Hudson's Edge Catering Wedding Spotlight: Melissa & Tom's Spring Wedding

Introduction

May 15 | Four Seasons Barn | Cardington, Ohio

There’s something magical about a spring wedding at a rustic-chic venue like Four Seasons Barn—especially when it’s filled with creative personal touches, heartfelt moments, and a menu that guests are still raving about!

Melissa and Tom Poorman’s big day was a perfect mix of style and fun. With the help of our Worry Free Elite Service (now revamped as our Reception & Décor Upgrade Package), their vision came together effortlessly—minus the DIY stress.

Let’s dive into the details from their gorgeous May wedding!

The Ceremony

Set on the scenic property of Four Seasons Barn, Melissa and Tom exchanged vows surrounded by loved ones and the beauty of Ohio’s spring countryside. With clear skies and fresh blooms, the outdoor setting was peaceful and charming—an ideal place to begin forever.

The Couple & Their Wedding Style

Melissa and Tom’s wedding design leaned into a romantic, refined look with touches of modern rustic elegance. Their bridal party was dressed in timeless black attire—the bridesmaids in sleek black dresses and the groomsmen and groom in classic black suits. Their color palette carried through to the reception design, where they incorporated black candle holders with white tapers, gold votives, and gold chargers at each place setting for a touch of warmth and sophistication.

They took full advantage of our Reception & Décor Upgrade Package, which gave them access to our curated inventory of event essentials—from gold candelabras and cylinder vases to our professional setup and tear-down service. Black lanterns, gold and black candlestick holders, and loose greenery down the tablescape created a soft, earthy feel. A flowing green cheesecloth runner added texture and a subtle pop of color to round out the look. With our team handling the details behind the scenes, they were free to focus on what really mattered—celebrating!

Special Details

This wedding was full of one-of-a-kind moments that made it truly unforgettable! A live painter captured the ceremony as it happened—such a timeless keepsake. Guests loved mingling at the couple’s custom photo booth camper and lining up for a caricature artist’s personalized sketches. Signature drinks were created just for the couple: a “His” and “Hers” cocktail that matched their personalities perfectly. Every moment was thoughtfully curated to reflect Melissa and Tom’s fun-loving spirit.
