The beauty of weddings is that every event is different. From style preferences and personal touches, to tradition and inspiration – each wedding is a unique product of the couple’s hard work and planning. Latoya and Rodney were married at RiverCrest Golf Club & Preserve on November 11, 2018, and we asked them to take us on a visual tour of their Autumn Wedding Day!Let’s walk through their day to see how they pulled it all together!

10:00 a.m. – Getting Ready

Latoya and her bridal party began getting ready in the RiverCrest Bridal Suite, while Rodney was getting ready at home. The couple’s Photographer, Burkett Photography, & Videographer from EBE Talent arrived for some getting ready content.

4:30 p.m. – Ceremony

Latoya and her bridal party headed to the Patio Terrace at RiverCrest to meet Rodney and be married. Their ceremony was officiated by Rodney’s family pastor, Reverend Nathan Coleman of Bethel Baptist Church in Phoenixville.

6:00 p.m. – Reception

The reception doors opened at RiverCrest, and the Autumnal vibe was beautiful! High and low floral centerpieces adorned with burnt orange and cream flowers brought the whole room together. Amber lighting throughout the room created a warm, intimate feel.

We were able to ask Latoya & Rodney a few questions about their wedding day… Check it out!

What was your favorite moment from your wedding?

Walking down the aisle together after saying our “I do”s as husband and wife for the first time.

I asked Katrina a series of serious & silly questions to get to know her better. Check it out below!

EBE Real Weddings: Dubraska & Jill

By | Uncategorized

The beauty of weddings is that every event is different. From style preferences and personal touches, to tradition and inspiration – each wedding is a unique product of the couple’s hard work and planning.

We asked Social Worker, Dubraska, and Social Media & Logistics Manager, Jill, to take us on a visual tour of their wedding day. They celebrated their gorgeous Philadelphia Wedding on November 25th, 2017 at 23rd Street Armory in Center City West. Their Wedding Style was industrial and chic with some beautiful earthy touches, and their color palate matched that perfectly.

Let’s walk through their day to see how they pulled it all together!

9:00 a.m. – Getting Ready

Dubraska and Jill woke up together at the Embassy Suites Center City Philadelphia Hotel, and promptly moved to separate rooms across the hall from each other. They were each joined by their bridal parties, mothers, and their team of stylists. Ahlee and Ronnie of Juju Salon & Organics took care of everyone’s hair, while Angelic Hair + Makeup Designs, lead by Angel Simpkins, handled everyone’s makeup.

1:30 p.m. – Photographer + Videographer Arrive

The couple’s Photographer, Colin Coleman of Colin Coleman Photography, and Videographer, Andrew Gormley of Silver and Spark, arrived for some getting ready photos and video at the hotel.  

2:00 p.m. – First Look

The couple went across the street to Sister Cities Park for their first look, and to take some formal portraits. 

3:00 p.m. – Head to the Venue

Philly Transportation, LLC took Dubraska, Jill, and their wedding parties to the 23rd Street Armory, where the couple would tie the knot. The rest of the pre-ceremony photos were taken in the Armory before their ceremony began. The Bridesmaids’ Dresses and Flower Girls’ dresses were from Azazie, Dubraska’s Pantsuit was by Jill Jill Stuart from BHLDN, and Jill’s Gown was by Oleg Cassini from David’s Bridal.

5:00 p.m. – Ceremony

The candlelit ceremony was breathtaking, with pipe & draping, fairy lights, and uplights by EBE Talent. Their ceremony was officiated by Michael Wehrman, a dear friend of the couple. The music and ceremony sound amplification were also provided by EBE. Dubraska and Jill are long-time whiskey lovers, and incorporated a whiskey pour into their ceremony. They each took a white whiskey and poured it into a charred barrel to age together and share in a few months.

6:00 p.m. – Cocktail Hour

Cocktail Hour began as a trio from EBE Imagine played New Orleans-style jazz. While guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, the ceremony area was flipped for the reception. Over 100 candles, lanterns, and photos were displayed along the tables to create an intimate feel in such a large space.

