Cochino Lodge Weddings: Poe and Jackson United at Cochino Lodge

Caitlyn Poe and Cameron Jackson

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and Family

What a beautiful wedding and fun group of people. The décor was by Chantilly Bliss ,Sherry Gauthier. The Bride chose simplicity and elegance décor for the wedding. Sherry took the wishes of the Bride and set the reception area, verandas and porches with a variation of items creating an ambiance perfect for the Bride and Groom. The steps leading to the front porch were flanked by logs, lantern lighting and greenery. In the reception area, Sherry used log slices, greenery, lanterns, candles and bottles that the bride had painted in colors complimentary to the overall look. The room glowed in warmth and beauty. The ceremony was held in front of the double doors on the East Lawn. Chantilly Bliss had log stands and Lanterns along each side of the arch and doors with greenery that complimented the look. Sherry assisted the Bride as she left the lodge to be united in matrimony. Benches and Pews held the many guests who attended. The wedding was great. No rain and it got warmer as the day progressed. The fall foliage was beautiful, such natural décor of brilliant fall colors.

The food was delicious various Pastas, sauces, meats, Salad and bread sticks. Tome always has wonderful food. The Buffet Coordinator was Chantilly Bliss. Sherry takes the food as the caterers deliver it and it goes to a hot Steam table. Tea and raspberry tea was prepared and set up . Sherry always decorates the Buffet with greenery, unique containers and lights. The coffee bar and the chocolate bar was welcomed by the guests. Chilly weather is more fun with a warm beverage. Chantilly Bliss, Sherry and crew served the guests quickly and they came back for seconds. No stress on the family or friends with making sure the guests served on time..

Chantilly Bliss does an excellent job in Décor of the Reception as well as the Buffet Coordinator. This makes for a stress free event for family and friends. Sherry takes on all of the responsibility as either the Buffet Coordinator or the Decorator for the Wedding so that you enjoy the wedding to the fullest.

One of the highlights of the wedding was the cake cutting and the cupcakes. Skyline Treats and Sweets--by Kristina-Lufkin, Texas had a variety of flavors and decorated cupcakes. They were so delicious that I ate 4 of them, one right after the other. Everyone LOVED the cake and cupcakes. The cake was just the right size. Beautiful as well and as tasty as the cupcakes. There was an abundance of sweets and everyone had more than one.

For the 'send off' glow sticks were perfect for the young and old alike. Such a colorful glowing sendoff. The young children loved this part of the event.

This couple is surrounded by friends and family who are very supportive of the new couple. The parents were very attentive to the new couple making sure that the wedding was memorable for a lifetime.

I enjoyed all of the guests, some will be back soon for a wedding of their own. It is always good to see familiar faces as well as new acquaintances. Family traveled from San Angelo to witness the marriage. At least 4 generations were present. The grandparents were delightful and I enjoyed talking to them so much. So young at heart and up and about enjoying the night.

Cortney Richardson Photographer covered the wedding magnificently. She was there from early until the event was over. She has a unique and interesting eye for any event. Cortney was a bride at Cochino as well a few years back. Still as pretty as a Bride herself.

May this couple live happily ever after, have a big family and return to Cochino to take anniversary photographs.
