Last weekend we had quite a wonderful evening at Bridle Oaks Barn. We had a tasting for 16 brides with Anthony from Smoke Showin' BBQ and Catering. It's really the most wonderful BBQ on the planet. Anthony cooks all the food fresh on site and his fire chief James, smokes all the meat. You have to check them out if you like GREAT, fresh, LOCALLY SOURCED food!
So after we had eaten, I had a little surprise for the brides. (well, a large and handsome surprise!)
We were also lucky enough to have Sunbelt Rentals donate a huge AC unit for the barn, so all our guests were comfortable. Big thanks to Jerry Trapp for that donation !
BOON, a beautiful draft horse from Moonlit Acre in Deland, guided by Laura Moon came and drove his carriage right into the barn. The gasp when everyone saw him, I'll never forget. Laura gives carriage rides to brides at the barn. It is a very special service and Boon is the sweetest horse ever.
She donated this to us for the night so the brides there could see and meet Boon. Then, she gave free carriage rides.
Then... the excitement didn't stop there ! Laura from Laura Reynolds Artistry came and did gorgeous makeup and hair on a model (thanks Molly!) for a photoshoot we had a little later. I'm so happy to have Laura here as our go-to Hair and Makeup girl !
Julia from Julias Floral Design made a stunning bouquet, headpiece and arrangement for the dessert table in the barn. All were gorgeous and dramatic. We love our Julia and knew the bouquet would be perfect.
Of course Alice from Alice's Art Gallery did the photo shoot and is responsible for all the photos you see here. We love Alice and she did a fantastic job!
One of our in-house coordinators, Ashley Richards Events did the tables and decor in the barn, and everything was lovely.
All in all, it was such a memorable and fun night. I never knew I'd meet such cool people and make such great connections at Bridle Oaks. It's truly an honor to know all of you, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing to Bridle Oaks for all of our events!