7:00 p.m. – Reception

The reception doors opened, and their guests were ready to party! Dubraska and Jill shared their first dance, then EBE’s Imagine played dance music that got all the couple’s guests right on the dance floor – where they would remain for most of the evening.

The couple chose to utilize food trucks for their wedding, rather than a traditional caterer. Their guests had unlimited access to food trucks from Dos Hermanos Tacos, Baby Blues BBQ, Hai Street Kitchen Sushi Burritos and Poke Bowls, and Jules Thin Crust Pizza for dinner, and a Chilly Banana food truck of frozen banana whips for dessert.

To celebrate Dubraska’s Venezuelan culture, the couple chose to have La Hora Loca, or “The Crazy Hour”, during their reception. Prop glasses, necklaces, streamers, and other giveaways were handed out to their guests, and Imagine’s DJ/Drum Combo dialed up the party from a perfect 10 to a 20!

Congratulations again, Dubraska and Jill!

EBE Spotlight: Tara Buchanan Glick

By | Uncategorized

EBE is made up of a myriad of people and personalities. Throughout this series of EBE Spotlights, we’re looking past the job title and learning more about what makes our team tick. We were able to sit down with Tara Buchanan Glick this week, EBE’s Director of Production & Events.

Tara has been in the event industry for 17 years, and has been with EBE for 13 of them. Throughout those 13 years, she has been an integral part of the growth that EBE has experienced. Tara is one of the two EBE Event Planners on staff, and, most importantly, is the Director of Production & Events. She has coordinated the lighting, sound, and production for over 1,000 events, and specializes in custom lighting designs.

Tara, or “T” as we lovingly call her, has a contagious laugh that keeps us all going. She is most often found reciting the details of every venue from memory, finalizing the perfect shade of blue lighting, and running between meetings and walk-throughs, all while managing to remember everyone’s birthday. Tara truly is the heart of EBE.

Photo by Colin Coleman Photography

I asked T a series of serious & silly questions to get to know her better. Check it out below!

What instruments do you play? I play upon the nerves of my staff 🙂

What is your go-to at karaoke? Jolene

Who is your hero? My Husband

What is your favorite movie? Big Fish

What is your zodiac sign? Virgo

If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to and why? 1969ish….I’ve always felt like I belong in that era and I’d love to explore it.

What motivates you to work hard? My Daughter

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Turkey Tacos

If you were a superhero, what powers would you have? The power to heal….for humans and for malfunctioning technology

What’s the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? Giving birth was pretty crazy!

What was the best event you ever worked? My favorite event is a fundraiser for a non-profit Food Share program that we have done several years in a row. We get to take their actual distribution warehouse and have hundreds of pallets moved to another location for a few days while we turn the space into a hip indoor garden and raise a ton of money to stop hunger. So we get to feed our souls while they help feed Philadelphia.

What is your favorite thing about your career? I love that we can take a boring or sometimes truly dilapidated space and transform it into something spectacular with the magic of lighting and production.
On the social side with weddings and mitzvahs, I love helping a client plan an event that, in many cases, they’ve dreamed about their entire lives and then getting to watch everything come to fruition on the big day with all of the genuine emotions. I am a very sappy and sentimental person so it is the ultimate reward to me. These are the moments that life is all about!
I love non-profit fundraisers because they remind us how vital one event can be since many organizations rely heavily on those proceeds to sustain. The closest to to my heart are our annual repeat non-profit clients because we had the opportunity to help them raise money for an amazing cause once and now we get to help them again every year while seeing how their organizations have grown and are making the Philadelphia/South Jersey area a truly better place!

Show us your work!

Real Weddings: Adrianna & Stephen

By | Uncategorized

The beauty of weddings is that every event is different. From style preferences and personal touches, to tradition and inspiration – each wedding is a unique product of the couple’s hard work and planning.

Attorneys Adrianna & Stephen met while attending college at St Joseph’s University. During Adrianna’s last year of college in 2011, she told Steve that one day she would get engaged in the courtyard of Barbelin at St. Joe’s, as she always felt it was an intimate and romantic spot. Little did she know Steve remembered these details and proposed a few years later.

