Crystal & Jonathan's Manor House Wedding

Littleton, CO

Jonathan proposed to Crystal on New Years Eve in the middle of Time Square with an Emerald engagement ring. With the whole thing caught on film with a secret photo shoot. You can say that he has a flair for the extravagant and we ran with that! After meeting this New York couple with big personality we could not wait to get started. The couple was married at The Manor House on May 29, 2017. This special day began the night before with an all girl sleepover at The Manor House's on site guesthouse. The ladies woke up and got ready in their robes gifted by the bride. In the mean time, the guys got ready in The Man Cave in the basement of The Manor House. As guests arrived, they were seated on the backyard terrance for the ceremony and were greeted by the sounds of Mary Keener's Harp. There was an asymmetrically decorated arch that perfectly framed the city of Denver in the distance and the aisle was lined with floral garland. The couple opted not to do a first look and saw each other for the very first time as Crystal walked down the long winding aisle to Jonathan. It was an emotional entrance as she was escorted by her father in her beautiful cathedral style veil. The couple was married by Crystals mentor in a religious ceremony. Both Jonathan and Crystal wrote their own vows to each other that were fun and yet heartfelt. After the couple said I do guests threw flower petals in celebration. Cocktail hour was on the front porch of the house where they enjoyed cocktail, appetizers, and jazz music by three of the members of The Diamond Empire Band. The bridal party snuck into the field for photos where they used colored smoke bombs to create some dramatic and amazing photos. The ball room was decorated with varying heights of lush centerpieces and candles created by Newberry Brothers. The wooden beans on the ceiling were draped in a greenery garland and twinkle lights. The theme of the wedding was to be a lush garden and when the team was done it was exactly that. The whole bridal party was introduced into the reception and the newlyweds went straight into their first dance which started as a slow song and ended with them breaking into a dance to "I Like to Cha Cha". The guests enjoyed a dinner of Roasted Duck Breast with Apricot Chutney and Maple Sriracha Salmon provided by the onsite catering staff. The night went on with toasts and the cutting of the stunning Chocolate Dulce De Leche Cake provided by Azucar Bakery. We just cant get over this hand crafted sugar flower. Because of Jonathan's love for cigars the couple flew in a cigar roller all the way from Miami to hand roll cigars for the night. Each cigar had a gold label around it with the couples family crest and their wedding date. It was such a nice personal touch and the cigars were a big hit with this fun group. The couple ended the night with their big send off as they rolled away in a vintage Rolls Royce.
