A beautiful night, for a beautiful cause.

Last night was the official launch of the Wish Upon a Wedding - NJ Chapter. This fabulous event took place at the gorgeous Florentine Gardens in River Vale, NJ.


What is "WUW" you may ask?  

"Wish Upon a Wedding provides weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. Often, couples facing such situations do not have the energy, time, money, or resources needed to plan their wedding. Our organization takes care of all the details, offering couples a chance to relax and enjoy a very special day while surrounded by the love of their closest family and friends." 

For the past year, we've been following this organization as it first started to blossom to now where there are various chapters all over the United States! It really is amazing what people will get together and do when it's for such a worthy cause.

For this New Jersey launch party, we provided a discount/gift card for their "Swag bag" whereby those who donated to the event received one of these amazing bags filled with goodies, discounts and treats for all different participating and supportive professionals.

The red sangria was a hit in my book! ;)

It was so great to finally meet so many different professionals we've either connected via social media or know one another through a mutual friend. Even re-connecting with those we haven't seen in a while was such a nice surprise!

Monica & Paul: A Rockin' July '10 Wedding!

We can't honestly tell you how humbled and happy we feel when we receive a beautiful (and lengthy!) review on our services.  For anyone in the services industry, you know it's especially important and equally difficult to showcase your skills to the best of your abilities and be fairly evaluated.

This couple, Monica and Paul, were amazing to work with.  They both lead busy lives working in NYC and enjoy every bit of free time they can spare.  You might even catch them at a 311 concert or at a football game! Aren't they such a gorgeous couple? Being together for several years, it was no surprise when they had a clear sense of style and knew what their priorities were. 

Number one priority? FUN!  They wanted a kick-as$ reception and boy is that what they got! There was non-stop dancing and laughter until the DJ had to announce that this was the last song. 

 Excerpt from their weddingwire.com review: 

"On our wedding, about 10 minutes before the ceremony was set to start, they really proved themselves when the skies decided to open up and give us a momentary downpour!! They jumped right into action and hurried all the guests inside, and kept us calm that this would just pass us by, which thankfully it did. Once the storm passed, Gabriela & Justin were great in getting everything rolling again, and the ceremony went off without a hitch!!!"

This was where Monica and Paul first saw each other on their wedding day.  They both walked towards each other, and, in her hand, is a can of Guinness beer! They actually had a "beer blending ceremony" during their nuptials!  If you see below, they made a "black and tan" blend using their choice of beverage. 

Everyone involved in this wedding did an absolutely amazing job. The photographers at Endless Wave Studios captured their special moments, the laughter, even the subtle moments worth a thousand words. 

The White Sands Resort along with the in-house Spa took care of the bridal party and especially the bride and groom. Everything that day went smoothly and everyone looked beautiful.

Oh, and did I mention they love the element of surprise?

There were fireworks planned to go off on their kiss and they also tricked everyone during their first dance by starting to slow dance and then the DJ switches it into "their" song, Round the world by Slightly Stoopid. Awesome!
