Christina and Adrian are Married!!!

On a beautiful summer afternoon, under blue skies and surrounded by the lush greenery of a country club venue, our beautiful bride Christine & her groom Adrian professed their vows before family and friends gathered for this celebration of love. Nearly 200 guests were serenaded by the pianist and flutist who played on as the bride ascended the stairway toward the ceremony aisle.

After cocktail hour, the guests entered the main ballroom to take in the black and white, and purple décor of the ballroom. The live band kept the mood festive and guests' feet light as they played through the night. The couple was toasted by the maid of honor and best man and then took to the dance floor to show off their best moves. The bride and groom were beaming the entire night and didn't need any prodding from guests clicking glasses to keep planting kisses on each other.

Following dinner, the guests were literally given a treat as the back wall was opened to reveal the dessert room complete with flambé station and chocolate fountain. As the night came to a close, guests gathered their wine favors and boarded the shuttle to be ferried back to their rooms. The end of a perfect day.

Congratulations to our gorgeous couple Christina and Adrian!

Again, huge thank you to my team for making this event a total success.

I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night...

Leah & Arin were enveloped by more than 200 guests as they entered the Chuppah to pledge their love for each other, with Leah positively radiant and simply stunning!

The skies were blue and clear, the mood was festive, and the bride and groom were beaming. The two Rabbis conducted the traditional ceremony recognizing the signed Ketubah, the Sheva Brachot (seven blessings) and closing with a triumphant "Mazel Tov" as the glass was broken. The newlyweds recessed from the ceremony followed by their nineteen bridesmaids and groomsmen. Guests were encouraged to enjoy the ample cocktail hour fare both indoors and outside where they could enjoy the picturesque country club setting. For the reception, guests were treated to a lively band who never let the dance floor remain empty including during the horah, which the bride and groom survived smiling all the way.

Leah and Arin’s family and friends are some of the most wonderful and gracious people I have ever met. Thank you!

Congratulations Leah and Arin!!!

And to thank my team once more, I will reiterate a short note I received from Leah just the day after the wedding “Hi Danielle! Again we just wanted to thank you for everything yesterday. You guys were amazing and made our day so perfect and special! I cannot thank you enough!” -Leah and Arin

4th of July Fireworks!

In an intimate ceremony, stunning bride Collin said 'I Do' to her groom, Josh. The couple's closest family and friends traveled from near and as far away as India to New Jersey, to witness a truly gorgeous couple begin their lives together.

A mouth-watering cocktail hour was held on a garden terrace. Upon entry, guests were greeted with champagne glasses to complement the abundance of fresh seafood, cheeses, vegetables and sushi. Everyone strained for a peek at the reception until finally the glass doors opened for the big reveal.

The entire space was awash with beautiful magenta lighting, centerpieces of hot pink, yellow and green orchids seemed to explode in stunning contrast with the bronze-pink linen. Heartwarming speeches gave way to the open dance floor, and no one was left behind, as the DJ touched on hits from American and Indian artists! Only taking breaks for a delicious dinner, the night continued with laughter and energy until the very last seconds. The night came to a close with touching, spiritual song led by the elders of the family. The Dsilva wedding was a true picture of heart-felt sentiment, joy, and love.

Congratulations Collin and Josh!

To my wonderful team, I would be lost without you! Thank you for all your hard work.
And here is a short note from Josh and Collin "Thank you very much Danielle! Kudos to you and your team for making our day truly special! You were invaluable Danielle, and we couldn't have picked a better planner!! You guys rock!"

Double A Wedding!

Amanda and Anthony were married at a beautiful church in Tuckahoe, NY. After the ceremony, the gorgeous couple was whisked away to the reception hall to join their friends and family.

Upon entering the ballroom, guests were treated to a feast for the eyes, as the room was adorned rich purple tones, accented by beautiful bluish- purple hydrangeas, and lighting effects. Guests were able to sample a variety of mouth-watering entrees, as there seemed to have been an endless supply of food. Throughout the night, everyone could enjoy the montage of family photos of the bride and groom. The DJ kept just about all 200 guests on the dance floor, moving from one favorite song to another, as well as some traditional classics to celebrate the bride and groom’s Italian heritage.

If it were at all possible that someone was not full from dinner, guests could enjoy the bountiful dessert bar, complete with the wedding cake, multiple chocolate fountains, Italian ice, and variety of pastries to include cannoli, Napoleon, Tri-color cookies, zepollis, chocolate dipped strawberries, Tiramisu, and so on!

Congratulations Amanda and Anthony!

Thanks again to my À Votre Service Events™ family for a job well done.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Inside a glass conservatory, amid white peonies and pink roses, sweethearts Jen and Phil professed their love and sealed their wedding vows before family and guests. The stunning bride entered thru majestic double doors while the groom beamed from the altar. Etta James’ “At Last” was chosen as the couples’ first dance beginning a night of celebration.

The reception was anchored by a full 13-piece band that belted out the latest hits as well as beloved classics. The room shimmered in Swarovski crystals, complimented with luscious florals and topped by a wedding cake fit for royalty. Five tiers and draped in beautiful, edible flowers that you had to look closely to ensure that they weren’t the real thing. Guests made full use of the massive ballroom meandering from room to room enjoying the view, the professional cigar roller and the two dessert rooms full of treats.

At the end of the night, guests were chauffeured back to their rooms in a shuttle bus, while the bridal party enjoyed a stretch limousine. The bride and groom were treated to a Rolls Royce to launch them down lover’s lane together.

I must say “hello” to the phenomenal Keasha from TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress”, who was among the couple's guest list.

Congratulations to the lovely Jen and Phil!

To my team: I Thank you so so much!
