THE JOURNAL

Rachel & Ben- A Private Estate

In early June, Rachel and Ben celebrated their love at A Private Estate in Germantown, where the front lawn of the main house provided a picturesque backdrop with sweeping views of the serene waterfront. The breathtaking scenery set the stage for a truly unforgettable day, where a beautiful lawn ceremony and a tented reception allowed guests to enjoy the views throughout the evening, making every moment feel both intimate and magical.

Rachel and Ben’s wedding was filled with thoughtful personal touches. They added a unique and charming touch to their wedding by using hand-pressed flowers as escort cards. In a beautiful gesture, Rachel and Ben chose to honor Rachel’s parents on their 40th wedding anniversary by dancing to the same song they shared for their first dance. This heartfelt tribute added a meaningful layer to the celebration, as it tied together the couple’s new beginning with the enduring love and commitment that had come before them.

The couple’s dessert station offered an assortment of personalized cookies featuring their wedding date and names. The sweet treats added a special element to the celebration, providing guests with a delicious and memorable keepsake from the day.

As the evening came to a close, Rachel and Ben ensured that their guests had one last delightful treat to take with them. Soft pretzels were handed out to guests as they boarded their shuttles for the ride home. This thoughtful send-off was a sweet way to keep the warmth and joy of the day alive long after the last dance, ensuring that the memories of their beautiful wedding would linger with their loved ones for days to come.
