Joe & Jen's and Gina & Vinny's Weddings & more too!
Aug 06, 2009 10:00 AM Back
Been busy this week- in between my weddings for Joe & Jen and Gina & Vinny, I was asked to help out a fellow event planner and his amazing team to coordinate and set-up 'Super Saturday 12.' For those who don't know, this is a huge event in Water Mill (Hamptons) that has been dubbed a 'garage sale for celebrities.' The event benefits the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation and was truly fascinating.
We started setting up an empty field on Thursday, helped tents go into place, plotted out where the tables for vendors go (all the high-end designers) and literally watched it transform into a shoppers village. We even set up a special section for the kids- complete with their own carnival, and lounge area (which I personally had fun setting up).
Friday I was coordinating Jen & Joe's wedding in Lynbrook & the Bridgeview Yacht Club in Island Park. Jen was a Kellenberg graduate and her priest was her former teacher. I have to tell you that this was probably one of my most favorite ceremony's yet- it was so genuine and real and just beautiful. The reception at Bridgeview Yacht Club was great too. I had never been there before, but apparently they just did a load of renovations and it is beautiful inside. The staff was on top of things and our bride & groom were smiling the whole day.
Saturday I went to work the Super Saturday event. Highlights for me: helping QVC drape all of their tables. They ordered round mango tablecloths and didn't bring round tables w/ them... I told them I can fold the cloth into a runner, and drape/pleat it in the front and they loved it. I had 5-tables to decorate.
There were celebs everywhere- Kelly Ripa and her gorgeous hubby Mark, Lorraine Bracco, Rudy Guiliani, Barbara Walters, Blake Lively, Russell Simmons... plus more... Can't wait for next year!
Sunday I had Gina & Vinny's wedding at the Swan Club. Our beautiful bride & handsome groom decided to see each other before the ceremony & had a private reveal to make the most of their day- luckily the rain held out long enough for them to take pictures outside. The humidity was another factor and one of the ceremony room's at Swan Club is air conditioned. Gina really wanted an outdoor wedding, but the Pavillion room had a nice indoor/outdoor feel here and again the A/C made all of her dreams for being outside go away quickly. The staff at Swan Club was superb and they did a great job- Robert, Joseph, Evelyn- all on top of it and a pleasure to work with.
Now, I am prepping for Helena & Matt's beach wedding in Hampton Bays. Hopefully the rain will hold out so we can have our ceremony on the beach, with reception to follow at the Atlantica. I'll be back with my review of this wedding. Until then, happy planning!
