Here is her take on how it all went……

“When I walked into the lobby at 9:00 am on Saturday I was skeptical as to how the staff could pull off a wonderful wedding given that it was pouring rain. I stood at the front desk dripping wet from the 50 yard dash to the Inn from my car. At the front desk Tracy the reservation manager was busily answering the phones and making last minute corrections to the wedding schedule. Meanwhile, chefs, waiters, florists and managers bustled around me trying to organize. I was immediately assigned to the dinning room where I worked to set tables and prep for the event. Despite the pouring rain the staff was working tirelessly to make the inn would be able to deliver a unforgettable experience for the wedding party. By some miracle, at 10:30, just as the bride arrived from the off-site ceremony the sun was beginning to peek through the clouds and warm the drenched landscape. While the bride went up stairs to freshen up and the first few guests started to arrive the staff made last minute checks  through the inn to make sure everything was in order.  The dinning room looked flawless with purple lilac centerpieces and sunlight streaming through the wide windows.  The flower archway leading into the dinning room was the cherry on top of the cake. Guests gathered in the Sun room munching on hors d’oeuvres while the photographer snapped pictures of the flower girl playing in the front lawn.  Outside guests were relaxing on the porch enjoying the spectacular view of Ferry Beach and chatting animatedly about the newly weds.  I don’t know how it happened, but the chaos of earlier that morning had been replaced by a vibrant crowd basking in the enjoyment of the happy couple and the breathtaking scenery!  The rest of the afternoon flowed along right on schedule right to the point that the bride and groom left the inn for their honeymoon amid a storm of bubbles and confetti!

Black Point Inn had done it again!
