A Green Building Gem

When couples trust my recommendations and hire those who I consider to be my A-team, magic happens. This wedding from last year was packed with goodness and I am so thrilled to share their wedding images and the talent of some of my favorite New York City wedding professionals.

Congratulations to Leslie and Michael and thank you both for entrusting your day to my team and me and thanks to my colleagues for always going above and beyond when caring for our couples. The Newlyweds were thrilled and their guests had a fantastic time!

Sharon from SB Beauty does makeup beautifully, but more so she's a wonderful person to have on your team as you are primping. 

The couple's printed items were designed with care by Park Slope's favorite paper store:  Lion in the Sun. 

The flowers were designed lovingly by Gabrielle at G! Designs! 

The Green Building never gets old, especially when infused with love, laughter and lighting.

The barn tables, chairs and all rentals were from Broadway Party Rentals. 

Carissa Templeton officianted a heartfelt ceremony.

Betsy from Nine Cakes created this pi day original. 

This was one of the couple's favorites! They created their own ice cream flavors with some help from  MilkMade.

 

Guests were sent home with delicious chocolate from NuNu Chocolates.

A Valentine's Day Wish

Congratulations to all the couples who got engaged this weekend! We love proposal stories, so if you're inclined to share, please reach out to us.

My husband and I spend our first Valentine's Day as a married couple, coordinating the wedding of Soupany and Sam. Wish Upon a Wedding worked quickly to plan this urgent wish. The bride's oncologist, who happens to be a classically trained pianist surprised the couple by playing the piano during their ceremony. She said Soupany is on her 5th of 9 lives, living on borrowed time, a true fighter. The bride's case manager lent her the fur coat in this picture, which was the perfect, something borrowed, as the snow began to fall just as the photos were wrapping up. The bride's gown was donated by one of her nurses. It was a gown that her daughter ended up not wearing, it was beautiful and other than being a little long, fit amazingly well.  The ceremony was performed by a palliative care chaplain from the hospital.  The reality of the situation was clear by the generosity and sentiment of everyone involved and despite a few challenges, I am happy to report the wedding was wonderful and enjoyed by all who witnessed this devoted duo exchange vows.

The organization's Urgent Wish, is a new concept, designed to plan weddings in hospitals, hospice or a residence, but because there was a connection to the sweet chapel at Endicott College, the couple's wedding took place at this charming venue, which was the perfect backdrop to their sweet little celebration. The beautiful pink, red and white bouquets and boutonniere were created by Jeri Solomon Floral Designs, a color combo which subtly acknowledged Valentine's Day and breast cancer. As the wedding was literally planned in 11 days, there wasn't alot of time for me to get to know the couple, but the one thing the bride requested was a white cake with strawberries and cream inside, and I am so happy that Jenny's Wedding Cakes was able to provide just that. Our bride devoured three slices and asked if she could take any remaining cake home! So major thanks to Jenny for making the bride's cake vision a reality and for providing so much, we were able to feed everyone and send the whole top tier home with the bride. What a sweet reminder for days to come. Shawn Black Photography was great to have on board, I am so excited to share more of his stunning images from our winter wish!

Lastly, I'd like to thank Rick, my love, who helps me daily in infinite ways, but it was especially nice to have him by my side on Valentine's Day supporting me in this labor of love.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with love and goodness.

xo,
Tammy

The Bell House in Brooklyn

Thanks to Robin and Elann for entrusting the coordination of their wedding day to us. It was a pleasure to see all the careful planning and their creativity come to life at The Bell House in Brooklyn! 

Robin got ready at her family home, the front door coordinated with her color scheme nicely and was a perfect backdrop for her dress.

The bridal party was all men, on both sides.

 They all looked dapper and were accommanied by the bride and groom's best friends.

The couple has many rescue dogs. They all dressed for the occasion and participated in the ceremony.

This is was the couples modern and creative nod to a traditional ketubah.

Naked Cake. Have you tried the cakes from Momofuko, this one had a nutela layer,  doesn't this looks incredibly decadent.

The groom was known to make frequent audio recordings of friends and family. One of his dear friends had a device and made a point to get every wedding guest to record a wedding day wish or personal message.


It was a great day make better by the couple's cool friends and family and of course their wedding vendors.

It was fun returning to The Bell House. We really appreciate how helpful and accommodating their team is. 

Thanks to Chef Rossi and Charmaine from The Raging Skillet. Their food was delicious.

The flowers were by The Little Glass Slipper.

Again the cake was baked by The Milk Bar.

Partial planning and month of coordination by Tammy Golson Events. 


This couple was so much fun, here's what the groom wrote about us afterwards in a lengthy facebook recap of this wedding:

"Tammy Golson, our wedding planner, just plain kicked ass. She and her assistant Talia Oren were on top of everything on the day of and Tammy's attention to detail as the day approached was unmatched. From the minute she started with us she was magnificent at not leaving anything out. She had the hardest job of anyone and she truly is a consummate professional."

Intimate Wedding in Central Park

I have had the opportunity to help many international couples plan and coordinate their weddings in Central Park from abroad. Thanks to Reverend Annie this was an extra special wedding! She introduced me to Joanne and Kevin early on allowing me to take a larger role in the wedding planning.

These stunning hot pick peonies were the perfect pop of color, provided by the always fabulous G! Designs.

The couple's daughter=darling!

The ceremony was at Wagner's Cove in Central Park. 

The ceremony was performed by the lovely Reverend Annie.

After the ceremony, the small group from Ireland headed to The Central Park Boat House to enjoy- one of my favorite things to do in New York City- a gondola ride.  There is only one gondola in New York and it was a gift from Italy. Both gondoliers are charming, but one is a great singer of Italian music which makes the experience extraordinary. It's a bargain, but I do recommend a reservation, especially if you're wanting a ride on the weekend or at sunset.

Joanne and Kevin's guests were treated to amazing views of the city skyline at sunset during cocktail hour on the terrace at Water's Edge Restaurant in Long Island City. Everyone moved inside for dinner.  The wedding cupcakes were provided by Haute So Sweet and their menus and place cards were designed by Ana Dolan.

Thanks to Heartfelt Foto for the gorgeous photos of a truly wonderful wedding.

Congratulations to Joanne and Kevin and thank you for allowing me to have a hand in the festivities.
