Tarrytown United Methodist Church and The Driskill

01/04/2025

 

Catherine and Andrew celebrated the beginning of their marriage together with a day filled with love, and joy. Their ceremony took place at the historic Tarrytown United Methodist Church, where Barton Strings provided a musical experience. The church was adorned with florals by David Kurio Designs, perfectly setting the tone for a timeless celebration. The talented team at John Cain Photography was there to capture every heartfelt moment.

 

Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed to a reception at The Driskill, where the ballroom was transformed with lush white florals and greenery, once again by David Kurio Designs. The setting was elegant yet inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for celebration.

 

Dinner was presented through an array of food stations, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of delicious flavors throughout the evening. Soon after, the dance floor came alive thanks to the incredible energy of The Drywater Band. Catherine and Andrew’s first dance was a highlight of the evening, bringing smiles to every guest and setting the stage for a night full of joyful dancing.

 

As the evening drew to a close, the band led guests in a moving finale with Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”—the perfect ending to a magical night. But the celebration didn’t stop there. Friends joined Catherine and Andrew for a lively after party in the ballroom, complete with late-night bites and more music.

 

Before departing, guests were treated to custom cookies by Haley Cookies, a thoughtful and sweet gesture from the couple to end the night.

 

Catherine and Andrew’s wedding day was a reflection of their love —classic, joyful, and unforgettable. From the heartfelt ceremony to the after party, every detail was thoughtfully planned, leaving guests with cherished memories of a truly beautiful celebration.

 

XOXO,

Betsy
