When Kate and BJ decided to tie the knot, they knew they wanted a day that felt like them – laid back, a little offbeat, and totally welcoming. Cue their summer wedding at the Inn at Grace Winery in Glen Mills, PA, a venue that’s equal parts charming vineyard, cozy inn, and actual working farm. Oh, and there were no dance floors or formal cake-cutting in sight. Yep, this celebration was anything but cookie-cutter.
The day kicked off with a gorgeous ceremony in the outdoor amphitheater. With rows of guests looking on, BJ waited at the altar as Kate made her grand entrance from the red barn. If you want to talk about an entrance, this one was it. She descended the stone stairs, vintage vibes in full force with her long lace sleeves and timeless details. She looked straight out of an old-school romance movie, but cooler. It was the perfect setting for their heartfelt vows – surrounded by trees, open air, and that undeniable Grace Winery charm.
Now, let’s talk about the reception. Instead of dancing the night away (which, let’s be honest, can feel a little forced for those of us with two left feet), Kate and BJ opted for cozy lounge vignettes and lawn games. Picture chic, comfy seating areas sprinkled across the property, with guests kicking back, chatting, and challenging each other to corn hole matches. It was the ultimate relaxed vibe, giving everyone plenty of time to catch up, laugh, and really enjoy each other’s company. Oh, and instead of a big wedding cake moment? Passed dessert bites. Because who really wants to wait for cake when you can snack on a variety of treats while mingling?
One of the most unique (and adorable) perks of a Grace Winery wedding? The animals. Horses, donkeys, and other furry friends roam the property, which made the day even more special for Kate, an avid animal lover. Guests got to feed the animals, snap photos, and enjoy the unexpected charm of hanging out with some four-legged guests. It was the perfect finishing touch to a day that felt warm, welcoming, and completely true to Kate and BJ. No dance floors, no fuss – just a celebration as unique and relaxed as the couple themselves.
