Battery Gardens

Another amazing garden wedding this summer was at Battery Gardens in Lower Manhattan. Tucked away at the tip of Battery Park, Battery Gardens is a fresh taste of country in the city.

Our bride and groom were a power couple with incredibly busy careers and had a refreshing relaxed attitude in their approach to their nuptuals. Perfectly matched to the location. Sophisticated but chill.

For prelude music as guests entered we had harp amidst the flowers.

As guests came upstairs to enjoy the panaramic view of NY Harbor our "Silhouette" quartet played romantic classical music and for the processional we performed the following:

I Can't Help Falling in Love - Groom and Bridal Party

Simple Gifts by Aaron Copeland from Appalachian Spring - Flower Girls

All I Want Is You by U2 - Bride

 Viva La Vida - Recessional

 

Lauren, Hannah, K8 and Ariana

Lauren looked perfectly etherial against the window with the light pooring in.

 

Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

Continuing our garden series of events, we did an electic ceremony this summer for an uber-hip international couple from Brazil and London at The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. The weather was picture perfect and we set up our 8 peice group under the trees beside an open field.

This groovy couple chose "As My Love Is For You" by FIVE DAY WEEK STRAW PEOPLE for the groom and bridal party, "Over the Rainbow" Jason Castro version for the children and "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver for the bride. We performed our rendition of this repertoire with string quartet, piano, acoustic guitar, percussion and vocal.

The recessional was an upbeat, foot-stomping version of Ray Charles' "Halleulujah, I Just Love Her So."

Once again, huge hugs to Jung Lee & Josh Brooks at Fête for bringing us in on this groovy collaboration!
