Megan and Kyle’s April 29th wedding brought a touch of warmth and color to the industrial Sinclair of Skaneateles. The historic venue, a former chair factory built in 1871, is in the beautiful Finger Lakes town of Skaneateles. With its exposed brick walls and expansive windows overlooking Skaneateles Creek, it provided a blend of industrial charm and modern elegance for Megan and Kyle’s big day. Their wedding showcased the venue’s versatility, with the outdoor courtyard hosting their ceremony and the spacious indoor area later transformed into a lively reception filled with music and dancing.
Highlights from Megan and Kyle’s April Wedding
The Ceremony
Megan and Kyle’s outdoor ceremony was a celebration of springtime and new beginnings. The courtyard at The Sinclair of Skaneateles was transformed into a romantic and intimate setting. A wooden altar adorned with vibrant pink flowers stood at the end of a red-brick path, where guests were seated on rustic wooden pews. As guests found their seats, the soft sounds of piano, violin, and Vitamin String Quartet melodies filled the air, adding an elegant layer to the anticipation of the moment.
Megan and Kyle’s ceremony was made even more special by the presence of her brother, Rob, who officiated. His presence added a deeply personal touch to the celebration. As the couple exchanged vows, the warmth of the spring day and the love surrounding them created an unforgettable atmosphere.
Cocktail Hour
Following the ceremony, guests made their way indoors to transition to the cocktail hour. Stepping into The Sinclair’s main reception space, the industrial-chic vibes of the venue were on full display, with soaring ceilings and tall windows filling the room with a warm, natural light. The white brick walls were accentuated by the statement chandeliers hanging overhead, adding a touch of modern elegance to the industrial feel.
The transition from ceremony to celebration was further emphasized by the upbeat music filling the air. A carefully curated mix of oldies and contemporary hits set the mood for a fun-filled evening. Guests who wanted to take a break from mingling could find cozy seating options, offering comfortable spots for conversation and relaxation. Guests also had the option to use the provided Polaroid cameras to capture candid moments and get the evening started.
The most unique detail, however, was Megan and Kyle’s departure from traditional guestbooks. They opted for a creative and interactive alternative: a Jenga set. Each guest was invited to personalize the celebration by signing a single Jenga block, adding their well wishes and congratulations to the happy couple. This created a fun and engaging experience for everyone, but it also resulted in a one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional guestbook that Megan and Kyle could cherish for years to come.
The Reception
As the sun began to set, the industrial ambiance softened, creating a more intimate and romantic setting for the evening’s festivities. The tables were beautifully decorated by the event planner for the day, Honey Dew Events. Each table featured white tablecloths, vibrant blue table runners matching the bridal party attire, and stunning centerpieces overflowing with pink and white florals. Bronze place settings added a touch of warmth and sophistication.
The highlight of the decor was Megan and Kyle’s wedding cake. Blue accents mirrored the color scheme, creating a beautifully cohesive visual element. The couple chose a special sweetheart table where they could enjoy a few moments together amidst the joyful energy of their celebration.
After a delicious dinner and heartfelt toasts, the dance floor was waiting. Megan and Kyle shared a sweet and tender first dance to “Sleep on the Floor” by the Lumineers. This beautiful moment was the start of an unforgettable night of dancing.
The Dance Floor
As darkness settled outside, The Sinclair of Skaneateles transformed into a vibrant dance party. The venue’s large windows showcased the transition from day to night, drawing everyone towards the dance floor. The DJ smoothly transitioned the music to get the party started, blending a mix of indie, pop, and Top 40 hits.
Timeless classics from ABBA and Whitney Houston had everyone singing along, while contemporary chart-toppers by the Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, and Kesha kept the party going strong. The mix of genres and eras ensured there was something for everyone, creating an inclusive and unforgettable dance party that lasted well into the night.
