G Gathering Sydney Lauer and Jeffery Wantz Wed at Kingsmill Resort

Sydney Lauer and Jeffery Wantz Wed at Kingsmill Resort



Sydney Lauer and Jeffery Wantz were recently married at the beautiful Kingsmill Resort. Over 108 guests from across Virginia and Maryland, and from as far away as New York City and Southern California, spent the weekend at one of the East Coast's premier resorts, celebrating the nuptials. On Saturday afternoon, the ceremony took place beneath Kingsmill's famed Seven Trees with a spectacular view of the James River as its background. Following the ceremony, guests gathered for hors d'oeuvres and cocktails on the balcony of the James River Ballroom. Dinner was later served in the ballroom, followed by dancing. At the end of the evening, guests moved upstairs for a fun-filled afterparty in Kingsmill's Moody's Tavern.
