Morgan & Jackson || Everhart Gathering Place

The Proposal

of

Morgan & Jackson

Jackson and Morgan met in high school and started dating on April Fool’s Day in 2015. They were both juniors and worked together at Coldstone during that summer.
While applying to colleges, they were worried about whether they would end up in the same place. Luckily, Morgan & Jackson were accepted to the University of Cincinnati and decided to attend college together. It was a new and exciting chapter in their lives, but it felt comforting to experience it all together.
In 2020, Morgan and Jackson lived together in their senior year of college and got their first fur baby, Blitzen. However, the COVID pandemic presented them with many challenges as they tried to graduate and find jobs while juggling a pandemic and a puppy.
Fast forward to 2021, and it was Morgan and Jackson’s anniversary, which they decided to celebrate with a weekend trip to Gervasi, a winery in northern Ohio. They had a fantastic dinner and took a romantic walk around the grounds, ending up at a campfire where Morgan’s parents surprised them. And then… Jackson popped the question! It was a magical evening that these two lovebirds will never forget.

The Wedding

of

Morgan & Jackson

Oh, Morgan and Jackson’s wedding day was just a dream come true from start to finish! Morgan planned everything without a wedding planner, and although she would love to take the credit for such a beautiful day, their team of vendors was just spectacular. The photographer, Jessica, was so sweet and helpful and captured every moment they could imagine. She was a gem to have next to you on your wedding day!
Morgan and Jackson’s wedding planning started in a non-traditional way. They toured their venue while it was still under construction. After meeting with the owner, Danielle, Morgan, and Jackson knew that it was meant to be their venue. They booked it and waited months to see the final product, hoping it would be as stunning as the mock-up photos. And, when they finally saw Everhart in person, it was perfect in every way, without missing a single detail.
One of the main factors Morgan and Jackson looked for when booking their wedding was that they wanted it to be a whole weekend event. And they got lucky that Everhart offered that option. Morgan and Jackson arrived on Friday with all their closest friends and family, and they started setting up. They transformed the venue into the perfect vision that Morgan had dreamed of. On Friday evening, at the bridal party, Morgan’s mom and she got to stay on-site at the cabin and have a girls’ spa night, which was perfect the night before the big day.
On the wedding morning, their team of vendors nailed everything flawlessly. Although planning a wedding yourself may have rough and stressful patches, Morgan is grateful to have made many unforgettable memories. It was just a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Bridal & Formal Experience

One of the best memories of this whole process I can thank Bridal & Formal. As most girls do – I had watched Say Yes to the Dress growing up and always dreamed of getting my bridal moment with Randy Fenoli. Before planning my wedding, I had yet to learn he frequently did trunk shows at Bridal & Formal, and I saw a posting for his upcoming trunk show on Wednesday of that week. I immediately called the shop and was told all appointments were booked, and accepted I couldn’t have that moment. The weekend came, and I phoned again Friday afternoon, and to my surprise, there had been a cancellation for that Sunday, and we booked it immediately. From walking in the doors at Bridal & Formal, it was a fantastic experience. My bridal consultant, Kelly, was sweet and helpful with picking my gowns. Meeting Randy and trying his dresses was better than I could have imagined. I luckily fell in love with one of his dresses and got my own Say Yes to the Dress moment, which I will never forget.
My sales consultant was Kelly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better consultant. She was such a sweet and kind person, which made my experience even better than I imagined. My favorite moment during my appointment was when I wanted to try on a trendy sample dress that day during the trunk show, and she managed to steal it from another fitting room (don’t worry, we put it back, haha); I knew she had my back to find my perfect Dress, and we did!
