Sage and Loren’s wedding was a true celebration of creativity, community, and love. Planned in just six months with Taylored Events & Co.'s Partial Planning + Design package, their big day was packed with personal touches and unexpected details that made it one of the most memorable weddings we’ve ever planned. The entire day was captured perfectly by Ruby Olivia, whose candid, artful photos brought every colorful and emotional moment to life.

The Ceremony

The ceremony and cocktail hour took place at the industrial-chic Sound River Studios, transformed into a whimsical, retro-inspired dreamscape. Picture flowing chiffon draping, a custom circular stage as the ceremony backdrop, all perfectly executed by Gala Productions. Guests sat on clear chiavari chairs, surrounded by bright pops of red and white florals, as a live string quartet, lead by Vlad Hontila, set the tone for the ceremony.

In a unique and touching moment, Sage and Loren chose to walk down the aisle hand in hand, just the two of them, making their entrance as a united pair. Their close friend officiated the ceremony, bringing warmth and personal touches that made the moment feel intimate, sweet, and truly special. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as the couple stood together to say their vows.

Sage’s look was equally show-stopping. She wore a custom two-piece wedding ensemble designed by her talented friend, Leila Plouffe. The structured corset top paired with a crinkled, high-shine metallic skirt—modern, bold, and unforgettable. Her simple bouquet of white calla lilies and roses added just the right classic touch to balance the fashion-forward aesthetic.

COCKTAIL HOUR

Cocktail hour took full advantage of the studio’s waterfront views, enjoying the sunny, warm October afternoon. Guests sipped Negronis from silver fountains that shimmered in the sun, adding a playful yet elevated feel to the experience. Sculptural ice installations by Ice Miracles, and vintage inspired glassware completed the moment. Inside, artful grazing tables overflowed with delicious spreads of cheeses, fruits, and bites by AD Catering & Events — all styled alongside funky, vibrant floral arrangements, by Grace Hildreth, that added pops of color to every corner. The laid-back, celebratory vibe set the perfect tone for the evening ahead.

the reception

After cocktail hour, guests hopped on busses and headed to Gottscheer Hall—a retro Queens beer hall full of old-school charm that set the perfect backdrop for an epic reception. Tables were dressed in silky ivory tablecloths from Broadway Party Rentals, with the head table stealing the spotlight thanks to swooping drapery, lush florals, and gold candelabras by Grace Hildreth, paired with handcrafted ceramic vases made by the couple’s close friend, Ori Carlin.

We mixed vintage vibes with modern moments: an old-school photobooth by Majestic Photobooth for candid fun, creative ice sculptures that doubled as art, and family-style Mediterranean food made by family friend Gila Carlin. A show-stopping four-tiered vintage-inspired cake, crafted with love by friend Kendall Smith, added the perfect nostalgic touch to the reception.

As the night went on, the dance floor came alive under a disco ball, with sounds from one of NYC’s best DJs, Ivan Berko, keeping guests dancing all night long.
