New York Magazine Weddings Winter 2018

When I started Ang Weddings and Events in 2011, one of the biggest reasons that our business took off is that New York Weddings picked us for their listing of New York Event Planners.  For a New York bride who has been reading NY magazine for years, the wedding issue becomes their bible when wedding planning.  I am always grateful for that start and the couples that have found us through the magazine.  Now I am so happy to be a contributor to their articles!  I am so pleased to have helped out with not one, but two articles in the Winter 2018 issue.  Planning a Wedding in Six Weeks and 15 New Wedding Reception Venues.  It is always a treat and still surreal to see my name in print in a major publication.  Thank you for including my tips!

Jewel Toned Rainbow Room Wedding

Rachel and Brian wanted a formal New York City wedding and found the perfect place at the iconic Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Plaza.  The stunning views of the city and the gorgeous art deco details in the historic venue made it a sure thing as soon as they saw the space.

Central Park Zoo Wedding

Carly and Xavier were looking for something unique.  Perhaps an outdoor wedding or a view of the New York skyline.  We managed to find them both of these things at the Central Park Zoo!  They had a small ceremony at City Hall and invited their dearest friends and family to party with them at the zoo.  A zoo isn't immediately what you think of as wedding worthy, but the Central Park Zoo is a special place.  The warm brick columns and the lush green ivy, make it truly beautiful.  Carly wore a stunning lace jumpsuit from DVF and carried a lush bouquet of deep red peonies.

The Surrey Hotel Rooftop Wedding

Chelsea and Kevin were married at an intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends on the rooftop of a boutique hotel The Surrey.  Dark clouds had been threatening us all morning, but thankfully it remained dry for their sweet ceremony and gorgeous photographs on the rooftop afterwards!  Guests were welcomed to the penthouse level with an elegant welcome sign of hand calligraphy on a framed mirror.   We had a string trio play Etta James' At Last as Chelsea walked down the aisle in a classic Monique Lhuillier gown with a cathedral length veil floating behind her.  

The reception followed a few blocks away at Chef Daniel Bouloud's michelin starred restaurant.  We just had to bring Chelsea and Kevin to the the kitchen to take some pictures in there!  During the delicious meal, guests enjoyed a jazz trio, which then transitioned to a DJ for dancing later.  

Written Word Calligraphy designed the save the date, invitation and the day of paperie.  I just love her modern calligraphy on all these pieces, making them so unique and special.  The gold foil stamping on ivory was perfectly classic, and her metallic hand calligraphy on the escort cards beyond dreamy.

Style Me Pretty: Chic NYC Wedding With Skyline Views + Lace Jumpsuit

Thank you to Style Me Pretty for featuring Carly and Xavier's spring wedding at the Central Park Zoo!  It was such a unique location for a reception.  Guests enjoyed cocktails around the sea lion pool, with an incredible view of Central Park South, and went on to dinner under a tent filled with twinkling lights.  It was a really fun celebration and I loved being part of it!

Four Seasons Hotel Wedding: Emily and Leon

Emily and Leon had a New York wedding in spring, the same season as when they first started dating.  I loved their elegant and timeless style, and the addition of sweet little whimsical touches.  Her Monique Lhuillier gown had an intricately beaded bodice and a full ballgown skirt with an asymmetric gather.  Emily hand illustrated the save the date herself!  She often drew a cartoon bear and lion to represent them as a couple and this illustration made its way to the formal invitation and the Eleni's cookie favours.  Blossom and Branch brought spring to the inside of the Four Seasons Hotel with towering cherry blossoms and romantic peonies everywhere, including coral charms, which are such show stoppers.  I particularly loved their wedding cake from Nine Cakes with a gold accent tier and a cascade of loose cherry blossoms tinged in gold falling down the cake.  Thank you to Brian Hatton for capturing their sweet day!

Gotham Hall Wedding

Rachel and Mike were married on a beautiful sunny day in March.  They lucked out with lovely warm weather, which allowed for dreamy portraits just outside the American Museum of Natural History.  Right around the corner from where Rachel grew up on the Upper West Side.  Their ceremony and reception took place at Gotham Hall, where Fleurs brought such an elegant, classic and glamourous touch.
