Bridal Spotlight: Randy and Tyra Woods

Name: Mrs. Tyra N. Woods & Mr. Randy S. Woods

Wedding Date:  January 4, 2014

Ceremony Site:  The Virginia Beach Convention Center (Meeting Suite 1)

Reception Site:  The Virginia Beach Convention Center (Ballroom 3)

Photographer: Will King

DJ: Shelton

What first drew you to the VBCC?

-       
        What drew me to the VBCC was the building. I wanted a venue that made a statement upon entering the grounds. The building is beyond beautiful and was everything I dreamed that I wanted.

What made you decide to book?

-          My husband and I decided to book with the VBCC because the VBCC is a one stop shop. Everything that you would ever need for your wedding is already there for you, from the catering, lighting, dressing rooms, décor. etc. I absolutely fell in love with the Ballrooms and the VIP Suite. After viewing other venues, none compared to VBCC.

 What was your favorite part of planning your wedding? 

-         My favorite part of planning my wedding was working side by side with my mother. My mother was my décor manager and she absolutely wowed me. The night before the wedding my mother actually reviled the ceremony space to me and I cried hysterically like a baby. My mom is my best friend and she provided me with my dream and so much more. 

 What was the most challenging part of planning your wedding? 

-       
           Actually I did not have any challenges while planning my wedding. The VBCC staff were so welcoming, polite, professional, and able to make everything happen that I wanted.

What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day (Groom)?

-          The most memorable moment of my wedding was my wife and my grand entrance into the reception space. The lighting was amazing. It really makes your wedding experience so much better if you have excellent lighting.

What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day (Bride)?

-          The most memorable moment of my wedding day was our balloon drop cascading down on my husband and I during the ending of our first dance. It was absolutely beautiful and Whitlock was able to help install it and my event manager Darcy Potter was able to release the balloons at the perfect time.

What was your favorite thing you ate at your wedding reception?

-          Our guests absolutely loved our food at the wedding and is currently still talking about how delicious everything was. As a young couple we wanted to select a variety of foods that were popular instead of the traditional elegant wedding food. Our favorites was our whole menu but cocktail hour was beyond delicious. We selected  mini cheeseburger slider, scallops wrapped in bacon, and BBQ quesadillas. OMG the food was so good and so filling. My guests were full off of cocktail hour alone. We were so pleased.

What is your favorite photo from your wedding day? 

-          Our favorite photo from our wedding is our Winter Wonderland snowy photo, in which our photographer captured snow actually falling on us inside the ceremony space, but all of our photos are super awesome.

What is your favorite part of being married (Groom)?

-          My favorite part of being married is being able to wake up next to my beautiful, awesome wife every day. My wife completes me and understands me like no one else. She is my dream and I’m so honored to have been divinely designed and destined just for her.

What is your favorite part of being married (Bride)?

-          My favorite part of being married is my husband is truly my best friend.  We were high school sweethearts and dated for 10 years. My husband gets me like no one else. I’m so blessed to have him. He is definitely 1 in a million.

What first drew you to the VBCC?

The food! I had been to several banquets here before and every time I loved what I ate.

What made you decide to book?

It ultimately came down to that the VBCC had everything I wanted in a venue. We could get ready here, have the ceremony and reception here and most importantly after researching the cost factor at different spaces it really was the best value for our dollar.

What was your favorite part of planning your wedding?  

It was kind of cool that people would get so excited for us!

What was the most challenging part of planning your wedding? 

Getting the RSVPs back!

What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day (Groom)?

Dancing with Renée and then with my mom

What was the most memorable moment of your wedding day (Bride)? 

There was a moment when everyone was getting served their salads that I realized that I was surrounded by pretty much all of my favorite people – they were in the same place at the same time. And, they were happy! That was just awesome!

What was your favorite thing you ate at your wedding reception? 

I really enjoyed the barbecue quesadillas. The walnut sage sauce on the chicken was amazing!

What is your favorite photo from your wedding day?

What is your favorite part of being married (Groom)? 

I took Renée to my office and I got to show her off as my wife!

What is your favorite part of being married (Bride)? 

We were engaged for two years; it is nice that all that planning is done and now we can focus on other things not just the wedding! And, being able to really call him husband! :)

Anything else you want to share?

Brides - If you wear a head piece, make sure it is stretchy; I had a horrible headache from the headband; it eventually went away, but there were a few rough hours before the aspirin kicked in and I was able to get distracted enough to forget about it!

Be flexible! Plan for things to not go 100% according to plan. Don’t forget to eat and breathe.
