William’s Orchard and Journeyman Distillery Wedding | Jillian and Nick

January 12, 2023 / Shelby Prins /

From William’s Orchard to Journeyman Distillery—Jillian and Nick thought of every detail and Stellaluna had the pleasure of making it come together alongside them.

The incredible weekend started at William’s Orchard in the middle of the apple trees for the rehearsal dinner. The location paired with a special dinner, prepared by personal chef Zac Franzoni, was a memorable way to kick things off. The next day we returned to William’s Orchard but this time made our way to the woods—to a brand new ceremony site the venue made just for them! The rain was on and off but as the ceremony approached, the sun decided to come out and stay. The light filtering through the trees with the sheer hanging from the branches was breathtaking. The couple provided the coolest wedding programs that included some fun details and also doubled as a fan, which is appreciated in the middle of August. Jillian was iconic in her stunning white jumpsuit with a beautiful flowing skirt attached. The couple involved all their family members whether that was being an usher, reader or the admired dog-of-honor. At the end of the ceremony, they raised a toast and everyone gathered afterward to finish their drinks and offer hugs of congratulations before being escorted to the reception space.

Next stop was Journeyman Distillery where a beautiful reception awaited. With the warehouse as the backdrop, harvest tables, candle lighting and copper accents—it was the perfect warm and welcoming scene for the happy couple to celebrate their marriage with family and friends. Jillian came in with her dancing shoes on and guests surrounded them while they shared their first dance. Every detail was so thoughtful. For their escort cards, they had photos of them with each of their guests and wrote a message on the back of every single one. Journeyman also provided mini bottles of their spirits for guests to take home. The night ended with dancing and balloon send off for the bride and groom.

With 2 locations and so many incredible details, it was all hands on deck for the Stellaluna team—and we loved every second of it!
