Our Latest Work
Remember when the 20’s were roaring? We can’t stop thinking about this 1920’s-themed party we threw at Cipriani 42nd St. From the plumes and palms to the flapper dancers and massive balloon drop, it was an affair that would’ve impressed Jay Gatsby himself. Thinking we might need to do a post-pandemic reprise when the 20’s are roaring once again…

Reminiscing on this beautiful winter wedding!
The venue was like a snow globe; the grooms and their guests enjoyed views of the magical winter wonderland from the warmth of the glass structure. We suspended antler chandeliers from the ceiling and placed natural foliage throughout the room to tie together our snowy paradise. As the night went on, the cocktail area on the terrace—complete with fire-pits and fur throws—hosted an epic s’more spread, and the dance party began. Many special touches throughout the night, including a snowy confetti cannon and cozy socks by the dance floor, ensured this would be a celebration the grooms and their guests never forget.
Throwback to this romantic Hamptons wedding at Wölffer Estate Vineyard!
The Vineyard’s pond served as the backdrop to the ceremony, where swans made their appearance—as if on cue—at the moment of the wedding kiss. We arranged loose vines and white blooms as they would appear in nature, and we accented the already lush landscape with flowering plants along the path to the dinner tent.
For the dinner space, we styled table shapes, linens, silverware, candles, and chairs in four variations, suggestive of harmonious, intimate dining rooms. CCL’s F.O.O.D. Inc. catered the food with Chef Alfred Portale of New York’s Gotham Bar & Grill. We amazed every guest with exquisite selections and attentive service.
The band rocked the night away, while a live artist captured the ambiance of the party with a custom painting created over the course of the evening. #itsallinthedetails
Once upon a pre-COVID time, a chic NYC couple jetted to Playa del Carmen to tie the knot with 75 of their closest friends in tow.
The destination celebration began with a welcome fiesta under the stars. To play to the lively atmosphere, we designed whimsical tables with lush blush florals, turquoise plateware, and alternating bright pink and celadon napkins. Guests enjoyed traditional Mexican dishes prepared in an open kitchen and served family-style while they were serenaded by a local Mexican trio.
The ceremony took place on a wooden deck on the beach with the bright blue Caribbean water as the backdrop. Guests enjoyed cocktails overlooking the beach as the sun set and the candles came alive. The celebration transitioned to the giant palapa for dinner and dancing, then moved to the beach for a late-night party beneath the swaying palm trees. Fire dancers and several rounds of Colin’s signature 120mph shots lit up the night and kept the celebrations going ‘til the early morning!
Great taste never goes out of style! Who did it first? Colin or Oprah? Swipe to find out!
A December to remember! Throwback to this incredible holiday soirée at the Russian Tea Room for @one. No detail was left behind—swipe to see the ballerinas, stilt-walkers, aerialists, the 12’ ice sculpture, and the life-sized snow globe!
Happy holidays to all! Stay safe. 🤍
Reminiscing on this beautiful Southampton wedding!
In the heat of the Hamptons summer sun, guests kept cool beneath an elegant ceremony tent that looked out upon the vista of Duck Walk Vineyard. Earthy elements accented the serpentine aisle and let the couple’s love for each other be the mainstay for the room.
After the ceremony, guests made their way through the vineyard by hundreds of candles hidden within the vines towards a crescendo of light at the center of the cocktail patio. As the night drew on, natural lighting built into dramatic hues paving the way for the ultimate dance party…

The evening portion of this spectacular wedding took place in Jaigarh Fort in the mountains just outside of Jaipur.
Guests entered through a dramatic series of arches—lined with fire and pairs of drummers—for a big welcome moment and an unforgettable first impression.
This was only the first of many WOW moments throughout the evening…
From the stilt walkers to the Bollywood-styled Sangeet and the massive kinetic dragon, extraordinary entertainment surprised guests from start to finish.

We’re approaching the 3rd year anniversary of this SPECTACULAR Jaipur wedding!
Our client commissioned us to create an Anglo Indian-inspired colonial luncheon at their home in the center of Jaipur, India. Guests entered into a celadon green and white striped entry marquee and then walked through a series of boxed arches to the Gin Tent, luncheon and English afternoon tea.
Every fabric, cushion, piece of furniture and architectural detailing was custom-made for the occasion.
The secret garden boasted a photo booth, massage station, fortune tellers and a glam bar!
Even with an event of this scale, no detail is ever left behind.
Stay tuned for content from the evening portion of the celebration…

Throwback to this spectacular wedding at Amangiri last year.

A close-up of our glamorous and sultry burgundy tablescape... 🥂
The reflection of hundreds of candles atop the sprawling tables illuminated the dinnerscape with a warm golden glow, taking the romance and enchantment of the atmosphere to the next level.
The deep violet florals suspended from the ceiling created the illusion of storm clouds—and in juxtaposition with the opulent chandeliers and gilded crown molding—transformed the room into the most dazzling dinner space for our fabulous bride and groom.
This glorious wedding dinner was one I’ll never forget. Massive chandeliers, sprawling tables, and hundreds of candles took this uber-glamorous dinner look #aboveandbeyond.
