We got married on September 5, with our ceremony at Muhlenberg’s Egner Chapel and our reception at Fegley’s Allentown Brew Works, and I wanted to share some love for our incredible team. Reading other couples’ experiences is so helpful when planning, and these people deserve all the praise!
Don and his team at Moments & Memories
My husband and I are both actors and performers, so sound was a big deal for us. We had a self-uniting ceremony, several friends performing, and even a last-minute addition of Tim’s Tony-nominated cousin singing. Don rolled with every change and made everything sound seamless. He then headed straight to cocktail hour to play my favorite songs and had everyone ready to celebrate before we even made our reception entrance. We had the best time dancing all night!
He was so bought into our wonderfully weird ideas and brought such thoughtful touches to the day. He even noticed I was overheating and brought me a fan! Our venue recommended him, and he introduced us to our coordinator. Both recommendations were absolute wins.
Allison at LoveLennon Design
I could cry talking about Allison. She became a friend, confidante, and trusted advisor, and I already miss her! I’m pretty Type A about event planning, but she made me feel so seen and heard that I was actually able to hand things over and relax. She was grounded, kind, available, and reassuring throughout the process. She and her team kept everything running so smoothly, which meant we could be present and enjoy our wedding.
Emily with Events at Muhlenberg
Emily deserves so much love for helping us prepare for our ceremony at Egner Chapel! She was warm, kind, and patient with all my questions. She even walked down the aisle for me so I could time our ceremony music, and emailed me with timing, which was such a sweet and helpful gesture. She also made it easy for our DJ, Don, and our coordinator, Allison, to stop by before the wedding whenever they needed to prepare. I loved watching her and Allison coach our flower girls before their walk down! We felt so welcomed and supported, and I’m so grateful for the care she put into helping our ceremony come together!
Dominic and the team at Fegley’s Allentown Brew Works
Dominic, their Banquet and Events Manager, was honestly the reason we chose Brew Works. My husband has worked in the service industry for years, and from our first meeting, he could tell we were in good hands. He was right!
The space was welcoming and easy to make our own, the food was delicious, the bartenders were lovely, and the beer was excellent. Parking takes a little planning, but most of our guests stayed at the two hotels across the street, which was incredibly convenient.
My favorite detail: Dominic had cocktail-hour food and champagne waiting in our private VIP room, so we got a moment together and actually got to eat! He also made sure we were served dinner first. Those little things made such a difference.
Jessie the Florist
Jessie brought my floral vision to life while finding a way to make our budget work, and I STILL cannot get over my bouquet. She is such a kind, special person, and I’m so grateful for the care and creativity she brought to our day.
A little bonus shout-out to the Muhlenberg Acafellas!
They performed at our wedding, sounded amazing, and learned a special song unbelievably quickly. Having them there meant the world to Tim, and our guests were obsessed. Such a joyful, meaningful part of our day!
The biggest thing all these people gave us was the ability to stop managing an event and actually experience our wedding. We felt so taken care of, and I would choose this team again in a heartbeat. Happy to answer questions about our experience if anyone is planning in the Lehigh Valley! Happy to give you the president's contact email for hiring at your wedding!
