Emilie + Ben
Emilie and Ben's wedding at the historic Sentinel Hotel was a celebration wrapped in romance and elegance, perfectly timed to coincide with Tu B’av, the Jewish Valentine's Day. The couple exchanged vows in the stunning Grand Ballroom, where the aisle, aglow with flickering candles, led to an enchanting chuppah from Blum Floral Design, creating a magical and breathtaking focal point.
Following the ceremony, guests were greeted with a glass of Prosecco as they made their way to the Governor's Ballroom for the cocktail hour and reception, where the floral arrangements—crafted to match the ballroom's grandeur—left everyone in awe as they entered the space.
The celebration was a true family affair, with heartfelt toasts and a memorable flash mob led by Emilie’s sisters adding personal touches to the day. Jake’s Catering delighted everyone with a sumptuous feast, featuring the bride’s favorite Chicken Marbella, as well as Pan Roasted Salmon, accompanied by Dauphine Potatoes, Roasted Carrots, and Roasted Asparagus.
As the night unfolded, Oncore Music’s 11-person band, complete with a lively horn section, kept the dance floor packed until the very end. Guests enjoyed a delightful chocolate and vanilla cake with berries and cream, from Kyra’s Bake Shop, and a popcorn bar for a fun late-night treat.
Emilie and Ben's wedding was a wonderful blend of love, family, and celebration, and it was truly an honor to help them plan this beautiful celebration!
XOXO, Candida
