Another one of our wonderful couples Jeannie and Justin had a long distance planning relationship with us as they were based in Ann Arbor, Michigan while planning their wedding in NJ. Add to that relocating to NY, finishing a residency, starting a new job and an over 200 count guest list. This was one busy couple. ! They were wonderful to work with and the blending of cultures was so fun to see and be a part of. Oh and special thanks to David Swirsky of Expressway Music..You most definitely made my night !

Used the free template on Style Me Pretty !

Here are some images of a 40th Birthday Party we consulted on at the Cooper Square Hotel.  Pretty great night, friends from all over the world and a special Swedish pop band which was flown in specifically for the party to sign 80’s covers !

Penthouse Balcony

The Birthday Boy ! except a couple of decades ago...:)

In our second stop of the day West Park Winery.  A true winner and the one we ended up choosing it had all the prerequisites, Different (Check !), Uncultivated ( Check !) Ceremony and Reception in both places (Check !) and a clean slate to make their own.

We have so many great plans for the space, here are some pics I was able to take today and check out this flickr album for clearer shots of the beautiful outdoor grounds.

In the search for the perfect venue, one of our 2010 couples and I started visiting venues a bit past Westchester.  After ruling out Round Hill, Monteverde, Catlin Gardens and Crossed Keys. We went together to visit Hammon Museum and Japanese Garden ( which the couple had previously visited.  The Hammond is a great mix of modern ( with a art gallery entry way) and a great Japanese garden and tea house.  I absolutely loved the space and even though the couple did not choose it, I got so many ideas as we walked through the garden.  Definitely recommend it for those of you looking for a garden wedding with a contemporary twist.
