Exactly 1 year ago I was so honored to be asked by Preston Bailey to speak at his PB live conference. Who would have thought that it would be just about the last time for many of the industry greats to get together. Can’t wait for the event industry to pick up and create magic again.

Ceremonies and dinners with wow and flowers. Small and intimate certainly does not have to be without the jaw dropping decor. Leave it to @prestonrbailey to create environments to remember. Guests can be transported to a different world with these incredible tableaux. These here were created for Preston’s PB Live, where he shares his experience. @thelegacycastle

Maier Family 39 - Home Gym. We are in year 21 of our family series. We have taken 2 whacky family portraits every year for the first 18 years and are now down to once/year. We pick a theme and try to find a fun and exaggerated way to portray it with props, sets, costumes. In trying to hint at the pandemic year without resorting to the obvious face masks, the home gym is what we came up with. As always, thanks to @sylviamaiernyc and the kids (well, young adults now) for still playing along and for reluctantly putting on extra tight leotards, it's asking a lot - i know...
You can see the full series on my website - link in bio.

For over 15 years, we have hosted a dinner with friends in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It has been and always is our favorite get-together, and an occasion to reflect on our shared humanity, civil rights, and progress however slow. Every guest picks a MLK quote and we take turns reading them out loud before dinner.
We will miss our friends this year and will have a mini version with just our kids.

Party from above a litte while ago. Look at this amazing setup with a ceremony tent off to the side and a party tent right on the beach. All of this set up from scratch on an empty lot. Norma Cohen Spectacular.

Look at this amazing and original spiral ceremony setup. The bride and groom get to walk by each and every guest on their way in and out of the ceremony. Cocktail hour set up is right alongside. I will miss all the wonderful and original small outdoor weddings for a few months going into the cold season.
I love shooting aerial images whenever the weather plays along.

Jump into the pool at the end of the wedding in the “Just married” bathing suit. One of the fun things that happen this year as the weddings get smaller and parent’s backyards become the venue.

Details are so important. Even and maybe especially for mini weddings. Check out more in depth video at @stillwelleventsnyc about or collaboration on The Hybrid

We set the stage at the Lavan 541 entrance with a whimsical balloon garland by @balloondesignstudio.
The circular dance floor, designed by @cecinewyork and executed by @gotoshout, was the focal point for the ceremony and border for the reception tablescape. The logo in gold was at the center, surrounded by peonies spaced 5.5 feet apart, artfully cueing the guests to socially distance.
We wove @Cecinewyork’s peony design throughout many of the details, including the couture tablecloth by @nuagedesignsinc.
@adamleffelproductions used blush dutch peonies for the bouquet and tablescape. One long table was modestly adorned with lush florals and modern glass candelabras with accents of floating candles in alternating heights. Omega chairs from @somethingdifferentpartyrental completed the oeuvre.

Passed and stationary canapés were served in individual covered domes, and the dinner was served in a covered box, with a beautiful peony design by @cecinewyork. This concept allowed us to drastically cut down on the number of staff that came in contact with the food, ensuring safety without compromising on service. We also chose to forego a traditional wedding cake for the safety of guests, instead choosing to include a sumptuous blueberry lemon meringue tart inside the guests' dinner box.
We included virtual guests in the festivities with a special surprise box of their own. The week before the ceremony, each guest received a wrapped gift box containing the beautiful wedding program, a mouthwatering mini wedding cake from @everythinglulu, and mini bottles of bubbly so that they could participate in toasting Madeline & David.

You want your A/V professionals to anticipate what can go wrong and have all of the contingencies covered. @totalentertainmentnyc worked with each virtual guest individually to ensure that all of them would be able to participate. In order to allow guests to feel like they were in the room, and have a front-row seat, @josephedwardsfilms, who captured the event on film, shot the entire event from two camera angles.
One of the incredibly special things about Lavan541 it has 270-degree projection mapping capabilities, so it is a space that's designed to be transformed. You are only limited by your imagination, and your in-person guests get to share in the virtual reality journey. Total Entertainment developed, mastered, and innovated to produce this immersive event.

My favorite “models”! Even when it’s a planned shoot, we can still get genuine moments!
This event began as a styled shoot. I asked Madeline and David, @maddyfauntleroy @doughertyjr colleagues in the event industry, to be my "models." Like many 2020 couples, Madeline and David had their wedding postponed from March to October. As the date approached and the pieces came together, they became more and more enamored of what we were doing, and decided to make the June "shoot" their actual wedding.
Head over to @stillwelleventsnyc for a great video about the hybrid.
Over the next few days, we will be sharing more of Madeline and David's wedding, the inaugural 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒚𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 celebration. We will be spotlighting the exceptional team of vendors that made this unique, magical night possible, as well as the incredible venue that provided the blank canvas we needed to orchestrate our vision.
