No Hurricane Could Stop Us!

Pink Monkey Events believes that come rain, sleet, sun or snow nothing can stop your special day from being everything you dreamed of! This wedding is proof of this philosophy given that this one took place during Hurricane Irene. To make matters worse, the wedding was set to be outdoors so this torrential weather had the potential to have a serious damper on the event but we would not have that! We improvised and used chic black umbrellas to provide coverage from the rain during the outdoor ceremony and luckily these impromptu accessories added a playful yet unique touch. As for the reception, we moved the location indoors and used sleek gunmetal linens and crisp white floral centerpieces to dress the tables. Warm amber lighting and an abundance of candles were also used to set an intimate vibe in the room. We incorporated a NYC theme in their table numbers and menus to personalize the event to the couple. Although the decor was sophisticated, the party was all about fun! The cocktail party even allowed guests to play a game of pool together which kicked off this event in a special way. Later, the reception was followed by an after-party that included more dancing and yummy fun snacks for the guest to enjoy. Nothing could rain on this parade! Special thanks to Catherine Leonard Photography who went above and beyond by taking the challenge of coming out in this weather truly making them a one-of-a-kind vendor!
