Anthony & Laura | Wedding Day
Anthony & Laura had a wonderful wedding at the lovely Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota on 9/3/2016.
There’s just something classic and romantic about rolling grass, wide open sky, and tranquil, unspoiled beauty of nature — and that’s exactly what Anthony & Laura’s wedding day was all about on September 3, 2016, at the stunning Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. It was a day of beauty, happiness, and memories that will last a lifetime, and it all went down at one of the most beautiful locations in the state.
Anthony and Laura’s wedding was anticipated and filled with genuine excitment from day one. The day began with each of them getting ready in different suites, surrounded by their nearest and dearest friends and family. There was lots of laughter, sweet toasts and those moments leading up to walking down the aisle that are once in a lifetime that was all the time leading up to Laura’s bridal prep. She glowed — from her graceful dress, to her wide smile, to her full heart. Meanwhile, Anthony and his groomsmen had their own quiet moments tying ties, swapping stories and soaking in the significance of the day.
The ceremony was held on the impeccably manicured lawn of Hazeltine National Golf Club, a top tier Minnesota location. Recognized as championship golf course and boasting incredible views of Lake Hazeltine, the venue made for a breathtaking setting to exchange vows (and celebrate love!) for Anthony and Laura. Beneath a blue September sky and the lush greens of the course, the couple said vows they pledged for forever with family and friends watching.
The ceremony was festive, funny and just the right amount of tearful. Their love for one another was palpable in every look and every word — the type of love that stems from friendship, mutual respect, and decades of shared memories. The crowd went wild as they said “I do” and you could tell that joy was filling the room.
After the ceremony, guests sipped cocktails and mingled on the outdoor patio, while the couple took portraits around the grounds. The sun was setting just so, casting a golden tint on the greens — a timeless moment soon to be frozen in time. From the calm tranquility of the lake to the gentle wind blowing across the fairways, everything about this place added to the magic of the day.
The party went on at the lodge’s chic clubhouse that was set with beautiful flowers, warm candlelight, and countless elegant details. The room was intimate and grand — just the right atmosphere in which to celebrate at night.
To the sound of charming toasts by family and friends, the reception began. Every speech boasted anecdotes from Anthony and Laura’s love story — how they met, the connection they have and the happiness they have spread. Their first dance was elegant and full of emotion, which was exactly what their night was full of — not only a room packed with love for one another, but laughter, and some killer dance moves.
And the energy never waned as the night wore on. Friends and family of all ages joined the couple on the dance floor, laughed and shared in the kind of night any bride and groom dream of having. It was a beautiful illustration of the love and support that surrounds Anthony and Laura — and the bond of the life they’re creating together.
