I got Engaged during a very emotional time for my family.
2-14-09 my husband asked my hand in marriage. we had already been together 9 yrs to the day of our engagement. Regardless, I wanted a BIG, ELEGANT,FUN, wedding.
I had some off the wall ideas and requests. Jerri Patterson took it all in( and probably a nerve pill or two haha) and got to work. She worked on my wedding from April '09 until the day we wed, May 8, '10. I consider my taste to be elegant, with a very wild streak. something had to be ""WOW!"" this wedding as a whole had to be ""WOW!!"" Jerri and her team did not disappoint.
As you can imagine with a little over a year to plan this event, I thought I had my mind made up on everything from the beginning, and I did:) but i changed my mind on everything except the wedding dress and the man.umm, ok, Honestly , I changed my mind on everything ,like,6 or 7 times!! Jerri may have wanted to strangle me at any one point, but she sure didn't show it.Finally I decided (firm) that Black and White Damask was the theme and my flowers were jade roses for a great pop. We were married at The Stowe Manor in Belmont, NC. We said our vows at 6:30 in the evening and our fabulous reception followed immediately after at the same venue. I arrived the evening before to stay the night at the Manor, and saw that the tables and chairs, linens and such were already perfectly in place.
When I woke in the morning of our wedding day I saw from upstairs a flurry of activity, like a well oiled machine, Jerri and her crew were bringing in all the center pieces, and bar glasses, plates, etc.. It was amazing to watch.. They almost silently put all the ""puzzle pieces"" together before my eyes. A dream became a vision in front of me!! Then it seemed like minutes later I was already dressed and waiting on the go ahead because I could hear the song that I was walking to playing..""Bittersweet Symphony""....Game time.
After the kiss, my husband and I were whisked away to take a breath and realize what we just did. Immediately we were approached by a team of people who catered to our every single need or want. My guests all received the same attentiveness, the food (Filet Mignon,among one of the choices of many) was Superb. Better than even my own expectations. The D.J. and Photographer, Quin and Tammy Stancil were the best ever!! They captured all the important moments one would expect, and moments I didn't know they got! They kept the party going so well, I wasn't sure the party was gonna end!!
My flowers, and cake....I dont know where to begin. Our cake was chocolate, with white butter cream fondant.Jerri had put our Black Damask theme to work so well all over the venue, even on the cake!! It didnt just look good , it was sooo good. I dont even really like cake but it was amazing! I could really go on and on and on, but I think I have written enough to get it through to a potential ""Jerri's Bride"" that if your considering her, go talk to her!!
If your not looking to be extremely happy with the results, then Jerri Patterson may not be right for you..
You know your wedding was a blast when your on the way to your honey moon, and guests are already calling you to tell you that ""Your wedding night was the best night of THEIR lives!""
Thank You Jerri!! xoxo
Pros: If you can dream it up, Jerri WILL make it reality!
Cons: What Cons????
