It was HOT HOT HOT at Chacala NY!



For a very urban couple, it was a very sophisticaged urban wedding setting - Chacala NY, a trendy cool party space just south of Canal Street on Broadway. The ceremony began with the procession of their rather large wedding party...who formed a horseshoe shaped backdrop for the Devin and Natalie who stood with me in the center.

Afternoon sun beamed in on the couple...and it was hot...sweaty hot for us all. But their love story was told, vows were declared, and rings exchanged. The groom wrote to me, "Everyone thought you were a hit, and your ceremony was one of the brightest moments of our wedding."

I was intrigued by the pictures their photographer set up in the alley behind Chacala NY.




Ceremony Tip: Natalie and Devin's love story, a 2-3 minute portion of the ceremony, had humor and detail about their romance. For some couples, the thought of having their love story told is daunting. But the response to this ceremony from the family and other guests is one piece of proof that this is an aspect of a celebrant-officiated ceremony that really makes the day unique and memorable.

Julie Laudicina,Celebrant!
