Celebration: Erica + Ben’s Wedding at Oheka Castle

Event Planning + Design: Karyn Michael Events

Number of Guests: 160

Highlights: In late August, Erica and Ben exchanged vows in the Water Gardens of Oheka Castle, surrounded by breathtaking beauty and timeless grandeur. Their ceremony took place beneath a lush floral arch of blue hydrangea, cascading white phalaenopsis orchids, and classic white roses. Two lush verdant arches framed the setting, creating a dramatic garden backdrop. At the very moment they sealed their vows with a kiss, the sky erupted with daytime fireworks in vibrant shades of blue, green, and purple a dazzling spectacle reflected across the castle’s fountains and pools.

As guests transitioned into cocktail hour, the celebration continued with elegance and artistry. On the rear lawn, ballerinas performed graceful routines against the backdrop of the castle, delighting guests with a touch of whimsy and enchantment that set the tone for the evening ahead.

The reception unfolded in the Grand Ballroom, where opulence and romance intertwined. Navy velvet draping transformed the room into a luxurious haven, anchored by a reflective gold mirror dance floor that shimmered beneath the light. Towering white orchid trees and lush floral tablescapes brought elegance and drama to each table, creating a scene as unforgettable as the couple’s love story.

From a ceremony marked by enchantment, to a cocktail hour filled with artistry, and a ballroom alive with grandeur, Erica and Ben’s Oheka Castle wedding was nothing short of magical.
