"Cape Cod Couples Tell All" series is back at it again! We took a trip down memory lane with Kate & Nick in June. Now we reminisce with Hannah & Joe who were married August 18, 2012 at Family Tabor Academy/family home in Mattapoisett, MA- 7 years ago this month!! Cape Cod 1. What made you choose Cape Cod for your wedding? I grew up in Mattapoisett and spent my childhood exploring the shoreline and ocean, and knew that I’d want to get married close to home. I also attended Tabor Academy for high school and wanted to honor that special time in my life by getting married in their chapel. 2. Why would you tell future brides and grooms to get married on Cape Cod? It is such a beautiful place and has such a cute, quaint feel that is perfect for weddings
Your Wedding! 1. In a three words, how would you describe your wedding? Detailed, classy & fun! 2. Was your wedding exactly what you had envisioned? Even better than I imagined! 3. What was your biggest concern in planning your wedding? Putting all of my ideas together in a clear, concise and organized way. I had the vision, but wasn’t sure how to pull it all together 4. What was your favorite part of the planning process? What was the most difficult part? I loved finding special little details to add to the wedding decor to make it really personal, as well as putting together the actual wedding ceremony together myself. The most difficult part was sticking to a budget haha! 5. What was your favorite part of the wedding? Everything! 6. Looking back, would you change anything about your wedding? If so, what and why? I wouldn’t change anything! 7. Who was your favorite vendor? Our photographer Alanna Scully, who perfectly captured our day with her beautiful photo-journalistic style and candids! 8. What do you think your guests would say their favorite part of your wedding was? We have heard it time and time again that it was one of the best weddings theyve been to! They loved the food and the dancing! 9. How would you title your wedding? (e.g. The wedding with the best food and dancing!) The wedding with incredible food, lots of dancing and personalized attention to detail
Wedding Planner 1. Why did you decide to hire a wedding planner? I wanted support and help to organize my vision for my special day 2.How did having a planner contribute to the success of your wedding? Having a planner really helped to pull everything together, I loved also bouncing ideas off of each other, getting an experienced perspective on how different ideas would work, and to help me to save money on most things! 3. For upcoming brides, why do you think it is important for them to consider hiring a planner? Planning a wedding is so much work and two heads are better than one, and planners help to put our fires that may come up on your wedding day when you should be completely immersed in the day rather than worrying about anything! 4. What was it like working with a planner? What was your overall experience like? It was excellent! Jamie was incredible from start to finish- she was professional, organized, and incredibly helpful with everything from tracking down our caterer to buying more bottles of vodka the night of the wedding when we were running low, to holding my veil and hiding behind my dress for photos (it was windy), and setting up all the details on the morning of the wedding! She also ran our wedding rehearsal which was incredibly helpful!! 5. Why would you recommend Cape Cod Celebrations over other companies? Their experience and reputation are a cut above the rest!
Wedding Advice 1. What advice would you give other brides about planning a wedding? Hire a planner- for real. Also, have fun through the process and remember the core of why you’re planning a wedding in the first place- to celebrate your partnership and commitment to each other. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in seating charts and opinions of others, but ultimately it is about the two of you! 2.What was most helpful to you in the planning process? I loved being able to email/communicate with Jamie whenever I needed to throughout the planning process- it made it easy to tackle things without getting overwhelmed 3. What do you wish you would have known before planning your wedding? Weddings are more expensive than you think haha! But hiring a planner helped us to save money!
The Future 1. What do you think will be the next big trend for weddings? What do you think weddings will be like 20 years from now? Drones will film it? Or maybe that’s already happening? 2. How’s married life!? Married life is wonderful and hard and fun and boring and everything in between. We have had some incredible highs and heartbreaking lows, but have grown together through everything.

Back in 2017 we started a "Cape Cod Couples Tell All" series with Scott and Leonora and continued it last year with Annie and Brian. This year we are kicking it back in to gear with Courtney & Caleb who were married April 18, 2015 at Chatham Bars Inn - 4 years ago! Cape Cod 1. What made you choose Cape Cod for your wedding? Beautiful setting and a special connection to the venue, itself. 2. Why would you tell future brides and grooms to get married on Cape Cod? Cape Cod is absolutely gorgeous and serene at any time of year. Even in the heart of winter, you cannot beat the breathtaking views of the ocean and the cool crisp air. We were married in early spring to avoid the summer crowds and the weather on our wedding day was absolutely perfect, 60 degrees and sunny with the bluest sky. We couldn’t have asked for more.
Your Wedding! 1. In three words, how would you describe your wedding? Whimsical, entertaining, intimate. 2. Was your wedding exactly what you had envisioned? Perfect! Exceeded our expectations. 3. What was your biggest concern in planning your wedding? Trying to keep the day true to our identities. 4. What was your favorite part of the planning process? What was the most difficult part?The food tasting! And getting to know all of our vendors well. Really can’t think of any difficulties. A true testament to how easy Jamie made the process for us! She did most of the hard work! 5. What was your favorite part of the wedding? The ceremony, the food, the ambiance, the food, the reception, the food. Did I mention the food? Honestly, everything from start to finish. Being able to relax on our wedding day knowing Jamie was handling everything behind the scenes. We were able to truly enjoy the day with nothing on our minds but each other. 6. Looking back, would you change anything about your wedding? If so, what and why? Not a thing! 7. Who was your favorite vendor? CBI! They executed the most amazing menu for the day. 8. What do you think your guests would say their favorite part of your wedding was? Overall, how unique it was. Specifically, the food, the photo booth, and all the dancing at the reception. 9. How would you title your wedding? (e.g. The wedding with the best food and dancing!) Best wedding ever!
Wedding Planner 1. Why did you decide to hire a wedding planner? To make the process easier and less time-consuming and to get guidance on local vendors. 2. How did having a planner contribute to the success of your wedding? It contributed immensely! We needed Jamie’s firsthand knowledge of the venue and her experience with all of the vendors. She was able to guide us in the right direction based on our personal style and vision. Also, just offering the simple tip of how to stand with each other during our ceremony was so helpful! 3. For upcoming brides, why do you think it is important for them to consider hiring a planner? It’ll save so much time during the process as you’ll have to devote less energy to researching venues and vendors. 4. What was it like working with a planner? What was your overall experience like? Wonderful! We had the best time working with Jamie! She truly respected our vision for the day and guided us in the right direction to make sure our wedding felt unique and personal. She “got” us. 5. Why would you recommend Cape Cod Celebrations over other companies? You’ll get such an individualized experience, Jamie will truly make you feel like you’re her only client.  Wedding Advice 1. What advice would you give other brides about planning a wedding? Get as much help as you can, otherwise it can be so overwhelming. Just remember the day is ultimately about you and your partner and as long as you are staying true to yourselves, your wedding will be perfect! 2. What was most helpful to you in the planning process? Jamie’s knowledge and attentiveness. 3. What do you wish you would have known before planning your wedding? How easy it could be with help!
The Future 1. What do you think will be the next big trend for weddings? What do you think weddings will be like 20 years from now? I think weddings will become more personalized over time. You’ll see more weddings reflecting what couples want to do and less what they feel like they have to do. There won’t be as much of a wedding “script” and couples will feel more free to design their day based on their own personal identities. 2. How’s married life!? It is amazing! We’ve had such a blissful 4-years of marriage and have been back to the Cape for 2 anniversaries/baby moons since our wedding and really got to relive the magical moments of our wedding day on both occasions. We feel so lucky to have had such a special and personalized wedding and owe so much to Jamie for making it all happen!  Vendors
