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.

Belle Voir Manor Wedding | Personal Touches

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.