We asked them to take us on a visual tour of their wedding day with their amazing vendors. They celebrated their fairy-tale Cescaphe Wedding on April 21st, 2018 at Tendenza. Their wedding style was based on a woodland theme with tons of greenery, candles, and vintage books.Let’s walk through their day to see how they pulled it all together!

7:30 a.m. – Getting Ready

Adrianna & Stephen both got ready in separate suites at The Hilton at Penn’s Landing. Adrianna had a slumber party with her bridal party the night before, which allowed everyone to wake up ready to go!

The couple’s Photography & Videography Team from JPG Photography arrived for some getting ready content.

2:30 p.m. – Ceremony

Adrianna, Stephen, and their wedding party were taken to St Augustine Church for their ceremony by the Cescaphe Trolley. Stephen and his groomsmen wore tuxedos from The Black Tux, and Adrianna’s bridal party wore mismatched pink, gold, and rose gold dresses from Bella Bridesmaids. Adrianna wore a Maggie Sottero gown from Bridal Garden in Marlton, NJ with Marchesa jewelry.

Their pastor, Fr. Mke Matveenko, and ceremony musicians were from Adrianna’s home church in Sicklerville, NJ. Both Adrianna and Stephen were raised Catholic, and making this sacrament was very important to them. They incorporated readings from the bible, a blessing to the Virgin Mary, and chose traditional music for their Processional, Hymns, and Recessional.

3:30 p.m. – Cocktail Hour

While guests enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a string duo from EBE Sydney, and an aerialist from Jewelz Entertainment during the cocktail hour at Tendenza, the newly-married couple took some formal portraits at St Augustine Church & the Merchants Exchange Building.

5:00 p.m. – Reception

The reception doors opened at Tendenza, and their guests were ready to party! Adrianna & Stephen were introduced as Husband and Wife for the first time, they shared their first dance to Say You Won’t Let Go by James Arthur. They took dance lessons with Bianca Gatto & Tiffani Giosa of Chez Dance Studio leading up to the wedding. After their formalities, EBE Sydney was ready to fill the dance floor.

We were able to ask Adrianna & Stephen a few questions about their wedding day… Check it out!

What was your favorite part of wedding planning?

I am all about the details! I loved designing my gorgeous table arrangements and wedding décor with the help of Jackie from Beautiful Blooms and Jessica Hinds of Something Borrowed Philly, who provided gorgeous vintage pieces for our reception. Planning a wedding can be very overwhelming especially when Pinterest exists, but I loved that I was able to make my own ideas come to life for our wedding day.

What was your favorite moment from your wedding?

My favorite moment of the day was walking down the aisle to Steve and seeing him for the first time on our wedding day. I know it is totally cliché, but in that moment it truly felt like it was just him and I. You spend so much time planning flowers, décor, dresses, the cake, that you can sometimes lose sight of the true meaning of the day – to celebrate the love we have for each other and deciding that our story should be a forever story.

Did either of you have any “must-haves” for your wedding day?

We both absolutely hands-down wanted to have a band! We both love to dance and just have an amazing time, so when we found EBE and Sydney we knew that we would in for an unforgettable night!

What was it like working with EBE?

Total peace of mind! Nick Centrella (EBE Sydney’s Bandleader) could run a wedding with his eyes closed. He answered all of our questions and then some during the planning process. He also worked with my family to make very special and personal moments at our wedding day, which we are both so very thankful for!

What made you choose EBE?

They are simply the best when it comes to this industry. The talent, professionalism, and overall enthusiasm made our wedding that much better!

What is your advice to future EBE brides and grooms in regards to the stress of wedding planning and the choosing of vendors?

Choosing vendors is a very time consuming and tedious process, but you are planning this very special day to celebrate the love you have with your partner. I know it gets overwhelming and frustrating, but taking the time to research and to get to know your vendors will absolutely pay off in the long run. Never be afraid to ask questions and do not wait until the last minute to try and book a vendor.

Real Weddings: Ryanne & Conner

By | Uncategorized

The beauty of weddings is that every event is different. From style preferences and personal touches, to tradition and inspiration – each wedding is a unique product of the couple’s hard work and planning.

