With a picturesque proposal story (they were engaged on the ice skating rink in Rockefeller Center NYC!) Eric and Darlyn's wedding was sure to be equally memorable. They wanted a wedding that provided a unique and fun experience for their guests, where they could celebrate with their friends and family, with a balance between traditional and non-traditional elements. Tampa's thriving brewery scene inspired the couple to choose the Pepin Hospitality Centre for their venue, and even planned a pre-ceremony tour and beer tasting as a surprise for their guests as they arrived on site. Food stations allowed guests to mix and mingle during the reception, and offered comfort foods perfect for beer pairings, including carved New York strip, a Mac n Cheese station, and a fire roasted pizza station in honor of the couple's New York engagement. Giant framed menus and engagement photos were displayed on the walls over the food stations, and the pizza station even featured a video screen with the couple's proposal video on loop! The entire event was truly a celebration and filled with so much laughter and love, and sure to be cherished memories for all who attended.
