Real Wedding Inspiration: River Cafe in Brooklyn, NY
Hey ! I'm thrilled to share with you the beautiful love story of Gairy and Colleen, who celebrated their special day in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. From the stunning venues to the heartfelt moments, this wedding was a true reflection of their love and personalities. Join me on this journey as I recount the details and highlights of their unforgettable celebration!
Colleen and Gairy's journey to marriage was a beautiful blend of tradition and modernity. The day before their grand wedding celebration, the couple chose to make their union official in a city hall wedding. It was an elegant and intimate affair, with only their mothers as witnesses. This private ceremony allowed them to savor a special moment with their closest loved ones, creating a meaningful prelude to the larger festivities that awaited them.
Gairy and Colleen chose two incredible wedding venues that perfectly complemented their wedding vision. The ceremony took place at The River Cafe, a charming and picturesque location known for its breathtaking views of the New York City skyline. The reception, held aboard the Harborline Yacht (The Manhattan II), provided a unique and memorable experience as guests sailed around Manhattan, taking in the mesmerizing sights of the city.
The summer weather blessed us with a sunny day, creating an idyllic atmosphere for Gairy and Colleen's wedding. Despite a minor hiccup with the ceremony plan due to smoke from the Canadian wildfires, the love and joy radiated throughout the day. The vibe was super chill and very classy, setting the stage for an intimate and heartfelt celebration. There wasn't a dry eye in the house during the emotional ceremony!
Gairy looked dashing in a striking black tuxedo, while Colleen stunned in a classic white wedding gown. Their attire symbolized elegance and timelessness, perfectly complementing the overall aesthetic of the wedding. The color palette was carefully chosen, featuring a clean combination of black and white with pops of green, adding a touch of freshness and vibrancy to the celebration.
One of our favorite Brooklyn wedding moments of the day was when Gairy and Colleen floated past the Statue of Liberty on their private yacht, surrounded by their loved ones. The sheer joy and happiness on their faces was truly unforgettable. Throughout the day, there were several heartfelt speeches from family and close friends, including Colleen's childhood friend, her uncle, and Gairy's sister. The couple incorporated unique touches such as a Polaroid camera guest book and table signs representing different Manhattan neighborhoods. The ambiance was enhanced by a delightful three-piece jazz band that entertained guests aboard the yacht.
Colleen and Gairy discovered One 15 Events through our website and, after a fun consultation call, decided to entrust us with their wedding day-of coordination.
