I'm Mallory, a wedding planner based in Charlottesville, Virginia. Traveling throughout Richmond, Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. With a passion for weddings and an eye for details, I help create a personalized and seamless experience for you and your guests.
Some wedding days simply radiate joy, and Megan and Emmett’s Poplar Springs Manor wedding was one of them. From the emotional aisle reveal to the dance floor energy (there was crowd surfing!), this June wedding in Virginia was filled with laughter, love, and so many thoughtful details that perfectly reflected who they are as a couple.
Picking Poplar Springs Manor as their Virginia wedding venue was a no brainer. It offers everything in one place: a charming inn where most guests stayed, seamless transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and a stunning ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, and gorgeous chandeliers. As a wedding planner, these types of venues not only make my job easier, but allow couples and their guests to simply enjoy the celebration without any logistical stress!
They decided not to do a first look, instead having a traditional aisle reveal. I helped Megan down the stairs, fluffing her long train and stepping aside just in time for Father Quinn to tap on Emmett’s shoulder. He turned around to see his bride and it was a deeply moving moment!
Another moving moment was Megan honoring her close relationship with her uncle. They had their own first look moment and a special dance with him. These types of personal touches are what make a wedding day feel unique.
There was also lots of fun along with the touching moments! Their DJ was phenomenal, keeping the party going in the best way. At one point, not only the bride and groom but also guests were crowd surfing! And as a fellow Hokie, I loved that Emmett had a tribute to the school with Enter Sandman blasting and a VT flag for photo ops.
It was emotional, joyful, and so much fun. From the stunning setting to the personal details and the dance floor energy, it was the perfect celebration of their love story!
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that blends timeless elegance with effortless flow, Poplar Springs Manor is an incredible choice. And if you’re looking for guidance to bring it all together without the stress, let’s chat! I’d love to help you plan your own unforgettable day.
