Moody Romance for Vita & Bennett at Deer Path Inn
Vita and Bennett (“Ben”) hosted a romantic, dreamy and authentic wedding that would make even Jay Gatsby envious. Complete with custom-designed ensembles for Vita, intimate portraits in the hotel room and vintage details, this celebration at Deer Path Inn was truly special.
Vita and Ben’s love story was written in the stars. The couple met in 2018, and from their first date onward, they were inseparable. According to their astrological charts, they share a rare and exceptional match. Ben is a Gemini, and Vita is a Cancer, and they have a Venus-Mars conjunction, indicating a powerful and strong connection. “There is no other explanation to meet someone so perfectly made for you other than this is fate. But fate or not, we love each other intentionally; we are each other’s mirror and best friend,” says Vita.
For a wedding as magical and romantic as their love story, Vita and Ben needed the perfect setting. The Deer Path Inn, described by the bride as feeling like a luxurious English manor, was just right. With its ivy-covered walls and refined interiors, the venue transported guests to another world, creating the exact atmosphere the couple wanted for their celebration. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Deer Path Inn offered the convenience of accommodations for out-of-town guests.
Vita and Ben’s wedding was full of intentional and curated musical moments. From guests arriving to the sounds of Tchaikovsky’s “Waltz of the Flowers” to the couple’s recessional to “Film” by Apex Twin, the entire day was perfectly soundtracked. The most special musical moment was when Vita, a classically trained dancer, choreographed their first dance to “Playground Love” by Air. Complete with dramatic dips and sweet swirls, this special moment received a standing ovation from the entire room.
Ultimately, Vita and Ben’s wedding day was a true reflection of the deep and magical love they have for each other. “I wanted to be able to look back 50 years from now and for everything to still look elegant and chic,” says Vita. With a black-tie dress code, great food and drink and intentional music choices, this vision was a resounding success.
