We are in love with Chess & Peter’s wedding day. We were so pumped to be working with them, their energy levels and cuteness were off the charts! The entire day was just about their relationship and being surrounded by all their favorite people. You can’t help but to smile right alongside them! Chess & Peter chose the Ravel Hotel right next door as the spot to prep for their big day. Chessia chose very springy flowers and succulents from xylem + Phloem to match her pale pinks and greens theme. She put on her gown with help from her mom and bridesmaids, all wearing dresses of their choice. Even the giggling flower girls helped too, in their ballerina attire. Peter got ready in the room right above with his men, toasting and having a good time. Once they were both ready, we took Peter up to the rooftop terrace for the first look. They had a sweet moment together and practiced their first dance before heading downstairs to gather everyone. We hopped over to The Foundry greenhouse for family formals, bridal party and then onto the Gantry Plaza Park for some pretty epic couple portraits. All of the guests had arrived back at the Foundry so we ushered Chessia up to the mezzanine level to wait with her dad before walking down the aisle for a very touching ceremony, some wiping their eyes. After that it was a fun party lasting well into the night including lots of dancing, toasts, really delicious food served by Real Food Catering and amazing tunes by the Les Loups DJ who kept everyone on the dance floor until the very end of the night! Once they walked through their sparkler exit, Chess & Peter led their party back to the Ravel Hotel rooftop for an after party to cap their day. Everything would not have been possible without the planning expertise of Jose Rolon events and day of coordination from Viva Max events!
