Taylor and Alex’s Belle Voir Manor Wedding was the perfect summer day. The historic 1700s riverside estate, which is part of the Pen Rynn Estate was a gorgeous setting for their special day. Taylor and Alex’s love story began when they met working at Sesame Place 10 years ago. They quickly became inseparable, and the rest is history. From the beautiful summer garden ceremony to the reception filled with love and laughter, the day was perfect and filled with personal touches and details. Taylor and Alex’s wedding was truly an unforgettable experience.
Belle Voir Manor is a stunning wedding venue in Pennsylvania, which sits on the 100 acre historic Pen Ryn Estate. The backdrop of the historic 17th-century estate was the perfect setting for Taylor and Alex’s special day, especially as they share a love of history. The venue has a sophisticated charm, with beautiful manicured gardens which are perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Inside, you’ll find a grand ballroom with high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers and floor to ceiling windows overlooking Belle Voir Manor’s rolling lawns.
Taylor’s wedding details included heirloom handkerchiefs and her grandmother’s ring. While Alex donned custom cufflinks engraved with the iconic Star Wars Leia & Han quote “I love you”, “I know” – a gift from Taylor. As a sports lover and coach, Alex’s details wouldn’t be complete without 76ers socks. Alex also gifted his groomsmen socks featuring their favorite teams.
Another special touch was the wedding guest book. Instead of a traditional guest book, guests signed a custom monogrammed wooden signed that the couple can hang on their wall. And instead of place cards, Taylor & Alex welcomed guests with a beautiful display of wine bottles filled with fairy lights and engraved with guests’ names.
Taylor & Alex’s ceremony was an emotional highlight of the day. Their officiant, a personal friend, shared some of the challenges the couple overcame together through Taylor’s successful fight against cancer. Tears of love and happiness flowed as the couple said “I Do” in Belle Voir Manor’s beautiful summer gardens.
The reception was held in the beautiful ballroom at Belle Voir Manor. The room was decorated with candles and deep blue orchids. After guests enjoyed appetizers during cocktail hour, the party began with heartfelt first dances and hilarious toasts. Best Man Palmer donned a fake beard to symbolize the amount of time that he had to wait for Taylor & Alex to finally tie the knot.
Both Taylor & Alex are musically talented – Taylor is an accomplished dancer and Alex a singer. The couple and guests sang and danced the night away.
