It takes powerful emotions to unite a man and woman for life. So when it was time for Amy Hollon and Kevin Gordon to join in marriage, they wanted their ceremony to reflect the great depths of their love for one another.
“We wanted it to be amazing… and really personal.” Amy explains.
 They succeeded. Amy and Kevin’s wedding at St. John the Divine Episcopal Church in River Oaks was set to breathtaking, large-scale musical performances.
Working with wedding consultant Elizabeth Morgan and Amy’s mother, Cynthia Mills, Amy booked the musicians through Marshall Maxwell Entertainment Agency. She also worked closely with John Gearhart, director of music ministries at St. John.
The result was an unforgettable combination of performances by Gearhart and associate director of music Steven Newberry, along with many other talented musicians. One of the highlights of the ceremony was St. John’s world-class organ. “It played music that was elegant and dignified befitting a most beautiful and thoughtful wedding,” Amy says.
The sanctuary was filled with music and fragrant flowers as the carillon heralded the approaching hour.
Approximately 350 friends and family members watched Amy make her stunning walk down the aisle in a gown by Monique Lhuillier from Louise Blum. The champagne silk satin gown featured a strapless sweetheart neckline, lovely rose-shaped gathers in the ballgown skirt and a long, flowing train. Edward Sanchez of Jose Eber did Amy’s makeup, and Bella Rinova styled her hair.
 The fragrant and unique floral arrangements by David Brown were a signature element of the wedding, especially the red roses, which could be found in bouquets and boutonnières.
The reception décor at River Oaks Country Club featured gold chivari chairs and beautiful linens by Harry Rice. A metal and glass conservatory filled with flowers, foliage and live butterflies was placed next to the guest-book while paper butterflies were incorporated in the table centerpieces.
At the reception, guests enjoyed cocktails while greeted by the music of the Marshall Maxwell Entertainment Agency Jazz Trio, followed by a performance by the Tyrone Smith Revue with a special appearance by Super T accompanied by DJ Marcus McKissick. A sumptuous dinner followed.
 The bride’s eight-tiered vanilla and butter cream cake from Who Made The Cake was covered with roses, grapes and baby’s breath, and appeared to float on a bed of red roses. The groom’s chocolate cake was covered with edible golf balls and chocolate-covered strawberries.
Nhan Photography captured the entire exquisite event.
After the celebrations, Amy and Kevin honeymooned at a private villa at Villas Del Mar in Palmilla, Cabo San Lucas.
Amy says she couldn’t have created such a memorable day without her mother, “She was absolutely instrumental… her style and taste are impeccable.”
