Weddings!

We have been so busy enjoying some beautiful weddings in and around Philadelphia!  What an elegant reception we were honored to be part of  at  the Ballroom at the Ben in downtown Philly!  Eilleen and Jimmy had an unforgettable party!  It was so much fun being there with all of their family and friends, what a great group of people.  We also had the pleasure of attending a beautiful back yard wedding in Elverson!  Carrie-Anne and R.J., high school sweethearts always dreamed of getting married in the yard of the grooms parents.  Overlooking a peaceful pond and surrounded by loved ones, they tied the knot!  While stationed in Iraq, Dan who is Carrie-Annes brother called us and ordered  for his sister our Shutterbooth!  A memorable time was had by all!  Check out the photos at www.shutterbooth.com

More Than a Game!

What an exciting Friday we spent in Washington D.C.   Labron James sponsered a city wide charity event for the kids in the D.C. area.  Placed between a video game tent and a create your own t-shirt tent we had a ball!  Kids and adults couldn’t get enough of the photo booth.  Labron and his high school team mates came to hang out and play ball with the kids.     The kids all got basketballs and t-shirts, plenty of  food and gallons of water!  What an amazing athlete with a heart of gold.

The Knottie Get Together

                                      

 The Knotties come together for a meet and greet!

If you are a bride-to-be and still haven’t visited theknot.com’s chat forums, you are missing out!  Proud to be called ‘Knotties’, these ladies devote a lot of time and energy to give out some great advice on a variety of ideas, not to mention do’s and don’t's.  Many of the Knotties stay on the chat forums long after they have been married to lend a hand to the new brides to be. 

  The Knot decided to try something new and have a get together for all the ladies!  The party was held at the newly renovated and awesome event space, The Chestnut Club (15th and Chestnut).  The ladies were so excited and thrilled to meet each other and all had a wonderful time!  We really enjoyed hanging out with them and taking some fun photos!  You can check them out here: http://www.shutterbooth.com/philadelphia/August/Knottie%20Party%208_13_09/index.html.  Be sure to check out your local Knottie chat board to get some great tips and advice!

  Now, if you haven’t heard of The Chestnut Club at Arcadia Theatre yet, you are in for a treat!  Originally, The Chestnut Club was know as the city of Brotherly Love’s first movie theatre back in 1915.  These days, most of the original structure is still a part of the decor and the essence of history and chic have come together to make a beautiful space!  Whether the space is used as a romantic and classic wedding venue or for a fun and hip corporate event, it fits.  The old exposed brick walls, the immensely high and beautifully domed ceilings, and a grand floor to ceiling window overlooking the city, simply make you swoon!  You can check out photos and more information for Chestnut Club at their website : http://www.thechestnutclub.com/index.html.  I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Plymouth Meeting Elegant Bridal Show

 Who knew there were bridal shows being held in the middle of summer??  The Elegant Bridal Show really out-did themselves this past week.  Entertainment companies from all over the Philadelphia/New Jersey area put on such a great performance that the entire crowd was captivated.  Brides to be were jumping up on stage and shakin’ it with some of the best DJ’s around.  Honeymoons were given away as door prizes, along tickets to the Martha Stewart show!  If you haven’t looked in to registering for an Elegant Bridal Show, do it!  It’s great fun and who knows, you might even see a ShutterBooth there

Who says video games are for kids?

We had such a great time hanging out with the folks from Dave and Buster’s this past week.  Talk about people who know how to throw a party!  Starting with a Phillie’s theme, complete with hotdogs, cheesesteaks and Philly’s finest soft pretzels, to rounding in with a homerun that included unlimited game play?!  The employees at the All Store Party in Plymouth Meeting sure know how to have a good time!  You can check out their fun and funky pictures at www.ShutterBooth.com!

Local Wedding Trends

Brides.com recently posted an article about utilizing local landmarks as reception sites.  I thought this was such a great idea and had to share.  Specifically showcased was the 30th Street Station.  How amazing gorgeous and unique of a space to have a party!!  Check out the article below..

Landmark Locale

You’ve probably hustled through Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station to catch a train—but did you know you could hold your wedding reception at this city landmark? At any time on any day of the week, the station’s North Waiting Room can be transformed into a stunning space for a private event. The room’s 30-foot-high ceilings, chandeliers and marble floors are ideal for a glamorous affair. The Spirit of Transportation, a bas-relief that enlivens one of the room’s travertine walls, may appeal to couples who’ve had a long-distance romance. Capacity: 550. Rental fees start at $5,000; outside caterers are allowed. 30th Street Station, 215-349-3147, 30thstreetstation.com.
