Anny + Eddie’s wedding at Wilder Mansion was just perfect. The skies were blue, the breeze was gentle and you’d be hard-pressed to know we were in the middle of a global pandemic other than this group was SO respectful of wearing their masks and partying ever so responsibly.
So, the world changed a little bit last year, but that didn’t stop Amber + Chris from having a blast at their intimate pandemic wedding! When Covid hit, they switched their original plans and made way for a backyard soiree at their home in Arlington Heights. They proved once and for all that all you need is love (and clear skies doesn’t hurt either).
You’ll see from reading through the nitty-gritty of working with us, our most basic package is Month of Coordination. It doesn’t really matter where you are getting married, or how many people are coming, or what the flow of the event looks like, you get everything included in that package – including a wedding rehearsal. It’s what Elizabeth, our founder, feels we need to do in order to set each coordinator up for success and make sure each client feels at ease with how the day is going to go. Here are the four main reasons we insist you have a rehearsal:
Believe it or not, 2020 wasn’t all bad. There are some sweet moments where we got to party like it was 2019, and Miriam + Bobby’s glamorous Assyrian and Palestinian wedding at Galleria Marchetti was definitely one of them.
If there is one thing I love in equal amounts to throwing a party, it’s definitely traveling and New York City is a favorite. Exploring new places, trying new foods, and seeing how others live is one of the things that brings me a lot of joy, not to mention endless amounts of inspiration for events and interiors. New York City is one of those places you can go over and over again and never do the exact same thing. I try to spend at least one weekend every year in NYC, and here are the things I constantly find myself going back to time and time again. Consider this your cheat sheet for a weekend well-spent, you know, once we can travel again.
