When Jill Beavins and Adam Yount envisioned their wedding day, they set out to create an experience that felt as personal as their love story. Their celebration, held at the historic Peterson Dumesnil House, was a gorgeous display of intentionality and bespoke design. From the thoughtful decor to the carefully curated menu, every detail reflected their unique vision. 

Guests were welcomed at 4:30 with pre-ceremony cocktails and a spread of charcuterie. The setting was thoughtfully arranged, with lanterns hanging from the trees surrounding the circular driveway, casting a soft, golden light as the fall sun began to lower. Clementine Catering’s Polo Bar added a classic touch, serving up refreshments that invited guests to relax. Friends and family mingled around a cozy furniture setup arranged to feel like a curated living room. 

At 5:30, everyone moved to the outdoor ceremony space. Custom-made lap blankets, draped over Vineyard-back chairs, were a thoughtful gift for guests and a nod to the crisp fall weather. Lanterns lined the aisle, guiding attendees to their seats as the evening light softened. By the time Jill and Adam exchanged their vows under a bistro-lit arch, the setting had transformed into an intimate tableau of light and love. 

Following the ceremony, the celebration transitioned to the porch for a lively cocktail hour. Signature cocktails, named after the couple’s three pets, were served from a stylish bar, complemented by an adorable sign featuring photos of the furry inspirations. Guests were treated to hors d’oeuvres and live music by the Highland Chamber Players. A bourbon-tasting station featuring Maker’s Mark offered a spirited nod to tradition, while custom-made burgundy velvet cushions lining the porch seating walls provided a touch of understated luxury. 

Dinner, served indoors at 7:00, was presented by Clementine Catering who delivered a pre-plated menu featuring salmon and filet. The florals, designed by Carolyn Minutillo of Lavender Hill, enhanced the setting with arrangements that captured the beauty of fall. Jill’s expertise as a flower farmer was evident, from the centerpieces to the ceremony decor, creating an organic beauty that tied the space together. 

After dinner, guests returned to the porch for cake and a champagne toast. The cake, crafted by Merts, was as delicious as it was beautiful, standing as a sweet centerpiece to the evening. The celebrations continued with dancing to the DJ’s lively tunes. 

The celebration concluded with a sparkler send-off, as Jill and Adam made their way through a line of cheering guests. Jill and Adam’s wedding was a reflection of their story and the community that surrounds them. Every choice they made, from the lap blankets to the cocktails, felt personal and genuine, leaving their guests with lasting memories. 

Congratulations to Jill and Adam on a wedding as unique and timeless as the love it celebrated!
