What are the key ingredients to a perfect wedding day? They can be pretty simple. All you really need is genuine love. You can make the day even sweeter by surrounding yourself with loved ones and holding the entire event at one of northeast Ohio’s most beautiful locations. That’s exactly what Samantha and Patrick did at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens on a warm Saturday in August. They enjoyed a first look in the Japanese garden before walking the estate and exchanging vows on the west terrace. After exiting their ceremony through waves of bubbles, they took a few brief moments for family photos. Just as an evening storm front moved in, the bridal party and guests retreated to the manor house auditorium for an reception filled with toasts, laughter and dancing.
