Allison and Matt had such a wonderful wedding day at Hyland Orchard in Sturbridge, MA. Getting there was not easy since they faced some challenges along the way including a date and venue change. On the morning of their wedding the skies opened up with rain and the ceremony was moved inside the pavilion to keep guests comfortable.


Thankfully the rain cleared and the evening turned into a crisp early fall night with one of the best sunsets of the year. Their intimate ceremony with close family and friends was absolutely lovely. Afterward we explored the grounds from the hilltop to the rotunda, the apple orchard, and the sunflower garden. The 360 degree sunset views over the orchard were breathtaking.


Allison and Matt added plenty of personal touches to their celebration. Guests built Lego figures for a creative Lego guestbook, they shared sweet honey jar favors, and they even provided animal feed so friends and family could enjoy visiting with the animals at Hyland. Once the sun set everyone gathered around the campfire, dancing and spending quality time together.


We loved working with Allison and Matt and are so glad that everything came together beautifully for these two.
