As you already know, I’ve played for several weddings at Wimbish House on Peachtree Street before.
Well, in June I was back for Geoff and Emily’s wedding!
Our photos today begin “backstage” (yes, I do have a theater background) before the ceremony begins. Here’s Geoff and his groomsmen …
While, meanwhile the ladies were also getting ready …

Emily looks ready to go!
Mary from Buckhead Florist provided these beautiful flowers.

Where’s our officiant? Ah, here she is — Rev. Meghan Gurley, upstairs visiting with Geoff’s mother.
Apparently one of Geoff and Emily’s ceremony themes was “Redheads.” Works for me! 😉
The ceremony room downstairs is ready as well. We have Janice at Cover Ups Linens to thank for these beautiful chairs.
As usual, 30 minutes before the ceremony begins, I start playing the prelude music. I typically play Bach minuets, Clementi and Beethoven Sonatinas, MacDowell’s To a Wild Rose, that kind of thing.
To a Wild Rose — MacDowell
Yes, that is an iPad, and yes, I love it!
And as I’m playing the prelude music, the guests are arriving …
Caption Needed!
Hey, what do you think this groomsman is saying here? If anyone has an idea for a good caption, let me know! 🙂
Okay, well while you’re pondering that one, let’s move on to the processional, where I’m playing JS Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.”
And heeeeere’s Emily, entering to Pachelbel’s Canon in D!

They both look SO happy! 🙂
Recessional to traditional “Wedding March”
One of the things I love about Wimbish House it has a piano both upstairs and downstairs, so it’s perfect for a ceremony/cocktail combo. Here’s Geoff and Emily kicking back while I played for the cocktail hour.
After the cocktail hour, I headed home, but for everybody else the party was just getting started!
Dinner was provided by Terry at Wild Oats Catering.
I looove fruit, so I think this huge, colorful salad looks fantastic. This was from a local farmer’s market, too — no wonder it looks so good!
Reception Buffet
The wedding cake was provided by Whitney at Sugar and Slate.
DJ Matt from Marquee Events handled the music for the reception ….
…. and judging from these photos, it looks like he did a good job!
Party time!
Yes, I sometimes get the distinct impression that I miss out on the most fun part of the wedding, don’t you?
A big thanks to Atlanta wedding photographer Cayce Callaway for all the great photos!
