Jessie and Logan quickly became friends during their sophomore year back at their university. They shared a business class, and some mutual friends who helped bring them together. After countless hours studying together (but really just having a ton of fun and laughs!), Logan 'made his move' and their relationship began to evolve into something more. Love. The rest, as they say, is history!
And the next page in the history of Jessie and Logan is their wonderful wedding day! The couple decided to have an all-in-one wedding, with everything taking place at the beautiful Crystal Plaza in Livingston, New Jersey. And we were so thrilled that the photographer for this fabulous day was Drew Noel and team.
Jessie and Logan both got dressed and ready for their day at Crystal Plaza. And the fun and excitement of the day started right with their morning preparations! Jessie had so much fun with her bridesmaids as they continued to get ready in the pj's, dancing and singing together! Her bridal party dressed into their long chic black gowns after hair and makeup were completed. Then, Jessie dressed into her gorgeous strapless wedding gown. It had a beautiful ball gown silhouette and delicate, shimmering floral lace appliques throughout. So lovely!
Back in The Vault, the groom's suite at Crystal Plaza for those morning preparations, the guys relaxed, had a drink and practiced their golf swings before dressing into their tuxedos. The groomsmen all wore matching classic black suits while Logan dressed into his navy blue tux for the day's events. And didn't they all look so handsome!
It was such a sweet moment as Jessie's father had his first look at his daughter in her gown on her wedding day. And before the start of their ceremony, Jessie and Logan shared a first look outside at their venue. Both were so close to tears when they saw each other for the first time that day. Then, it was the perfect time for Drew's team to take some more photos before the wedding ceremony was set to begin.
The couple held their wonderful wedding ceremony onsite at Crystal Plaza. Jessica entered at the back of the room and joined her parents as they walked her down the aisle. Tears were flowing all around! Their ceremony, held under a chuppah overflowing with white blooms, included wonderful Jewish traditions, such as the bride and groom circling each other three times, and concluded with the traditional breaking of the glass.
Jessie and Logan's reception kicked off after everyone moved to the gorgeous ballroom. Crystal Plaza's ballroom was filled with amazing, tall white floral centerpieces and decor from Evention, Inc. After the introductions were made, Jessie and Logan had their beautiful first dance and the exciting Hora afterwards! We always love how much fun this is! Then, the Motzi and Kiddush blessings were recited by their grandparents and aunts and uncles before dinner was to be served.
Such beautiful (and funny!) toasts were given next by Jessie's father, by her sister and maid of honor and from Logan's two best men and brothers. We loved the stories told about their lives as they grew up and as they matured. Again, there were many tears!
Then it was time to party! The Dylan Matthews Band from Hank Lane Music kept everyone out on the dance floor all night... and wow was that floor packed! You could see just how much fun all of their guests had that evening. And a huge kudos to Sarah Prinz at Honeycomb + Prince for planning and organizing such an amazing event.
Congratulations to Jessie and Logan! To echo the words of Jessie's sister, "Cheers to you today and always." Mazel Tov!
