Sharon + Austin Wedding – The Starting Gate at GreatHorse
The Starting Gate at GreatHorse Wedding
Sharon & Austin were supposed to have a destination wedding in Jamaica, but travel restrictions forced them to make alternative plans for their wedding. The Starting Gate at GreatHorse and their wrap around outdoor patio made for a perfect location for their micro-wedding of 36 people. They were married at the gazebo outside and then social hour and dinner/dancing were held on the wrap around porch. The firepit tables and fire heaters were all on and it gave the venue that warm autumn glow. Fall foliage was in peak season for this fall wedding at The Starting Gate.
Now, I wasn’t supposed to DJ their wedding in Jamaica, but one of my nieces was Sharon’s best friend and Maid of Honor so I got called in to DJ their wedding at The Starting Gate at GreatHorse. Funny thing is, one of the couples in attendance – I DJ’d their wedding nearly 10 years ago.
