear that the VBCC would be the place that we would be celebrating our union.
What made you decide to book?
Cassie, James, and Darcy were absolutely amazing! They answered all our questions and assured us that the reception would go perfectly. And it did!!
What was your favorite part of planning your wedding?
I think probably exchanging emails back and forth with Cassie! She made the whole experience really fun and exciting and she had a lot of great ideas that really made our reception 10 times better. And most of all, she would always say something in the emails that really made me laugh. That definitely means a lot throughout all the stress of planning.
What was the most challenging part of planning your wedding?
Probably deciding on cake flavors. Our cake baker, Emily from E & E Special Events was PHENOMENAL!! She had so many delicious flavor options that we just couldn't decide. We eventually came to a decision and boy was that cake delicious and beautiful!!
What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day (Groom)?
Seeing Adrienne for the first time. She was absolutely gorgeous. I completely lost it.
What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day (Bride)?
Walking down the aisle and seeing Josh crying tears of joy when he saw me. That made me immediately break down in tears, especially when he grabbed my hand and said, "You look so beautiful." Best moment ever.
Bride: I had a little bit of everything and EVERYTHING was incredibly delicious. That Jambalaya was sooooo delicious!! We didn't get to eat much but the flavor of that stuck out to me the most.
Groom: The Pernil was perfect! Half of my family is Puerto Rican so we all really appreciated how delicious it was. All of my family said that it was the best Pernil we've EVER had!!
What is your favorite photo from your wedding day?
What is your favorite part of being married (Groom)?
Getting to spend more time with my wife. She's my best friend and we have so much fun together.
What is your favorite part of being married (Bride)?
Knowing that I get to spend the life with my best friend in the entire world! Every day is a brand new adventure. And what better ways to share that adventure than with my best friend and now husband, Josh.
Anything else you want to share?
The whole crew at the Virginia Beach Convention Center was absolutely phenomenal! We were completely amazed from start to finish how their service, food, staff, building, and everything else in between, was incredible!