HR Representative, Ryanne, and Third Grade Teacher, Conner, met in 2012 when they were both students at Lock Haven University. They were friends throughout college, and then Ryanne moved out to California for an internship. Conner flew out to visit for a week, and they realized it was the real deal… they’ve been together ever since! 

We asked them to take us on a visual tour of their wedding day with their amazing EBE Team Members: MC Jon Mulhern, DJ Audio Phoenix, and Drummer Rick Lowery. They celebrated their beautiful Harrisburg Wedding on September 8th, 2018 at Harmony Hall Estate. Their wedding style was rustic, woodsy, and DIY with a eucalyptus-inspired color palate.Let’s walk through their day to see how they pulled it all together!

9:00 a.m. – Getting Ready

Ryanne & Conner both got ready in the Farm House at Harmony Hall Estate. Ryanne was with her bridal party in the Bridal Suite, while Conner was on the first floor. Ryanne’s Hair & Makeup Team was curated by Liz Lesher, Stylist and Owner of Lush Hair Lab.The couple’s Photographer, Christopher Brittain, arrived for some getting ready photos.  

5:30 p.m. – Ceremony

Ryanne & Conner were married at outside of the Farm House at Harmony Hall Estate. Conner and his groomsmen wore matching suits from JoS. A. Bank, and Ryanne’s bridal party wore mismatched steel blue dresses from David’s Bridal. Ryanne’s dress, also from David’s Bridal, was a gift from above. Her Galina lace dress was retailed for above her budget, but she just kept trying it on. After deciding to splurge on her dream dress, she brought it to the counter and it rang up as $99!

Their ceremony music was provided by EBE DJ Jon Mulhern, which consisted of Vitamin String Quartet versions of 3 Libras, The Only Exception, and I Miss You. Ryanne and Conner chose a childhood friend of Conner’s, Richard, to act as the officiant for their ceremony. After they said their vows, the newly married couple and their Wedding Parties exited to Brandy by Looking Glass.

6:00 p.m. – Cocktail Hour

While guests enjoyed cocktail hour, the newly-married couple took some formal portraits.

7:00 p.m. – Reception

The reception doors opened in the main building at Harmony Hall, and the guests were ready to party! Ryanne & Conner were introduced as Husband and Wife for the first time, they shared their first dance to Ferrari by Bebe Rexha. After that, the EBE team was ready to fill the dance floor.

We were able to ask Ryanne & Conner a few questions about their wedding day… Check it out!

What was your favorite part of wedding planning?

Booking with EBE!! Music was the MOST important piece for us!! Nothing else compared to the excitement we felt knowing the music was going to be amazing. We couldn’t wait to dance all night with our friends.

What was your favorite moment from your wedding?

Conner’s vows. THEY were AWESOME!!!

What was it like working with EBE?

From our very first call with Joel Aaron…he could hear it in our voice how much we wanted an EBE Wedding. We couldn’t quite budget for a band and they were booking up fast (cause they are amazing, duh!). We hung up with Joel, feeling upset because we had our heart set on EBE. We emailed him an afterthought and said, “What about your DJ pricing?” He e-mailed us back right away and told us to call him. We talked for about 45 minutes and he sold us on the MC/DJ/Drummer combo (DJ Live) which we were SO HAPPY AND EXCITED FOR. It was exactly in our budget and worth every single penny. (Conner has played the drums his whole life, so the drummer element was such an awesome addition.) Our guests are still talking about how cool it was.

What made you choose EBE?

My (Ryanne’s) cousin had a live EBE band at their wedding (Barcelona). I went up to my dad that night and said, “I want EBE at my wedding.” I wasn’t even engaged!! LOL.

If you could’ve changed something about your wedding, what would it have been?

I (Ryanne) wasn’t feeling well at one point and had to excuse myself for about an hour during the reception. I hated it because I seriously just wanted to be on the dance floor.

What is your advice to future EBE brides and grooms in regards to the stress of wedding planning and the choosing of vendors?

Have faith in those you hire to do the job and go with your gut. I knew I was in excellent hands with EBE and when I wasn’t feeling well, they handled it so professionally by keeping my guests going. We picked up right where we needed to be as soon as I gave Jon the go-ahead. I SO appreciated that!
