I decided we couldn’t go all summer without seeing each other! SO, I’m inviting you all to meet me for a drink on Tuesday, July 19th at Nirvana on Lexington Avenue from 6:00-8:00pm. Nirvana is a classy, romantic restaurant and bar with delicious Indian food.

Laju Shah and Nirvana owner, Anil Amin, will be our hosts for the evening and will be offering drink specials and appetizers for our group. I’m looking forward to a “mid-summer” cocktail at Nirvana – make plans to join us. Please invite all your wedding professional friends! If you can join us, send me an email at mary@chandelierproductions.net so I can let Laju & Anil know how many people to expect. Hope to see you on July 19th at 6pm!

NYC Wedding Connection May Event

WOW! We had such a great time last night at the NYC Wedding Connection. About 35 vendors attended and shared a glass a wine, a cupcake (s) and lots of fun sharing what we do and what we love!

I want to especially thank Jen & Neil Brown from the Salt Space at Broadway & 27th St. for hosting our event. The venue is the home of Gallery Church and is used as a community resource. The Salt Space hosts jazz concerts, art shows, fundraisers, etc. The current exhibit is the Senior Projects from FIT! It was a treat to be in the space surrounded by the work of these talented students.

Several vendors provided fun for the evening: Elezye Elegant Cover Ups provided linens, Sweet Element brought cupcakes, Joslyn Dehner displayed beautiful jewelry from Stella & Dot, Royale Amethyst showed off her beautiful invitations, Nancy Swiezy Events & Floral donated a lovely floral arrangement, and Sharon Becker performed her makeup magic. Other vendors who brought portfolios, albums and products included: Nasilele Photography, Kelly Koenig, Glyph Creative Studio, Naturally Susan's, Natalie Wellness, J & J Photography, Trupp Photography, Sara Wight Photography, Mickey Micklos Films, Worship Luxury, and KatHempel Photography.

THANK YOU to everyone who made the evening so much fun. So blessed to be in your company!

Kristen and John are married!

OMGosh - I don't know where to begin describing this wedding. I'm calling it my "Royal Wedding"! For many reasons, the bride is a princess and deserved the day she has dreamt of her whole life. What a joy it was to be a part of the wedding celebration. Both families came together for the themed weekend, "Faith, Family, Fun". There were t-shirts, incredible gift bags, hospitality suite, a Mother's Day brunch, rehearsal dinner cruise, "cousin dances", etc. The MOB is a Creative Memories Field Manager and my bride is incredibly creative. Everything was cut, cropped, copied and crafted. It truly was a fun and beautiful event.

I could go on and on about the details of this wedding including the bride's unique idea of using cakes as some of the centerpieces or the fact that she wore her mother's bridal veil, but I won't - enjoy my photos!

The ceremony and reception were held at Mediterra Country Club - I love the venue and MaryAnn and her staff were amazing! Our team for the day included: Astrid & Rene Photography, AMC Video, the Robert Williamson Band, Mikkelson's Bakery, Photomingle, Lyfe of the Party, Niche Rentals, KCTecs, and Connie Duglin Linens. Kiley Melheim and Nancy Joseph worked their magic on hair and makeup.

Jennifer & Evan are married!

I had the pleasure of coordinating Jennifer & Evan's wedding on April 30th at the Naples Bay Resort. My couple live in NJ but chose Naples for their destination wedding with 40 of the closest friends and family! We held a sweet Jewish wedding on the beach at 18th Avenue with Rabbi Barras. The guests were treated to a trip to the beach by Naples Tours & Transportation complete with champagne! Upon their arrival back at Naples Bay Resort, we held a cocktail reception outdoors around the pool at the Yacht club and then we moved inside for a wonderful dinner and dancing. Everyone had such a great time and they danced the night away to DJ Cesar. The girls at Lyfe of the Party provided beautiful and elegant floral design and Gracie's Cupcakes made a "splash" for dessert. We added beautiful linens from Connie Duglin Linens to add sparkle to the room. My friend and awesome photog, Stephen DeVries flew down from Birmingham to shoot the wedding. I can't wait to see the pictures. Lynn and the staff at the yacht club were excellent to work with and my NJ couple spent their first few days as husband and wife enjoying the sun and surf in Naples!
