Chinese Tuxedo Wedding - Manhattan, NYC - Sam & Stan
Samantha and Stanislas’s colorful, non-traditional wedding celebration at a chic NYC Chinatown Restaurant was the perfect mix of timeless style, modern traditions, and international influences. The couple took a no-stress approach to wedding planning, and went for cocktail party vibes for their wedding day- limiting formalities in order to prioritize socializing with friends. The bride made a statement with her vibrant yellow Solace London gown as the couple walked through the busy streets of Manhattan, and joined their guests for eclectic cocktails at the retro glam speakeasy, Peachy’s. The ceremony followed, upstairs at Chinese Tuxedo- a unique multi-level space that historically served as an opera house and was recently restored into a modern Chinese restaurant. The industrial restaurant’s leather booths, candles, and mid-century modern pendant lights complimented Peachy’s low lighting and neon signs. The food is spectacular- the chef being recognized as a NYC Rising Star in 2020. After dinner, the guests retreated back downstairs for the afterparty- complete with neon signs, disco balls, and flowers hanging from the ceiling- to dance the night away.
Skylark Wedding - Manhattan, NYC - Ned & Jason
Ned & Jason live in Chelsea, so to show off the neighborhood to their guests they chose the SKYLARK rooftop cocktail lounge in Midtown as their wedding venue. They wanted their wedding to feel more like a really long cocktail hour/party than a stuffy sit-down dinner- and the Skylark delivered. With its giant picture windows showcasing the epic NYC skyline views (especially of the Empire State Building), and open multi-level floor plan with couches and nooks situated throughout for people to get comfy and mingle during the unseated reception and dance party- it was the perfect unique venue for them.
