The Palace at Somerset Park Wedding. Somerset, NJ.
Kayla and Matthew chose the grand setting of The Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset, NJ, to celebrate their first wedding anniversary in style. A year after their official vows, this event was not just a commemoration but a vibrant party with family and friends, complete with the joyous presence of their little son.
Despite the chilly and windy conditions typical of a spring day, the weather didn’t deter the festive spirit or the outdoor photography sessions. The palace’s stunning architecture and beautifully manicured gardens provided a majestic backdrop for the photographs, capturing the happiness and love of Kayla and Matthew
The main event unfolded in the opulence of the ballroom, where the indoor ceremony allowed guests to enjoy the elegance of their surroundings without the chill of the spring breeze. The setting was perfect for celebrating a union that had already brought the couple a year of shared love and family life.
Highlighting the evening were the heartfelt speeches delivered by the maid of honor and the best man. Their words resonated with affection, humor, and well wishes for Kayla and Matthew, adding depth and warmth to the celebration.
As the night progressed, the dance floor became a hub of energy. Guests of all ages joined in the dancing, their movements illuminated by colorful glow batons that added an extra layer of fun and festivity to the night. The lively music and the shared joy of dancing created a memorable atmosphere that celebrated not just the past year of marriage but also the many more to come.
Kayla and Matthew’s anniversary celebration at The Palace at Somerset Park was a beautiful testament to their journey as a married couple and as a family, marked by joyful reunions, expressive speeches, and a dance floor alive with celebration.
