Rarely does one find oneself understanding that, "in this moment, I am presently experiencing the best moment of my life." This was the sensation that both Nina and I felt with gre...at clarity during the entirety of our wedding at Wellfleet Preservation Hall. Of course this had much to do with the warmth, love and excitement wafting from our friends in the pews and on the dance floor; however, Jenna and her staff had a large hand in this once-in-a-lifetime evening. They were organized, understanding and accommodating to all of our wants and needs. They were personable and genuine and a delight as hosts. The wedding hall itself strikes a perfect balance of space and intimacy, and we felt neither cramped nor swallowed up in the space. Warm, amber rays of light made their way through the windows as we looked out upon our friends and family. The room was filled with electric excitement, smiles and joyful energy. We were most happily married.
We paraded out the front door to a second line jam with all of our loved ones in tow, to the cocktail hour space. The outdoor tent and tables were beautifully and impeccably arranged in the green garden space behind the hall. Birds chirped as we feasted on lobsters and seafood, wine and cake. Toasts were heaped at us, and I felt like grateful but incapable hands, attempting to hold on to the speeches of friends and family as they sieved through my heart. Not versed in weddings to the point of fluency (this was my first, after all ;)), I was assisted in the cutting of the cake by one of Jenna's co-workers, and I most certainly would have mangled the cake without her. Thanks! The coup de grace, though, was the dance floor. Echoing the feel of the wedding hall, it too provided an ample but intimate space. Literally everyone danced, and most danced their butts off, to Nina and my great joy. Any successful celebration is topped off with a lively and raucous dance, and our wedding was no exception. The lighting was spectacular, the band amazing and the sound spot on. I would highly recommend Wellfleet's Preservation Hall to anyone on the Cape or off who is looking for a place to get hitched. There is literally nothing Nina or I would change about the best day of our lives. Thanks Jenna!
