What can be more exciting than a Hollywood themed wedding? A Hollywood themed and New Year’s Eve wedding! Dorothy and Ken definitely know how to throw a party! A couple months before the big day, I received a red cardboard mailing tube in the mail. Completely intrigued, I opened it quickly to find their invitation. This wasn’t an ordinary invitation. It was a movie banner!
They started off their wedding day getting ready at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia. Dorothy made me laugh the entire time she was getting ready. She said Ken made her get Jimmy Choo shoes for her wedding day! Who needs to be forced into that? And they looked so amazing with her dress!
The ceremony took place at the very ornate and beautiful Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Philadelphia. We had a wonderful time working with Drew Noel Photography, who always does such incredible work.
The reception took place at Hill Theater Studio in Paulsboro, New Jersey, where they had Hollywood spotlights illuminating the sky, along with paparazzi and a red carpet! This theater was significant to Ken because his grandparents had met at that movie theater many years ago. This fun couple also had a Joan Rivers impersonator who did a comedy act during the reception as well as a Cher impersonator who performed! It was so entertaining!
Dorothy and Ken wanted more than anything for their guests to have a great time. Everyone enjoyed themselves while The Franklin and Alison Band played their hearts out, and they celebrated the New Year together before saying goodnight! Congrats!
