First Wedding Ceremony at the NYPL


Avery and Will consciously chose to be surrounded by books and immortal words for their wedding ceremony...as symbolic of the seriousness of declaring their marriage vows. So, appropriately, the setting was the third floor rotunda of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street.

The music was devine...thank you, Steven and La Belle Musique, Inc. The florist created arrangements that were in scale for this grand venue...and with a subtle, elegant color palate. The entire design of the wedding celebration, it's execution with a very high degree of professionalism, and ultimate magic all around was husbanded (nice word for a wedding blog, no?) by Francesca, of Francesca Events.



The NYPL staff member who heads their special events department told me this was the first wedding ceremony at the main library. Note that a major requirement of weddings held at the NYPL is that the ceremony be exclusively a civil one...no religious references or rituals.
