Emily & Jason’s story starts in all the ways us hopeless romantics dream of: in New York City at a mutual friend’s party on the Upper West Side. Turns out, they discovered that in all of Manhattan, they actually worked in the SAME building just ONE floor apart. Talk about fate. They scheduled a coffee date, and as they say, the rest was history. Fast-forward five and a half years and they are now living blocks from where we first met with their rescue cat, Mila.

They wanted a “classic, classy, and elegant, sophisticated but still contemporary and fun” wedding and Calamigos Ranch’s Oak Room checked all the boxes. Being huge fans of autumn colors, we think they incorporated just the right touch to achieve their classy, fall vibe. Their guests enjoyed French 75s while snacking on macaroni and cheese balls before dancing the night away to a live band. It was truly an event to remember. Congrats Emily & Jason!!
