In an intimate and simple ceremony, Peter & Greer got married in a museum gallery in Greenwich, Connecticut, with 15 people in the room: immediate family, a few close friends, and the people who knew them best and had watched this relationship grow from the beginning. Greer is Jewish, and Peter is not, and together they wanted a ceremony that honored her tradition while feeling welcoming and meaningful to everyone present.

Jane and Simon were married on New Year’s Eve, a date that already held a special place in their story. They had met on New Year’s Eve years ago. A few years after that, they got engaged on the same night. By the time we began planning the wedding, it was clear that December 31 was more than just a date, but the thread that ran through their relationship right from the start.

While some wedding venues feel like a blank canvas waiting to be transformed, the TWA Hotel at JFK stands out with its sweeping curves, mid-century design, and view of the runways, making it a truly unique location. When Jackie and Sal chose that space for their wedding, they wanted something modern and alive, but also deeply personal. And that is exactly what they created!

When planning a Jewish ceremony, understanding the order and significance of each element is crucial. These ceremonies are not simply a list of prayers or blessings to check off of a program. Instead, they represent a journey, weaving an arc that stretches from the past, through the present, into the future. This journey is part of what we call in Hebrew “hashalshelet ha-kabbalah”, the chain of tradition.
