A Wedding for Marianne and Adam

Ilene was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her. I just celebrated six months, and loved looking through the photos again. They turned out beautifully and she is extremely professional and adds an extra touch at each stage that made me smile.

They were true professionals from start to finish and took care of every detail. The food was amazing, and the outdoor/indoor space is full of light with a romantic, modern feel. Food was delicious and they let us negotiate price in a a big way for our Sunday March wedding

Kiriba Logan from Atlas Floral Decorators was the florist for our wedding! He was outstanding. After a few conversations, I gave him the reins and he created gorgeous center pieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres, better than I could ever have dreamed up myself. He knew our budget and worked within it. Amazing!

Audrey's Fine Baked Goods prepared our cake, coordinated though Tribeca Rooftop. We didn't spend much time on this, but it was delicious. They have a lot more designs than ours. We aren't cake people (so it was SO nice for Tribeca Rooftop to deal with all of it.)

Laura Ann worked closely with us through many drafts to get the wedding paper just right. Her suggestions were really helpful, but she was very open to working with our ideas. Choosing a more DIY option really lowers the price. Our paper really created and solidified our theme.

Sonia Turner was the makeup artist for our wedding! I am lucky enough to call Sonia friend, and she's been in the industry for years. She spent her time at the trial and introduced me to some great new products. A real pro with a sweet presence. Just the person you want around you wedding morning.

Christine from Salon 718 was the hairstylist for our wedding! After going through 2 different stylists who did not get my vision at all, Christine saved me a week before the wedding. A total pro, she kept my curls in their natural state, I felt like a gorgeous, elegant, sassy version of me!

Tribeca Rooftop required us to go with Power Posse, or there was a big fee. They just did not feel us. I'm sure communication goes both ways, but this was the only part of the wedding I was unhappy with. The lighting and music didn't set the mood I wanted, and was often stop/start with people on the dance floor.

I purchased my Rosa Clara dress from Designer Loft. It was a sample, so discounted. I am so glad I found my dress there: the cozy and elegant midtown boutique is a relaxing and special place. They did all of the (significant) alterations for one set price and were great to work with!

I am tall and wanted flats for my wedding. Surprisingly hard to find, but Dessy has a nice collection and good customer service. I sprained my foot the day before the wedding, so it's a good thing I went with flats! (Everything turned out fine!)

The bridesmaid's dresses are from David's! With bridesmaids all over the country and working within budgets, this was the easiest option. It was easy to say: pick from these 9 options in this color (plum), and they picked the dress they felt they looked best in. I think it turned out great!

For the price of a rental, you can get a multipurpose suit, that I think looked great. Customer service was much better in Manhattan than some of the national branch stores some of the groomsmen encountered. Tie from Bergdorf Goodman!

TC Jewelers is a wonderful jeweler in Chicago, and Anita is a member of the family who lives in New York and is expanding the business east. She helped Adam pick the engagement ring (which I LOVE) and we decided to get the bands through her as well. She brought them to our apt. to view samples until we found the pair!
