Love Story

Lauren and Matt's love tale began with a fateful swipe on a dating app. Fast forward six years, filled with love and laughter, and these two were destined for forever.

The proposal? “Matt proposed at the DeBruce in NY. It had just snowed, so we had a perfect backdrop. I was not expecting it,” recalls Lauren.

Lauren and Matt, a dynamic New York duo, tied the knot after a year of planning. Their wedding at Valley Rock Inn was attended by 200 friends and family, echoing their dream of a European-style outdoor celebration.

The wedding day kicked off with personalized invitations and carefully chosen wedding rings. The morning was abuzz with excitement, setting the stage for the day’s events with elegant stationery and special jewelry.

Wedding Venue & Decor

The Valley Rock Inn, chosen for its European charm, was adorned in neutral tones. “We wanted something outside that felt like Europe but without actually being in Europe. It was hard to find in the NY area, but we found the perfect place after looking at many venues,” shares the couple.

Every detail, from the colors to the personalized items, reflected Lauren and Matt's vision for their special day.

Reception

The reception was a celebration of love, highlighted by their first dance to Taylor Swift's "Lover." The evening was filled with joy, dancing, and positive experiences with their wedding vendors.
