The Otesaga Wedding | Elevated Events by SM
Caroline and Luke’s wedding at The Otesaga Resort in Cooperstown, NY was a bright, heartfelt summer celebration filled with joy from start to finish. Caroline’s vibrant, infectious energy paired beautifully with Luke’s calm, steady demeanor, together creating a day that felt perfectly balanced and full of love.
The ceremony overlooking Otsego Lake was unforgettable. Surrounded by beautiful blues, pinks, whites, and greens from Fleurtacious Designs, guests listened as Caroline’s brother delivered an emotional reading that added a deeply personal touch.
With Shelby from Elevated Events by SM coordinating every detail, the day flowed effortlessly, allowing the couple to be fully present with the people who matter most. From the beginning, Caroline and Luke emphasized how important their guests were, sharing, “Our guests—they mean everything to us!” Their greatest wish was to see family and friends enjoying the celebration, and the day delivered exactly that.
Laughter, connection, and genuine joy filled every moment, from the lakeside ceremony to the lively reception that closed out a truly beautiful summer day for the sweetest couple.
