Wed in the City

When West Manor expanded last October and began the management of City View I was nervous we might have some unhappy brides who had booked a location that was about to get an over haul to say the least!  I have to admitt our brides took the news well, and were each down for what I would ensure would be a dream day!!!  After months of redesign we were ready to give Katie and Mike a wedding reception they would NEVER forget!!  As guests entered jaws dropped…and I thought Katie would have a heart attack out of excitement waiting to be introduced.  Thanks to fabulous Crystal George Studios for capturing one memorable wedding and Lynchburg’s hottest new restaurant, lounge, and special event location!  A special thanks to Love is in the Air for the most amazing centerpieces and floral designs.
