Some love stories are written in the stars, and others are written in the melodies of a favorite song. For Alexa and Sean Geary, their journey to forever was underscored by the music of Pearl Jam, the band that had accompanied them on unforgettable adventures. Their engagement was a private, intimate moment in a Chicago hotel room before a concert—a reflection of their love, built on deep understanding and thoughtful gestures. After seven years together, the couple knew their wedding would be more than just a celebration; it would be a tribute to their journey, a gathering of love and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. On July 20, 2024, at the picturesque Kloc’s Grove in West Seneca, NY, Alexa and Sean promised forever in front of 150 of their closest family and friends, crafting a day that was as elegant as it was fun.
A Wedding Day Rooted in Love and Meaning
Alexa and Sean had faced profound loss and challenges in the years leading up to their wedding, making the presence of their loved ones on this special day even more significant. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to honor their journey, while ensuring a celebration that was as lively as it was heartfelt. They focused on creating a day that balanced sophistication with pure joy—an event where laughter, music, and cherished moments filled every space.
The Perfect Setting: Kloc’s Grove
Nestled in the lush greenery of West Seneca, Kloc’s Grove provided the ideal backdrop for both the ceremony and reception. The venue’s timeless charm and natural beauty set the stage for a romantic exchange of vows, while its elegant indoor space transformed into a vibrant celebration later in the evening. From the moment guests arrived, they were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth, love, and excitement.
A Wedding Day to Remember: The Little Moments That Meant the Most
One of the most cherished aspects of Alexa and Sean’s wedding was the time they intentionally set aside just for each other throughout the day. “It was surreal to realize that we were finally married,” Alexa shared. “I’m so thankful that one of our venue coordinators mentioned how little time couples actually get together on their wedding day. We planned around that, and it made all the difference.” Those quiet, stolen moments allowed them to pause, take in the magic of the day, and fully embrace the beginning of their forever.
Elegant Attire with a Personal Touch
Alexa stunned in a beautifully tailored gown, made perfect through the expert hands at Chayban’s Tailors in Orchard Park. Sean looked sharp in a classic suit from Riverside Men's Shop, exuding timeless elegance. Their styles complemented each other effortlessly, reflecting their shared vision of sophistication with a personal touch.
Capturing Every Moment
With photography being a top priority for the couple, they entrusted Lindsey Robinson Photography (@lindseyrobinsonphoto) to document their day. Each photo told the story of their love, capturing candid moments of joy, heartfelt embraces, and the energy of the dance floor. With so many beloved family members present, these photos would serve as treasured keepsakes for years to come.
Floral Beauty & Thoughtful Details
The floral arrangements, crafted by Linda at Dash’s Market on Colvin Blvd, were a breathtaking addition to the day. Soft, romantic blooms accented the venue, adding warmth and charm. Every petal and centerpiece played a part in bringing Alexa and Sean’s
vision to life.
A Wedding Day Feast to Remember
The couple ensured their guests were treated to an incredible meal, catered by Kloc’s. From the first bite to the last toast, every dish was crafted to perfection. For dessert, Sweet Em’s Cake Boutique (@cakeboutique_sweet_em) delighted everyone with a stunning cake and delectable treats, making the sweetest moments of the night even sweeter.
The Finishing Touches: Fun & Personal Elements
To add even more excitement to the celebration, Alexa and Sean included unique elements that reflected their personalities. Guests enjoyed a photo booth from MM Photobooths (@mm.photobooths) and left heartfelt messages in their After the Tone audio guestbook, creating lasting memories beyond the traditional guestbook. Simply the Best limo service ensured they traveled in style, making every moment feel like a fairy tale.
A Rock & Roll Twist
While many weddings stick to traditional playlists, Alexa and Sean infused their love of rock music into the dinner hour, creating a playlist that was uniquely theirs. They also selected meaningful songs for their aisle walks, ensuring that every musical note played that day resonated deeply with their love story.
Advice for Future Couples
Having navigated the highs and lows of wedding planning, Alexa and Sean shared a piece of advice for future couples: “Above everything, stay true to what you and your partner really want for your day. You’re not going to please everyone, so do what makes you happy. Enjoy the planning process together, and don’t be afraid to incorporate aspects that reflect your personalities.”
A Honeymoon to Look Forward To
Though their wedding day was a dream come true, Alexa and Sean knew that planning both a wedding and a big trip at once would be overwhelming. That’s why they chose to delay their honeymoon, giving themselves something exciting to look forward to in March—a relaxing getaway to Aruba. After all the hard work of planning and celebrating, a sun-soaked retreat will be the perfect way to begin their married life.
Reflections on the Planning Process
Alexa’s journey through wedding planning led her to create @buffalo_bridal, an Instagram page dedicated to sharing insights and experiences. “There is so much we didn’t know going into it,” she admitted. “If we had to pick just one thing we wish we had known, it would be the cost of everything. It was hard to even know where to start.” By documenting her experiences, she hopes to help future brides navigate the process with more confidence and ease.
A Love Worth Celebrating
Alexa and Sean’s wedding at Kloc’s Grove was more than just a beautiful event—it was a reflection of their journey, their resilience, and their unwavering love for one another. With a day filled with elegance, fun, and deeply personal touches, they proved that the best weddings are the ones that truly feel like you. As they step into this next chapter together, their love story continues—set to the soundtrack of their favorite songs, with hearts full of love and memories to last a lifetime.
Cheers to the Gearys and their forever adventure! 🥂💕
