Our reception, consisting of a cocktail hour, buffet dinner, and dancing, was held at Lake Wilderness Lodge immediately following the ceremony. 

Many thanks to: Kirstie Warren, our wedding coordinator, and her assistant; the staff and management at Lake Wilderness Lodge; Ben and the staff at Pyramid Catering; Kevin Olson, owner of Disco to Go - and an absolutely incredible DJ!, and Michelle and her staff in the bakery at Whole Foods for making the evening all we'd dreamed of, and then some.

Us, during the cocktail hour (why, yes, those are Mexican martinis from a recipe created at a Gardens party a few years ago):

Thanks, Sarah, for capturing a shot of our centerpieces (and thanks again, Mark, for taking these engagement pictures):

The spiral staircase made for a very "grand" entrance, indeed:
