Paige and Brett’s Greensboro wedding day was filled with moments of pure magic at Rev Mill Events. The Courtyard was the perfect ceremony choice with summer in full bloom, feeling like it was straight out of a fairy tale.

From the moment their wedding day began, the bride and groom were surrounded by friends and family who were elated to be part of this beautiful day. You could truly feel the excitement and expectations for the festivities ahead. Paige and her bridesmaids took full advantage of The Suite as they got ready together, sharing laughter, tears and heartfelt moments.

CEREMONY

“Looking out the window at the "first look" with Paige & Brett and then the 2nd "first look" that Paige had with her dad (Ed) and brother (Eddie). It was precious and I'm so very glad that Paige wanted to add Eddie in the mix. After the "first looks", Paige and Brett both seemed so happy and calm.........there was just a feeling that all was well with the world. From the words of the FOB, Paige was so calm it helped me to be calm.” - Mother of the Bride

Have we mentioned how much we love first looks? We absolutely loved that Paige and Brett incorporated this tradition into their wedding day. Those quiet moments during a first look are so sweet before meeting again at the altar. It can help calm nerves and you may choose to exchange vows intimately before the ceremony as a special memory between just the two of you.

As the Groom and groomsmen took their place in The Courtyard, the Bride and her bridesmaids began their walk down the courtyard stone walkway. The sun sparkled upon the newlyweds as they said “I do”.

COCKTAIL HOUR

As guests flowed from The Courtyard into The Colonnade, they were greeted with a delightful cocktail hour in our lower level. As guests mixed and mingled, they enjoyed delicious appetizers including Mushroom Caps, Beef Bruschetta and Southwestern Potato Skins and sipped on the signature drink, a Moscow Mule. The air was filled with the gentle hum of laughter and clinking of glasses as guests savored every moment.

“Paige let me know what she did not want in a wedding venue (barns, ugly ballroom carpet, country club types....) and then gave me several places to preview before she and Brett could get to Greensboro. She also liked the "Industrial look". I set up the meeting with Ben and then brought 2 very dear friends to the meeting. It was the very 1st venue we visited and all 3 of us immediately knew that it was Paige!” - Mother of the Bride

The Reception

The Colonnade came to life as guests ascended into the upper venue space that was perfectly prepared with elegant table designs for the reception. As the evening progressed from toasts to dinner, guests enjoyed heart warming speeches and toasts on love before enjoying a delicious meal prepared by our in house catering including Beef Tenderloin Medallions, Blackened Tilapia Filets, Wild Mushroom Risotto and Roasted Veggies.

Kathryn & Clint’s wedding day at Revolution Mill Events was the perfect day for friends and family to share and celebrate the beginning of their next chapter in their love story. Incorporating a cohesive design with little hints of their personalities sprinkled throughout, they created the perfect June wedding day in Greensboro, North Carolina

“Our wedding day was beautiful! It was a perfect, sunny day filled with family, friends, and laughter. We had so much fun getting to spend time with all of our favorite people in one place. From getting ready together in the morning, to dancing the night away, it was so heartwarming to see everyone from both sides of the family come together. The venue was stunning and all of the vendors were spot on. We couldn't have asked for a better day!” - BRIDE

The thoughtfulness behind every aspect of their wedding shone through from the touches of the textures to the loving acknowledgments to family traditions placed throughout the day. The design elements were light, welcoming and allowed guests to experience more of the couple's personalities and story throughout the day.

“The most unique part of our wedding was our cookie table filled with homemade treats! My family is originally from Pennsylvania and it is a tradition to have a cookie table at weddings for guests to bring homemade cookies to contribute. It is so popular that there are actually Italian Wedding Cookies specifically for this occasion! My mom, grandmothers, and aunts all contributed to the wedding cookie table. We had table top labels that showed a picture of me and the family member that made the cookies on display for our guests as they grazed. We had doggy bags for people to take some cookies with them as their wedding favor and needless to say, it was a huge hit!” - BRIDE

The Jordan’s took DIY by storm when planning their wedding day. Kathryn fell in love with the floral design of her wedding dress and decided to incorporate it into other aspects of their wedding design. Their custom signage, invitations and stationery was all cohesively planned and designed with the dress in mind!

 “The biggest piece of advice we would give couples planning their wedding is: don't be afraid to stray from tradition or what's trending to make the day your own. This day is to celebrate YOU, so do what you feel is right. We are so happy that we put our own personal spin on things from the timeline, to layouts, and key parts of the day that we wanted to make sure happened.” - BRIDE

The Ceremony

The Courtyard was prepped perfectly for the event down to every last special detail. On this beautiful June day, the North Carolina sun lit the courtyard and created the ideal conditions for their outdoor ceremony. Their floral arrangements were unique and gorgeously placed for framing the couple as they said their “I do’s”. As everyone entered the space, guests' excitement filled the air with expectation of the event to come. Their color palette was absolutely stunning against The Courtyard’s greenery and historic brick background.

“It was very important to us to have some outdoor space because we were having a spring wedding and wanted our guests to be able to enjoy the weather. Once we toured the venue, we fell in love. We loved that the event space was completely private, something other venues we toured were lacking, and that there were so many options. We had multiple options for how to use the indoor and outdoor spaces which is something we were really looking for because we wanted to make the wedding personal. There were even multiple options for the rehearsal dinner spaces! We were able to confidently make decisions based on what we felt was best because we were able to weigh our options on how to best use the space.” - BRIDE

The Reception

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers in The Courtyard, the couples favorite space at Rev Mill Events, before moving into The Colonnade for the Reception. The decor choices were beautifully intertwined with the colors and theme of the wedding design. The floral arrangements continued to catch your eye as they were elegantly placed on each table. The Reception was full of love, celebration, and admiration from family and friends gathered to celebrate the newlyweds!
