Back at ABOVE, Jennifer and also Jackie, my bridal attendant, brought us up to the bridal suite. We finally had a moment to ourselves, and Jackie and Jennifer made sure we had all the cocktail hour food options to eat in the bridal suite, including Cacio E Pepe pizza, truffle mac and cheese, short rib, BBQ demi with a creamy polenta, and calamari. Our guests still talk about how amazing the food was. When we were done eating, we were taken up to the ballroom and were speechless to see how amazing it came out.
Jennifer ensured the room was just the way we envisioned it. Our flowers and centerpieces were a mix of high and low centerpieces filled with different colored roses, hydrangeas, and greenery, surrounded by candles. We had two gorgeous arrangements on either side of our sweetheart table, along with flowers on top of the table. The uplighting from the DJ, accompanied by the candle light and lighting by the Swarovski bulbs above us, created the perfect ambiance. Our DJ had our monogram on the marble wall behind our guests and our MC made sure everyone was up on the dance floor. The best part of the night was when they played the Tarantella, encouraging Dom’s big Italian family and my big Irish family to dance together. Jackie was by my side all night, making sure I had water, wine, dinner, and anything that I asked for! I mentioned the truffle mac and cheese was my favorite, and she sweetly put aside an entire container for me. Tom, our maître d’, made sure both our parents and the bridal party were taken care of.
