Gorgeous Indoor Wedding - Rochester, NY - Chrissy & Joel

May 8

I first met Chrissy when she was the bridesmaid at Patrick and Theresa's winter wedding last year. Chrissy was bold and fun, and I was so happy when she reached out a few months later to say she just got engaged!

Their wedding day was perfect from start to finish: the guys got ready at the Hyatt downtown, which is super convenient to the Wintergarden, so they just walked over when they were done!

Everything else happened at the Wintergarden. The Wintergarden is a perfect Rochester winter wedding venue because they have so much space available: ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception can all happen in different locations, and it's WARM, so no one freezes their tail off! 🙂 It even looks outdoors-y inside with real trees, which is perfect in the wintertime!

And Chrissy loved not one but TWO wedding dresses, so she changed before the reception so she could enjoy both 🙂

Chrissy is the owner of Wally's Pub in Canandaigua. As I asked people throughout the day how they knew Chrissy, the answer was almost always "the bar". They've developed a tight-knit group of friends at Wally's, and I loved seeing the meaningful difference a local business can make on the lives of so many people.

Chrissy and Joel, thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your wedding day! Congratulations!
