Veronica and John's Georgia Meets St. Thomas



What a way to start up the blog! With a bit of sugar and spice and everything nice for a starter photo! Those two ingredients made up Veronica and John. They weren’t your ordinary couple. They were cool and on top of every detail. Oh and did I neglect to say they live in Philadelphia?? So we spoke through email daily combing through every detail of their wedding.

The couple decided to have the wedding in New York. To keep it close to her home Veronica decided to have her ceremony at her home church Shiloh Baptist Church. And the reception was held at the beautiful Bridgeview Yacht Club. Everyone you must make sure you work with the fabulous Eric! He was wonderful to work with and always available.

Veronica immediately became a girlfriend of mines from the first meeting, so it became easy to plan her wedding. We even talked during the times when there was nothing to plan.

And the girl has great taste. She booked some of the greatest vendors I work with to work during her wedding. Josh of Joshua Dwain Photography. captured her wedding details. And when I first saw the photos I gasped. He is truly a phenomenal photographer. Love ya Josh!!

My celebrity makeup artist Starr Blackshere and hair stylist GStar made the bride’s beauty glow the entire day.  You can’t stop staring at the photos.

The beautiful flowers were designed by Mark of Flowers by Topaz. Don’t they just pop out in every photo? Chris Bryan of EmotionPictures is one of my top videographers who filmed their wedding. All invitations and stationary were designed by Adrienne Johnson. And lastly Raphael of Music Mixed Intelligently had the crowd pumped up on the dance floor.
Thank you Veronica and John for such a wonderful time.

Everyone enjoy the photos & video!

Karla Pettaway and Binoy George Wedding


Lights, Camera, Action! Karla and Binoy were all about the glitz and glamour for their wedding day. And on with such a day like this she must have one of the best makeup artist.  Seanna the makeup artist made the bride look gorgeous along with her wedding party. The paparazzi filled the room by continuously flashing their cameras the entire night trying to capture memories of such a beautiful day!

When I first sat down with Karla at Martha's Country Bakery in Queens, NY I knew she was a woman of style. She wanted to create an elegant feel for her wedding and it was mastered.

The ceremony and reception was held in the beautiful gates of The Inn at New Hyde Park. The venue is beautiful with a Tuscany feel. I highly recommend this venue for everyone. PBG Events provided lighting throughout the entire room. The lighting was amazing and Gil the owner was a pleasure to work with. The lush and elegant flowers were decorated by United Floral Events. All of the photos were captured by Rendezvous Photography.
Enjoy!

Behind the Scenes





I was asked a few weeks ago what does a wedding planner or wedding coordinator do on the wedding day. I thought it was a great question. After everything you’ve planned from the wedding colors, to the flowers, meeting with vendor after vendor, going over details with the wedding venue, you are going to want to relax and not worry about those details. Who can you trust to take care of those details that are so important? We are there to take care of all those details by managing your wedding day, managing the vendors, lining up the wedding party and more. Every detail is handled professionally so you can enjoy your big day! And we are so very proud to be Rated by Wedding Wire of providing excellent services to our clients.

I thought it would be helpful to give you a slight glimpse of the day with a few behind the scene photos of a few of our past weddings. I wish we could put them all up but there are too many great weddings that were beautiful as the couples we’ve built wonderful friendships with throughout the years!
