Real Weddings Wednesday: Presenting Jennifer Getz and Eric Olmstead
The Couple: Jennifer Getz and Eric Olmstead
Wedding Date: October 14, 2011
Photography by White Daisy Photography
Tell us a little about you and your beloved: We are an eHarmony success story! On our first date, we both knew we would be together forever. From that day we were inseparable.
What was the most amazing part of your day? The amazing ceremony by Pastor Jeff Bigelow.
Ceremony Site & Reception Venue & Caterer: Serrano Country Club
Photographer: White Daisy Photography
Cake: Jayne Marie Mehan
Flowers: Natural Flair Custom Floral Designs
Wedding Dress & Invitations: Renfro’s Bridal
Bridesmaid Dresses: Bridal Gallery
Hair: Amanda Lane
Makeup: Cynthia Urganda
DJ/Entertainment/Band: Music & More Entertainment
Honeymoon location: Maui
Any other of your wedding vendor(s) you’d like to call out? I have to say that they were all incredible and reliable. Would especially like to call out Aimee Fredy at White Daisy Photography and Jayne Marie Mehan.
First Dance Song: “We Danced” by Brad Paisley
Any advice you’d give to our readers who are planning their weddings right now? Don’t stress! My job is stressful enough, so it was important for me to keep things simple and relatively stress free. The key was choosing great vendors, which I did based on recommendations of friends as well as Jennifer at Serrano Country Club.
Anything that you would have done differently if you were given the chance? Probably hire a videographer OR have live music at the ceremony. Like many couples, we were already over budget so we had to make some hard decisions.
