Party Recap...

We transformed a baron – but beautiful and clean – penthouse space and made it the perfect place for our 100 family and friends to gather for cocktails, candy, cupcakes, cake, ice cream and... great music on a fun summer’s night. The space had perfect 360 degree views of the New York City skyline and everyone had such a wonderful time celebrating our engagement. As you'll see from the event photos, we had fun dressing up the exposed bathtub and bathroom and seamlessly made the space flow. We created a warm and inviting atmosphere to mingle, with the beautiful city scape as our backdrop on a wonderful August evening that we’ll treasure forever.
