Fairytale Setting: Castle on the Shore

Jaime and Mark’s ceremony and reception was held at the Inn at Erlowest, a timeless castle located in Lake George, New York.

This excerpt from their website describes it perfectly…

Entering this magnificent turn-of-the-century Queen Anne stone castle conjures up thoughts of guests mingling after a day on the lake, of parties with candlelight and crystal and laughter, of the elegance of a time gone by. Happily, the spirit of that time lives on – at The Inn at Erlowest.  Located on beautiful and historic Lake George, in the heart of the majestic Adirondack Mountains, Erlowest recalls an era when people escaped from the cities to enjoy mountain air and pristine beauty while luxuriating in elegance and sophistication.

Jaimie and Mark are big fans of the Jersey Shore and one of its most popular rock bands, The Nerds. We teamed up with Jim Garcia and the boys for the reception as well as a string trio for the ceremony.  It was a combination that made for an unforgettable wedding day.

The highlight of the night came after the cake cutting. Jaime and Mark made arrangements for a spectacular fireworks display to take place on the lake while all of their guests enjoyed Viennese-styled dessert stations out on the terrace. The view from the castle was incredible.

If you want to make your wedding reception memorable, in a good way, consider adding a great band,  finding a romantic castle, and inviting 200 of the most  fun loving family members and friends you have. It worked for Jaime and Mark.

On a side note, kudos to the Nerds for their “show must go on” attitude.  Their equipment truck broke down on the way from the shore and had to have a tow truck take them all the way to the Inn.  They still made it on time and rocked the house with their famous high-energy sets without missing a beat.
