Upstate New York Wedding Planners Perspective:

Welcoming the opportunity to plan Alex and David's wedding at The Rushmore Estate was truly a joy. Every detail was meticulously crafted to reflect their love story. The Rushmore Estate, with its breathtaking grounds and elegant charm, provided the perfect setting for a celebration filled with unforgettable moments. As their wedding planner, my goal was to ensure that their vision came to life seamlessly, creating a day that was as magical as their journey together. Working closely with Alex and David, we curated an experience that not only celebrated their union but also created lasting memories for all their guests.

The ceremony was particularly spectacular, featuring a stunning arbor created by TK Floral Designs. This grand structure, built on-site, was adorned with an abundance of white roses, creating a breathtaking focal point for the vows. The lush, fragrant blooms added a touch of timeless elegance and set the stage for an unforgettable exchange of vows. Working closely with Alex and David, we curated an experience that not only celebrated their union but also created lasting memories for all their guests.

Alex and his groomsmen brought a fun and energetic vibe to the morning preparations. As they walked into The Rushmore Estate, their photographer Nicole Nero  took "getting ready shots," mimicking football players arriving on game day. This playful entrance set a lively tone for the day and provided some fantastic photo opportunities, capturing their camaraderie and excitement for the celebration ahead.


Wedding Planners inside tips for having an incredible wedding at The Rushmore Estate:

When planning an outdoor wedding, always be prepared for unexpected weather changes. At The Rushmore Estate, having a strong plan B is essential. We recommend renting a tent to cover spaces for the reception or cocktail hour. This ensures that rain or other weather conditions won't dampen your special day, and you can still enjoy the beautiful estate surroundings.

Parking at The Rushmore Estate can be limited, so it's a great idea to arrange transportation for your guests. Providing shuttle services or organizing carpooling can make the arrival and departure process seamless. This not only reduces stress for your guests but also ensures everyone arrives on time and safely.

Make the getting-ready process enjoyable by ordering breakfast or lunch to The Rushmore Estate. Having a spread of delicious food available keeps everyone energized and happy while they prepare for the big day. This thoughtful touch can also create a relaxed and festive atmosphere, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the moments leading up to the ceremony.

The Rushmore Estate offers a wonderful opportunity to extend your celebration beyond just the wedding day. Consider hosting a welcome dinner the night before or a post-wedding brunch the next day. Utilizing the estate for the entire weekend provides a cohesive and immersive experience for you and your guests, making the celebration even more memorable.
