What a fun celebration this was! Lola and Jack had known each other for years since meeting at Oberlin College. They dated and were in each others’ romantic orbit for 11 years before they decided to make the commitment to be together. In that time, they amassed an incredible community of friends, exes, family members, pets, and more - all of whom would be present at their celebration in some form or fashion…
Lola and Jack came to Together Events after securing all of their vendors, including an existing Planning team! But they were feeling unheard and unseen by their existing planning partner and were looking for a team who understood their values and matched their game-for-anything vibe, which they found with Maryam and the Together Events Team.
Having been legally married months before, their focus was on creating a delicious dinner experience followed by a hot dance party with all their favorite people.
Maryam worked with Lola and Jack over several months, helping them with their Coordination as well as bringing on Mackenzie from the Together Events team to help find them their perfect Rehearsal Dinner location (Baba Cool in Williamsburg).
How it all shook out was a disco-ball dance party, with exes names as table numbers, and incredibly heartwarming and hilarious speeches throughout the evening! Happy Anniversary you two - and congratulations on the birth of your first baby!
