Mario & Idalia’s Elegant English Manor Wedding by FNA Events

Buenos días! Fresh New Angle Events is here to share another fantastic real wedding that went down this past fall 2023 at one of our favorite venues in the Jersey Shore: The English Manor! The entire event took place at the venue, including bride and groom prep, ceremony, and reception. Check out some of the shots from our stunning bride and her gals getting ready for what would turn out to be an awesome party!

How fantastic does our bride look!? It was just a little chilly as we set up for the first look, luckily our handsome groom Mario swooped in to heat things up! Muy Caliente!!! FNA’s lead photographer Peter Statkiewicz captured the entire day, including the moment they first got to see each other all dressed up and ready to get married!

The ceremony was held at the outdoor space at English Manor, officiated by FNA’s own Chuckie Hype, as family and friends got to witness these two exchange vows and pledge everlasting love!

Next, we all got to enjoy cocktail hour and set up for reception. Now this crew seemed fun all day, but the photo/video team didn’t know that our bi-lingual DJ Juan Carlos and Chuckie Hype were about to turn this party sideways with almost exclusively Latin-flavored beats. Delicioso!

This was definitely one of our favorite weddings of the year. I can’t wait to see the full album! Here’s the video highlight!
