Cean and Gareth - New York Wedding

WE WENT TO NY!!!
I am so honored to say that I had a part of this amazing wedding! Along with one of the wedding industry's finest  Holly Chavez of HMC Event Solutions we had the extreme pleasure of planning this wedding for our very dear friends Cean and Gareth! This wedding was very special to us for many reasons but mostly because we saw this relationship bloom from the very start and it is truly one that will stand the test of time. The wedding ceremony and reception took place in New York on April 1, 2012 at The Dream Downtown in the Penthouse. What a stunning space!!!The staff was wonderful to work with every step of the way! We were greeted with mimosa's for the morning ceremony for a pre-ceremony cocktail hour where everyone mingled until it was time for the ceremony. Immediately after we had a lovely brunch and danced until the early evening. We concluded the festivities at the White Horse Tavern the very place where Gareth proposed to Cean the year before. We all had the time of our lives traveling, exploring a new city together, and celebrating the gift of love.  A huge thank you to Cean One Photography for these GORGEOUS photos! We are so excited to share this wedding with you, Enjoy!
