The bride, Lauren, tells us about the inspiration for her Swan Harbor Farm wedding, captured beautifully by Erin Kelleher Photography. “A lot of people refer to the greater Baltimore area as “smalltimore”, because it seems that most people have less than one degree of separation. This is particularly true in Harford County, where most people know each other and are willing to extend a loving, helping hand at any time. For us, this one degree of separation was vital in us meeting. We do, and always have, valued this type of small town/community feel. We value the people and their work and businesses that make our area great. THIS was the inspiration for our wedding. We know that it takes a diversity of people and talents to make an area and community thrive. And when you know where your goods are coming from, what better way to enjoy them? We wanted to utilize as many local vendors, farms and friends to help make our wedding day dream come true. These people keep the community beautiful, and it was easily reflected in our wedding. Best of all, it made our wedding planning process the most enjoyable experience in the world because we worked with great people in the community and in typical Maryland fashion, often found that we had less than one degree of separation, making new friends along the way. We are proud of our area, and feel that supporting local farms and businesses is vital to the thriving culture of our community. Words from our menu:”For our special day, we made a conscious effort to support the local businesses that make our home great. At our table, you join us in supporting sustainable purveyors that respect the abundance and traditions of the region while helping its future.”
