A Circular Jewish Ceremony Designed for Presence

The couple’s Jewish ceremony was beautifully designed in a circular seating arrangement — a thoughtful layout that allowed guests to feel fully present and intimately connected to the moment.

With florals by Bastille Flowers NYC, the ceremony space felt lush yet refined, enhancing the architectural drama of Cipriani Broadway 25 without overwhelming it.

The circular design created stunning photographic perspectives from every angle and emphasized the warmth and emotion of the ceremony.

Cocktail Hour Into a High-Energy Reception

As cocktail hour transitioned seamlessly into reception, the energy shifted from elegant to electric.

The live band from Cafe Wha Entertainment brought the room to life — including an unforgettable performance of Empire State of Mind, which had the entire crowd singing along in true New York fashion.

Custom lighting by Cipriani Events transformed the space as the evening unfolded, highlighting the architectural details while creating a vibrant party atmosphere.

Midway through the celebration, Amanda surprised guests with a wardrobe change — swapping her romantic Lazaro gown for a dazzling sequined party dress that shimmered under the lights. The transformation elevated the energy instantly and signaled that the party was just getting started.
