We have to talk about a spot that’s got history, looks, and a whole lot of heart – the Pennsylvania State Capitol. Now, imagine getting hitched in such an iconic place. Sounds pretty awesome, right? Well, that’s exactly the scene for Sarah and Greg’s Harrisburg Capitol wedding, and their story is just too sweet not to share. They went for an intimate vibe, inviting only 20 close friends and family to witness their “I do’s” on the Capitol steps. Their day was filled with personal touches, from a first look surrounded by stunning architecture to ending the night at their favorite brewery. I’m so in love with the grandeur of this space which is why it’s on my list of best elopement locations in Pennsylvania. Let’s dig in, shall we?
First up, let’s get into how Sarah and Greg’s paths crossed. Imagine meeting your future spouse at work. Now, make that workplace the grand Pennsylvania State Capitol. How cool is that!? That’s exactly how Sarah and Greg’s story began.
Can you imagine a better place for them to tie the knot!? I love their heartfelt decision to kick off their new life together right where their love story first sparked to life. It was about making their wedding day a full-circle moment, celebrating where it all began with a bang!
Sarah and Greg chose the Capitol’s second floor for their first look, where the ceiling and architecture are simply stunning. This special moment included Greg’s daughter, making it even more memorable. The location was perfect for capturing the beauty and significance of the day.
Following the first look, Sarah surprised everyone by not walking up the aisle in the traditional manner. Instead, she descended the grand staircase to meet Greg at the altar. Dubbed as her “Titanic Moment,” it was dramatic and unforgettable. This entrance added a unique touch to their ceremony, creating a moment that was all their own against the impressive backdrop of the Capitol.
Sarah and Greg kept it cozy with just 20 of their favorite people, saying “I do” on the Capitol steps. I loved that they turned a usually busy spot into their own slice of romance, proving you don’t need a big crowd to make a big impact. It was magical, intimate, and totally them!
After saying “I do” in style, Sarah and Greg made a stylish exit in a limo, heading straight to Troegs Brewery for their reception. The switch from the Capitol’s elegance to the laid-back vibes of Troegs couldn’t have been more perfect for them.
