Grand Holland Estate Fall Wedding | Mr. & Mrs. Jauregui

Classy Grand Holland Estate Fall Wedding

On Saturday, October 26, 2024, Kate Novack and Justin Jauregui exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony at The Grand Holland Estate in Simpsonville, South Carolina. 

Kate and Justin’s journey began years ago as high school students, and their love has stood the test of 5 years of long distance while they were in college, where they found themselves growing closer and building a love that felt meant to last. Their friends and family often say it’s as if Kate and Justin were made for one another.

The Wedding Morning

The day began with Kate and her bridesmaids getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite at The Grand Holland. 

Kate’s classic gown captured her timeless style, and as she looked at herself in the mirror, a sense of peace and joy washed over her. Meanwhile, Justin was just a few rooms away, spending the morning with his groomsmen, preparing for the moment he would finally see his bride.

The ceremony took place indoors at the bottom of The Grand Holland Estate’s beautiful staircase. As Kate walked down the aisle, arm in arm with her father, the look of pride and joy on his face reflected the love and support that had brought her to this moment. Kate and Justin exchanged heartfelt vows, filled with both humor and promises to support one another through life’s highs and lows. When they were finally pronounced husband and wife, guests erupted into applause, and the couple’s joy was unmistakable.

The Reception

Following the ceremony, guests gathered in The Grand Holland Estate’s reception space, where they were greeted by a warm and welcoming reception ambiance. The décor was classy & elegant with sage, whites, lots of greenery and beautiful white florals. Everyone enjoyed an amazing dinner and then the couple shared their first dance and then Kate danced with her dad and Justin with his mom.

The evening continued with heartfelt toasts from family members and close friends. Kate’s mom and dad delivered a speeches, sharing memories of her childhood and celebrating the love that she had found in Justin. Then Kate’s older sister and Justin’s brother both also shared speeches with moments filled with laughs and some tears. 

After dinner, the dance floor opened up, and guests of all ages joined in. The night was filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments as Kate and Justin celebrated with their friends and family. The dj played a mix of classics and modern hits, making it impossible for anyone to resist the dance floor. The guests enjoyed an outdoor cigar bar and beautiful evening weather between moments of dancing their hearts out.

As the night drew to a close, the couple made their way through a tunnel of family and friends cheering them on. Their smiles and laughter echoed as they stepped into their vintage getaway car, ready to begin the next chapter of their lives together.
