Ileana and Will’s Romantic Reception
When Ileana and Will were searching for the perfect place for their wedding reception, they were immediately drawn to the romance and elegance of the Villa Siena. Our ivy-covered walls complemented their lavender color scheme, and the striking reception hall was the perfect setting for celebrating their love story!
The wedding party and guests arrived at the Villa after a ceremony at the Assumption Greek Orthodox church. The reception hall was decorated with romantic candles and classic white linens, complete with the bride and groom’s names projected on the wall. After guests found their seats, the bridal party made their big entrance: the bridesmaids looked lovely in their long, pastel lavender gowns, Will and his groomsmen were dashing in their blue suits and lavender ties, and Ileana wowed everyone in her lace-covered, off-the-shoulder ball gown.
The bride and groom kicked off the festivities by dancing to “Is That Alright?” by Lady Gaga. As they danced, sparklers lit up the front of the room, adding an extra magical touch to that very special moment. Next, Ileana and her father danced to Josh Groban’s “You Raise Me Up,” and Will and his mother danced to Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” Then, it was time to settle in for a delicious meal of caesar salad, flat iron steak with chimichurri sauce, grilled chicken stuffed with prosciutto, tortellini, and roasted red potatoes.
After dinner, guests mingled with one another and tore it up on the dance floor all night (only taking breaks for moments like the bouquet and garter toss). It was a lively, joyous group, and it was clear that everyone (including us!) wished the newlyweds love and happiness in their life together.
