The Estate at Cherokee Dock was the perfect spot for a beautiful union of love and cultural fusion for Megan and Jorge last September for their modern Mexican wedding.

Megan and Jorge went to the same high school together but didn’t know each other until a few mutual friends introduced them years later. Little did they know that six years and one romantic lodge proposal later, they would walk this aisle together as husband and wife! 

They exchanged vows in front of the Estate with the serene lakeside views in the background and the willow oak canopy to their side. Wood crossback chairs sat in the lawn alongside the main drive making the perfect runway to the altar for Megan, escorted by her mom. 

Following the ceremony, Jorge’s cultural heritage was intricately woven in with mariachi melodies leading guests to a cocktail hour on the Lakeview Event Center patio, which was dressed with fairy lights. Here, modern flair met traditional Mexican charm as fun velvet lounge seating arrangements invited guests to relax and mingle with a glass of their signature passion fruit margarita. Vibrant colors of pink, orange, and more were incorporated into the decor, adding pops of color against the elegant backdrop of the estate. 

Megan and Jorge also set up an area for photos with a pink velvet couch underneath a wooden arch adorned with vibrant floral arrangements by LMA Designs. It was finished with a chili pepper garland and custom neon sign that said, “Te amo.”  

As the sun began to set, guests transitioned into the event center for the reception. The ambiance was one of refined elegance. Champagne-colored satin linens adorned the tables, creating a luxurious setting, and white floral centerpieces exuded sophistication while paying homage to Megan’s classic taste. Each table was set with a papel picado-inspired table number and custom white maracas for every guest.

During the reception, guests savored a plated dinner experience that combined gourmet delights of smoked brisket with grilled corn and a black eye pea salad, maple mustard glazed chicken with brown sugar carrots and roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and a rigatoni primavera. 

As the night came to a close, Megan and Jorge danced to “Ride With Me,” by Cody Johnson under the shimmering installation of disco balls and chandeliers for the first time as newlyweds.  

Their wedding at Cherokee Dock was not only a testament to their love but also a beautiful blend of cultures, creating memories to cherish for a lifetime.
