Welcome to Camp Greenwood 🌲
To kick off their wedding weekend at The Lake Estate on Winnesquam, Jaime & Dalton welcomed everyone to “Camp Greenwood”, a lakeside evening inspired by everything you love about summer camp. A beer canoe, “The Happy Camper” signature cocktail, fireside s’mores, and a tablescape layered with organic textures, earthy tones, and thoughtfully curated wildflowers that looked as though they had been gathered from the surrounding lakeside.
It was intentionally relaxed. A chance to trade formalities for conversation, welcome every guest who traveled to celebrate, and settle into the weekend together before the wedding day arrived.
The best welcome parties don’t just greet your guests. They immerse them in the story you’re about to tell.

Ariel & Danny were gifted a well-deserved bluebird day at Chatham Bars Inn, where the Cape delivered its very best. Against the backdrop of blue skies and the Atlantic beyond, every detail was intentionally woven together to tell their story.
From a memory walk of family photographs lining the boardwalk as guests made their way to the reception, to countless thoughtful details that celebrated the people and moments that shaped them, this wasn’t simply a beautiful wedding—it was a celebration filled with meaning.
Watching months of thoughtful planning transform into a day that felt so effortless is always the greatest reward. And hearing afterward, “I wouldn’t change a thing,” is a reminder of why we pour so much heart into what we do.
Congratulations, Ariel & Danny. Thank you for trusting us with one of the most meaningful days of your lives. It was an honor to bring your vision to life.
