Introduction
April 19 | Swan Lake Event Center | Powell, Ohio
Andrea and Nathan tied the knot on a gorgeous spring day, April 19, 2025, at Swan Lake Event Center in Powell, Ohio. Their wedding was a blend of thoughtful personal touches and elegant details, creating a warm and welcoming celebration for their family and friends. From a custom s'mores bar to signature cocktails inspired by their pups, this wedding had it all!
The couple kicked off their big day getting ready in the venue’s bright and cozy bridal suite parlors. With lunch catered by Hudson's Edge—including light sandwiches, dips, and snacks—the morning was relaxed and full of excitement.

Greek Hummus Platter (V, DF)
Club Finger Sandwiches

Their ceremony took place outdoors near Swan Lake’s tranquil waterfall. Lush florals by The Flowerman added a fresh pop of spring color and were later repurposed to add beauty to the reception space.
Andrea and Nathan chose timeless elegance with a modern twist for their wedding style. Guest tables were set with gold flatware, salad plates, napkins, and stunning rented gold rimmed water goblets and champagne flutes all tied together with a beautiful sage green satin napkin. The head table stole the show with a flowing greenery runner, bridesmaids’ bouquets repurposed as centerpieces, and glowing gold candlesticks from our decor inventory. Cylinder vases with floating flowers and soft greenery rounded out the romantic vibe.
Signature drinks with custom cocktail napkins paid tribute to Andrea and Nathan’s beloved dogs, a fun and meaningful touch that guests adored. Guests cozied up later in the evening with the couple’s thoughtful custom blankets—perfect for enjoying the outdoor fire pit and our ever-popular s’mores bar.
A mix of butler-passed and stationary appetizers greeted guests on the outdoor terrace during cocktail hour, offering a perfect view of the water feature and springtime blooms. Once Reception doors opened, guests were treated to a delicious preset cucumber salad before enjoying a plated dinner service provided by Hudson’s Edge Catering.

Inside Scoop:
We have to give a shoutout to the Mother of the Groom—she’s a natural when it comes to hosting a great party! While we typically recommend 3–4 appetizers for weddings this size, she had a vision for a larger variety and worked with our team to adjust quantities accordingly. Our sales team is always happy to offer guidance and suggestions, but ultimately we want our clients to feel confident in their choices—and in this case, momma knew best! The result? A show-stopping appetizer spread that guests are still raving about.

The reception was filled with love, laughter, and dancing. The dessert table was a showstopper: three breathtaking cakes, lovingly made by a close friend from Cincinnati, were adorned with delicate floral accents, ruffles, and ribbon details. Hudson's Edge complemented the display with an assortment of cream puffs, mini tarts, and delicate macarons.
As the night went on, guests danced under the stars and relaxed by the fire, making memories that will last a lifetime.
