Great couple, unique venue, eclectic music, food, drinks and so much fun! Lily & Jesse's wedding + reception yesterday at The Elm in Hampden was hands down one of my favorites of 2015. From the ceremony prelude to the very last song, everything was just about perfect. The Beatles Abbey Road album in it's entirety greeted guests as they found their seats for the ceremony. After saying "I do", the bride & groom led their friends and family inside for cocktails and great eats provided by Clementine Restaurant of Baltimore. Once inside guests got a look at this one of a kind venue. Built in the 19th century, Hampden’s mills led sales for the nation’s cotton duck-canvas for tents and sailcloth. The Elm, situated in the original mill village, is the area’s only surviving carriage house/stable from that era. In the [...]
