WEDDING VIBES
JP & Hannah’s Wedding at Revel Motor Row was romantic, funky and FIERCE! JP and Hannah met on the New York City Subway. Hannah gave JP her card, but he never called her! By chance they met again a year later and started to date. Talk about fate huh?!
WHAT MADE THIS WEDDING FIERCE
The Fiercest part of the wedding was when the couple reenacted how they met to the song “Call Me Maybe” in lieu of a first dance. We made sure to coordinate NYC subway sound effects like “doors closing” with DJ Toast and Jams. It got even Fiercer when their wedding party came in with GOLD LIGHT UP DANCE SHOES and performed a dance that we choreographed for them! We aren’t usually in the dance choreography business, but owner Laura is a performer and was able to put something simple and fun together for them. Can you see which photo shows them practicing the dance?
