Elena & Jess’ Romantic March Wedding at The Mill at Manor Falls
Elena and Jess’ wedding at The Mill at Manor Falls in Lancaster County, PA, was pure magic from start to finish. Their March wedding was held on International Women’s Day, making it all the more meaningful as they celebrated not only their love but also their strength and partnership.
This wedding was extra special for me because Elena is one of my own wedding associates here at KE Coordination. Helping her plan her dream day, while also witnessing the joy she shares with Jess, was such an honor.
The Morning Moments

The Details That Mattered
Every little touch was thoughtfully planned.
Their rings, displayed in a blush velvet hexagon box, were engraved with their initials and wedding date - something they’ll treasure forever.

A Celebration to Remember
From heartfelt toasts to the lively dance floor, their reception was full of fun. One of the most unique touches added to the dance floor was inflatable pink ponies, which were debuted during Chappell Roans ‘Pink Pony Club’ as the dance floor prop. Guests danced the night away under glowing string lights, celebrating the couple’s love in true style.
The rustic-chic reception space was decorated with warm candlelight and lush florals, creating a romantic atmosphere for dinner and dancing.
