Stephen & Vicki's Welcome Dinner

In late October we had the distinct honor and pleasure of designing, planning and coordinating an entire weekend of wedding events for the great couple, Stephen and Vicki. From the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony, reception and farewell brunch, everyone at Spencer Special Events simply adored being a part of the celebrations. Today we are excited to share the details of one part of the weekend: Friday night's Welcome!

A welcome celebration is a popular addition to a destination wedding weekend. It's not the same as the rehearsal dinner which is reserved for a smaller, more intimate party of exclusively bridal party and immediate family.  Rather, it's a party for all of the out of town (locals, too!) guests on the eve of the wedding.  It's a big 'ol kick-off, per say! 

Vicki and Stephen chose the Beach Club located in Shipyard Plantation for their welcome.  Spencer Special Events worked with the amazing A Floral Affair and Celebrations Catering and Events to ensure the decor was spot on and guests dined on mouth watering food.  Deaz Guys kept the crowd a dancing well into the evening with lively entertainment. The extensive dessert bar was a huge hit! 

Here's a look back at the photos from Landon Jacob Productions to get a sense for this fabulous Welcome to Hilton Head Island!

This party certainly set the stage for the fabulous wedding celebration ahead! Can not wait (eek!) to share those details with you soon.  What a ball we had working with these two lovebirds and our fab team of vendor friends!
