AND SO IT BEGINS…
Welcome to Andrea Eppolito Weddings & Events.
I'm so glad you found me...Thank you!
The days and weeks leading up to your wedding will be all about you. But I firmly believe that in order to work together, we need to get to know each other, to like each other, and to understand one another. I want you to feel completely comfortable with me. And so, today, I thought we'd start with me.
Today I am in my office, proudly drafting my first blog entry as the Founder and Chief Designer of Andrea Eppolito Weddings and Events. Today, my two-year-old little boy is chasing the dog on his scooter, trying to carry more than 3 cars in his arms at a time, while singing about dinosaurs. Today, I have been sharing my life with his amazing father for 5 years, 10 months, and...22, 23, 24...24 days. Yes, I can pinpoint the moment I fell in love with almost everything in my life...
I fell in love with weddings at 15 years old. I had been planning my Sweet 16 for two years, carrying my Inspiration Book everywhere, obsessing over every flower, every linen, every favor. One day a friend's mother asked if she could see it. As she flipped through the pages, she smiled and said, "This is good. You should be a wedding planner."
A wedding planner? You mean I could do this...For a living? Forever? When I was offered the chance to work the reception desk at a wedding event, I jumped at the chance.
That was all it took. I was hooked.
That was (gasp!) almost 20 years ago, and weddings have been my passion ever since. I fell in love with every aspect of weddings. The engagement. The jewelry. The flowers and photography, menu and music. The vows. I love the vows.
But most importantly, I fell in love with the love stories, and how each wedding told a different one. Each detail like a secret, whispering something about who these two people were and are, and who they hope to become together.
A wedding is not just a wedding. It’s a love song. A wish. A prayer and a meditation.
Andrea Eppolito Weddings & Events is my dream, two decades in the making. And so it begins...
I have realized my dream.
Now, it’s time to focus on yours...
Always…a
