Caitlin & Matthew’s Fiddler’s Elbow NJ Wedding
Caitlin and Matt’s gorgeous Fiddler’s Elbow NJ wedding was photographed by NJ wedding photographer, Vanessa Joy. While planning their wedding, Caitlin and Matt wanted the focus to be rustic, cozy, romantic and fun! They nailed rustic with the creative decor including wood tree sliced table numbers from Glen Wild Arts Studio and a custom mirrored seating chart from The Shaded Maple. Caitlin stayed cozy with her fur stole over her romantic Pronovias gown and the guests had fun dancing the night away to the Sound Society Band!

Caitlin and Matt met in Hoboken NJ by coicindence one afternoon while both celebrating with friends, took a leap of faith going on a date and then did not stop seeing each other.
They fell in love by doing the things we both enjoy together; such as dinners, concerts, sports and spending time with family/friends.
The most important part when planning their wedding was that it felt like an extension of themselves and really spoke to who they were are as a couple. Their main focus was their family and friends being there and having a great band to dance to!
A few tips if Fiddler’s Elbow is on your list for a winter date: warm wraps or stoles for the bride and bridesmaids mean you can stay outside a little longer for photos without anyone shivering. The open field with the wooden rail fence looks out over the hills, and it’s at its prettiest just as the sun goes down, so plan a few minutes there before you head into the reception. The stone patio fits a big bridal party in one photo, and inside, the fireplace filled with candles makes a cozy spot for a quiet moment together.
The beautiful 4 tiered wedding cake tasted as delicious as it looked!
Caitlin and Matt worked so hard and had so much fun learning their first dance, and it was one of their favorite parts of the day- “it was such a joy to watch it come together and see how much everyone loved it!”
Live music is a very big part of Caitlin and Matt’s relationship that they made sure to make apart of their wedding. The Sound Society band was a great soundtrack to the night.
When asked how they would describe their day to their kids, Caitlin and Matt responded with “pure bliss, so much love and joy and lots of laugher! tons of laughs!”
