Rylee and Jackson hired us to execute their December wedding – including a pop up ceremony in central park for them and their intimate group of 30 guests. Having a wedding in NYC was extremely important to them, and they chose places around this city that were both personal and still gave their guests an iconic NYC experience.

For the ceremony, Jackson and their guests stood as Rylee descended down the grand staircase, and the intricate tiled ceilings, and soft natural light create a ceremony setting that feels straight out of a movie—without needing much extra styling. Our team coordinated the pre-recorded music to a tee, which featured a beautiful recording of Rylee speaking to Jackson as she walked down the aisle which was created by their closest family and friends.

Under the terrace arches, Rylee and Jackson shared their first kiss as newlyweds, framed by timeless architecture and subtle white florals. The look was elegant but unfussy—the focus was on the couple. It’s proof that thoughtful planning and a few well-placed details can make a big impact, especially in a space that already holds so much character.

After the ceremony, guests were bussed up to the Upper West Side and the celebration continued with a moody, candlelit reception at Prohibition. The vibe there leaned into warmth and atmosphere. A classic white cake, glowing candles, moody colors and accents and rich textures created a space that felt intimate, romantic, and just a little bit dramatic (in the best way). For couples in the thick of wedding planning, this day is a reminder: when your wedding reflects your style and your story, the magic tends to fall right into place.
