A Gorgeous USNA Wedding

Caroline and Matthew couldn't have wished for a better day to be married! And the beautiful day definitely matched the beautiful ceremony and reception! 

Caroline made a very subtle dress change by adding a lace top over her strapless dress. How innovative! The couple also rolled out in a "Just Married" Rolls Royce! Just like the Royal Couple did. Congratulations to these two!

Melissa and Zach's soft and sweet wedding day was graced with beautiful weather while atop the Catherine Marie! The bride is one of 5 girls so you could say their family knew a thing or two about weddings! Event Pro provided the stellar decor and rentals while paying impeccable attention to detail.
