There is something undeniably timeless about historic venues nestled in the rolling hills of Ohio. When Jagerd and Abbi chose A Cord of Three: Weddings & Events in Hanoverton, Ohio, they chose a venue steeped in both character and romance. Originally built in 1888 as a schoolhouse, this restored gem provided the ultimate blend of historic charm, exposed brick, and intimate outdoor grounds for a day filled with emotion, laughter, and celebration.
Why a "First Look" Timeline Changed Everything
One of the best design choices Jagerd and Abbi made for their day was opting for a first look before the ceremony.
Because they saw each other prior to walking down the aisle, we had dedicated, uninterrupted time to photograph:
The Emotional Reveal: A quiet moment just for the two of them away from the crowd.
Bride & Groom Portraits: Soft, natural light portraits around the historic grounds without feeling rushed.
Bridal Party Photos: Relaxed, fun bridal party group shots while everyone's energy, hair, and makeup were freshly styled.
By checking off the couple portraits and wedding party shots before ceremony time, Jagerd and Abbi were completely present and at ease the rest of the day.
An Intimate Ceremony & Cocktail Hour Family Portraits
Following their sweet vows, the celebration shifted straight into cocktail hour.
Because we took the couple’s portraits beforehand, Jagerd and Abbi only needed a quick 20-minute window to complete family formal portraits. Guests were free to mingle, enjoy signature drinks, and experience the warm ambiance of the venue while family photos moved along smoothly and efficiently.
Reception Moments & A Whimsical Bubble Send-Off
Once family formals wrapped up, everyone headed into the main hall for dinner, heartfelt toasts, and an energetic evening on the dance floor.
To end such an unforgettable celebration, Jagerd and Abbi opted for a bubble send-off. Under the night sky, surrounded by shimmering bubbles floating through the air, their guests lined the walkway to cheer the newly married couple out into the evening—a classic, photogenic finale to a flawless day.
