We here at Spencer Special Events are wondering where in the world 2016 went?! While we love ringing in the New Year with champagne and all things bling, we also delight in reflecting on the past wonderful year. We certainly had the pleasure of working with incredible couples and their families on creating the wedding of their dreams. Thank you to all of the incredible vendor friends and event partners for crafting the masterpieces! With celebration and lots of love, here is a recap of all of the fabulous soirees!

The LaHaie's

Venue: Morris Center

Savannah, Georgia

Could not have asked for a sweeter start to 2016 by planning Amanda's long time friend from her hometown in Indiana, Michael and his darling bride Lizzy's wedding just over the bridge in Savannah! Michael and Lizzy were so graceful and did a wonderful job of city meets the south for their wedding weekend celebration.

Even though this wedding was postponed due to Hurricane Matthew, Katie and Jackson were such a delight and handled the unfortunate situation with poise and gratefulness.

Last but not least, a fabulous New Years Eve wedding to celebrate 2016! Grace and John's modern decor with a twist of glamour, gold accents and poppers created the perfect atmosphere to ring in the New Year!

Put a bunch of event pros in a room celebrating a director of food and beverage having a baby and you get one sophisticated baby shower! We had a blast celebrating our dear friend and new Mama, Erica Pepper at Berkeley Hall Plantation. 

Erica's darling friends organized such a lovely afternoon with a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star theme. When guests arrived they were greeted with butler passed mimosas and Savannah's own Pink House pimento cheese straws. Folks left well wishes and signatures on a custom framed song sheet and left words of wisdom and giggles for the new parents. 

Some of our event partners and friends helped provide some of the decor making this shower nothing shy of details with beautiful linen, gold chargers, wooden chairs, beautiful flowers, and pictures to remember the affair! Berkeley Hall served delicious Shrimp n Grits followed by a fabulous Grilled Chicken Bibb Salad. If you are like me and love desserts, the dessert table was Heaven. The options were endless; star sugar cookies, chocolate tuxedo cups, a cake with two delicious flavors, and macaroons to take home as favors. Minette Rushing out did herself with the cake making a chocolate cake filled with peanut butter and chocolate ganache and another layer of pound cake filled with salted caramel and butter cream frosting. Of course we had to try both!

Thank you to all who helped organize and host! It was such a treat to be a guest. We send our love to the Pepper Family!
