Hi Anna, I just love you wedding pictures and the description of your ceremony and reception – it all sounds so wonderful. I went to visit Smack Mellon today and loved the space. The one question that I had was what the deal was with the wine and beer. We live in Brooklyn and also want to support local vendors, but we also are trying to watch our costs. Were you able to buy the wine from red white and bubbly yourselves and bring it to the location and have the staff serve it or was that something that the caterer organized. We’d like to take our own to Smack Mellon. I’m only just starting out looking for venues so I have no idea how this all works. Any advice would be appreciated. Congratulations and thanks for sharing the pics – like I said, it honestly looks and sounds like it was amazing.

Brides, friends, and family who are looking to shop for their own and/or their friends’ weddings, here is a great idea…Complete your place settings and table top registry while donating to charity!

God’s Love We Deliver will receive 10% of all Bloomingdale’s Table Top sales on Wednesday March 18th (in the 59th Street store).

In addition, please stop by and participate in the silent auction by bidding on one of the Wedgewood designer table top displays. Celebrating the 250th anniversary of Wedgewood, Bloomingdale’s will be displaying place settings from: Vera Wang, Jasper Conran, Barbara Barry, Lord Wedgwood, Monique Lhuillier, Tricia Foley, and Charolette Moss.

Hi Jessica,
As I mentioned above, this is THE biggest reason you need a “day-of-coordinator” at this space. The transition was seamless – the chairs were in two colums facing the “alter” – the tables were off to the sides of the room, along the windows and white wall. Buffets were set up along the front, sides and back of the room, as well as two bars – but they were completely covered during the ceremony. We only had passed sparkling water available during the ceremony. After the ceremony was over and we exited, the food was brought up/uncovered and the passed hors d’ouevers came out immdiately and the bars opened. During this time, the chairs were slid into place at the tables, guests gathered their seating cards and made themselves at home! When we came back in – about 10 minutes later – the music was going and the cocktail hour was in full swing and the dance floor was open. If you’d like more details or photos, please email me and I’d be happy to help. It was the most beautiful space – congats to you!

Congrats Anna and Liberty!

My fiance and I are planning a wedding this year at Smack Mellon and have been trying to figure out the best way to do both the ceremony and reception within the same space. Can you share how you were able to pull it off or perhaps you have photos?
