What an incredible day! We had a blast planning with two of the sweetest people on the planet. Anna + Sam were absolutely surrounded by love for their entire day, from the Ketubah signing to the last dance. We were so honored to be a part of it. When we first met them and learned that they just wanted to have an excellent party surrounded by their loved ones, we knew we could make that happen for them. And Anna comes from theater, so we clicked right away! Walkabout Theatre performed during the cocktail hour and their talented friend Kyra led us all in a singalong. It was a perfect day.

Congratulations, Anna + Sam! We love you!

Sweet, whip-smart, and adorable, these two lawyers had an absolutely gorgeous day to get married! The Ivy Room was the perfect setting for these beautiful people, and we gathered an incredible team of vendors to make their dream day happen (if we do say so ourselves)! Planning with them for over a year was a blast, and we loved seeing it come to fruition so beautifully. And once again, Ingrid Bonne worked her magic and captured every moment perfectly. Congratulations, Sara + Jason! We adore you and wish you all the best!

Rebecca and David were such sweethearts! Music was the theme, and we absolutely loved the flowers that Rebecca made! It was a beautiful day after rain threatened, and their ceremonies were simply lovely. We had a wonderful time coordinating the Christian and Jewish ceremonies, and their reception was so full of love and laughter and wonderful speeches. We wish the newlyweds all the happiness in the world!
