I love creating vision boards for clients. It allows me to use the creative process in helping to bring a vision to life. And, the variety of venues, styles, colors and themes is endless.

The Elkins Estate in the Philadelphia area is a glorious example of the Gilded Age. From the sprawling gardens to the stunning balconies, inside and out, it boasts an elegance of times gone by. When guests arrive, they are greeted by the long driveway up to the grand entrance. Entering into the marble foyer, the grandeur and opulence abounds and they are instantly transported into another era.
This magnificent estate lends itself to a weekend retreat for you and your wedding party to relax, enjoy and soak in all of the history, explore the grounds and journey back to another time. There are plenty of accommodations, a ballroom for 300 guests and all the amenities for an elegant wedding.
If you are seeking a place like no other, with indoor and outdoor features, plenty of photo opportunities and the best of everything, you will want to visit Elkins Estate.

If a big city wedding is what you imagine, The 620 Loft and Garden in Rockefeller Center, NYC may be your choice. This stunning terrace overlooking St Patrick's Cathedral spires and its beautiful garden will not disappoint.
When your guests step off the elevator they are greeted by the industrial feel of a New York loft and then are quickly transported into a garden fantasy with manicured lawns and a view of the city.
An outdoor ceremony on the lawn, followed by cocktail hour on the terrace and dinner in the loft, black and white with plenty of window views. This modern loft venue lends itself to the urban couple who wants an intimate affair with plenty of views, a city backdrop and some of the most delicious food in the city. 620 Loft and Gardens can accommodate 120 guests for a seated dinner or 160 guests for a cocktail reception.
From gardens, to barns, to industrial city venues and country estates, there is no end to any vision you have for your wedding. I will continue to showcase other venues, other visions in the coming weeks. And, if you have a vision you want to explore, feel free to get in touch at Angel of Hearts Weddings and Events. I would love to hear your ideas!!
