Therese and Sherif Poconos Fall Wedding
Therese and Sherif had the perfect Poconos Fall Wedding filled with stunning rich fall autumnal colors. The Armory was the ideal place for them to host their unique reception after a traditional church wedding ceremony at their family church. The couple got ready at their family homes and then headed to the ceremony in The Armory’s shuttle before continuing on to the local park where many of our couples get their portraits done at Brodhead Creek Park. From there the couple made their way to The Armory for cocktail hour and the reception where they had a full dance floor all night.
We loved how the vendors at Therese and Sherif’s wedding made the day seamless and stress-free for the couple. The Armory’s full-day wedding packages allowed for the vendors to have the venue fully set up earlier in the day to allow for the couple’s vision to come to life and the couple to just show up with their guests to celebrate the day exactly as they imagined.
Vendors:
- Photographer: Birds of a Feather
- Caterer: Rogue Tacos
- Florist: Talana Marias
- Venue: The Armory
