The hours leading up to your wedding are filled with a mix of excitement, anticipation, and, of course, a touch of nerves. It’s during these precious moments that you have the opportunity to create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

As we settle into 2023 and approach spring wedding season, a few key trends are emerging. From bold color to artistic photography, here’s what’s hot in weddings right now.

You are engaged! Or, maybe you are about to be engaged and you are just doing a little pre-planning. One should never be under-prepared when it comes to matters of marital bliss. As a general rule of thumb, engagement photos should be taken about a month or two following your engagement; although, mini "in the moment" engagement shoots are becoming increasingly popular.

Given the potential stress of wedding planning, many couples opt for an easier way to get married. We talked with Jackie Fogarty, an expert wedding planner, to learn more about all-inclusive weddings, The Venues at Langtree, and insight from her experience planning weddings in North Carolina.

It’s no secret that wedding and event professionals can execute a flawless event. But every once in a while, event vendors get to attend a fabulous event with zero responsibility! Split Second Sound, the area’s premier DJ and entertainment company, has been throwing vendor appreciation parties for over a decade. August 19, 2022 was the 15th annual Vendor Appreciation Party, and it did not disappoint! Hosted at the Venues, the Pavilion was filled with vendors catching up and enjoying themselves before the flurry of wedding season begins!

The dreaded R word…RAIN. Some people say it’s good luck for it to rain on your wedding day. Alanis Morrissette even wrote a song about it! While rain is never anyone’s first choice for a wedding day forecast, if you have a great backup plan and a few tricks up your sleeve, the rain will be a passing blip on your perfect day!

When planning a charity event in the Charlotte, Lake Norman, Mooresville, and Davidson, North Carolina area, no one beats the versatility, convenience, and style of The Venues at Langtree. With on-site catering and indoor and outdoor venues to choose from, your gala will impress your guests while generating funds for your cause.

The Venues was thrilled and honored to host a once in a lifetime event for not one, not two, but three thirteen-year olds for their B’Nai Mitzvah. Most have heard of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Jewish culture, which celebrates the journey to adulthood upon turning thirteen. A Bar Mitzvah celebrates young men, while a Bat Mitzvah celebrates young women. A B’Nai Mitzvah is a plural form of Bar and Bat Mitzvah, which celebrates multiple individuals and different genders. See how they tripled-down for this big event At The Venues!

Sure, at first glance, The Langtree Trolley seems like a great way to move a couple, a bridal party, or select guests from point A to point B. However, combine just a little bit of imagination, and a whole lot of expertise sprinkled in from our venue partners, and it can be both a mode of transportation and a uniquely memorable feature at your big event.

When it comes to wedding dance music, everyone has an opinion, and it usually comes down to Band v. DJ. A great band can truly make or break a party and keep everyone on the dance floor all night long. On the other hand, a DJ has the versatility to play any song or music style, and to play recordings of songs that are special to the couple and their families. So, what to do when you simply can’t decide?

With the post-covid wedding boom fully in motion, weddings are back and better than ever! Couples are focusing on unique experiences to not only have their wedding day reflect their personal hobbies and interests, but truly make their wedding a day to remember! Say goodbye to boring buffets and the chicken dance, these wedding experiences are taking it up a notch!

Sometimes childhood dreams DO come true! Growing up, Annie drove past the Venues at Langtree visiting nearby family. She pictured her wedding there from a young age, and on November 13, 2021, her wish came true!

You’re in the home stretch! The decisions have been made, and all that’s left to do is tie the knot. Here’s how wedding week went down for one Langtree couple, Ashley and Manny! I was lucky enough to be their wedding coordinator, and loved working with them and The Venues at Langtree on this lovely January day!

Now that you’ve booked your venue, wedding date and most of your vendors, it’s time for design and details! After all, what’s a wedding day without pretty design and a little organization!
