Amelia Island Williams House, Florida Bed and Breakfast

Teresa and Michael marry in Williams House Parlor

We always enjoy weddings at the Williams House and especially around the Holidays when Christmas decorations abound as a backdrop for pictures.  The day after Thanksgiving, Teresa and Michael were married by Byron in the parlor with Deborah helping take photos.  It was just the two of them and that made for a relaxing yet elegant ceremony.  They enjoyed chocolate covered strawberries and champagne afterwards followed by a carriage ride later in the evening and dinner at Beech Street Grill.  They were the “newlyweds” at breakfast for several days and other guests enjoyed sharing in this special time with the bride and groom.

Byron with Bride and Groom

Jessica and Brandon married at the Williams House this past weekend while the area was setting records for high temperatures in the 90′s.  So, yes, it was a hot wedding, but beautiful, simple and enjoyable.  This was one of our small “just for two weddings”, but after meeting and having breakfast with the bride and groom, some of the other guests joined in to experience their wedding and and enjoy a slice of wedding cake.   Byron performed the ceremony on the front porch and the reception was in the back courtyard.  A champagne toast, cake cutting and lots of photos followed.  They also brought a video camera so we set it up and taped the ceremony and reception for family and friends to enjoy.

Hope and Jack ready for the ceremony

Hope and Jack came from Maryland last week for a week long visit at the Williams House and to get married.  Byron performed the ceremony in the back courtyard underneath the 600 year old live oak tree and in front of the Koi pond.  Hope utilized some very nice vows she located on the internet and it was a beautiful, short and enjoyable ceremony.  Pam Bell, a local photographer captured their special time on camera, and it was a low key fun affair with a delicious wedding cake.  Hope and Jack had dinner later at the Beech Street grill and said they felt like royalty (and enjoyed great food). 

Hope and Jack cut the cake

Since Hope didn’t march down the front walk as many of our brides do, Cinnamon took it easy in the shade out back waiting patiently to see if any loose food might be in the offering.  Alas, we only had cake and that isn’t one of his favorites, so he simply laid in the chair and watched the activity.

The weather was pleasant with the humidity at lower than normal levels for Florida in September and no rain in sight.  It’s a relaxing way to get married!

The Happy couple!
