Getting Ready at Brae Burn Country Club
The morning of Sari and Matt’s wedding began with excitement and heartfelt moments at Brae Burn, a stunning New York country club. Sari, surrounded by her bridesmaids, enjoyed a relaxed yet joyful start to the day filled with laughter, glasses of champagne, and the perfect amount of pampering. Her glam team created a radiant, natural look that highlighted her glowing smile, while her elegant waves added timeless sophistication.
Her gown was the epitome of modern elegance—a sleek, strapless design with a fitted bodice and a softly flowing train that exuded effortless sophistication. The custom hanger, reading “Mrs. Hammer,” was a sweet touch that set the tone for the day. Her bridesmaids were equally stunning in chic black dresses, each styled uniquely to let their individual personalities shine. Their vibrant bouquets—filled with pops of blush pink, coral, and peach—added a romantic touch, tying in beautifully with the wedding’s timeless spring aesthetic.
Meanwhile, Matt and his groomsmen embraced the camaraderie of the day while getting ready at the club. The classic black-tie attire perfectly complemented the formal vibe of the wedding, with Matt standing out in his sharp tuxedo and timeless black bow tie. A quiet moment with his groomsmen, complete with a toast at the bar, was the perfect way for Matt to kick off the day.
The excitement and joy in the air were palpable as everyone prepared for the celebration ahead at this elegant New York country club, setting the stage for a wedding that would be as timeless and sophisticated as the couple themselves.
A Heartfelt First Look at a New York Country Club Wedding
Sari and Matt’s first look at Brae Burn Country Club was a moment filled with pure emotion and joy. With the picturesque greenery of the New York country club as their backdrop, Sari gently tapped Matt on the shoulder, and as he turned, his face lit up with awe at the sight of his beautiful bride. Sari’s sleek gown and radiant smile perfectly complemented Matt’s classic black tuxedo, creating a picture-perfect moment. This intimate exchange allowed them to share a quiet connection before the festivities began, setting the tone for their unforgettable day.
A Meaningful Ketubah Signing Before the Ceremony
Before the ceremony, Sari and Matt shared an intimate and meaningful moment during the signing of the Ketubah, a traditional Jewish marriage contract. This beautifully crafted document, with its intricate floral design, not only symbolized their union but also their mutual promises to one another as they began this new chapter.
A Romantic Ceremony at a New York Country Club
Once signed, it was time for the ceremony. Sari and Matt’s ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking, blending timeless Jewish traditions with the charm of their New York country club setting. As the processional began, Matt’s emotional reaction as he saw Sari for the first time under her veil was a moment to remember—his expression said it all.
Surrounded by family and friends, the couple stood beneath a stunning chuppah adorned with soft blush roses, peach blooms, and cascading greenery. Their closest loved ones looked on as they exchanged vows, drank from the Kiddush cup, and shared in the sacred rituals.
With the breaking of the glass came cheers and applause from the crowd, as Sari and Matt sealed the ceremony with a kiss. The love and joy in the room were palpable, setting the tone for the celebration to come.
A Joyful Reception Filled with Love and Celebration
Sari and Matt’s reception was an unforgettable celebration of love and tradition, beginning with their grand entrance into a beautifully transformed room. Lush florals, glowing candles, and a ceiling of twinkling lights created a magical atmosphere. Guests enjoyed signature cocktails and heartfelt toasts, where laughter and happy tears set the tone for an evening full of emotion.
The parent dances brought tender moments as Matt danced with his mother and Sari with her father, their smiles lighting up the room. The Horah stole the show, with Sari and Matt lifted high on chairs as friends and family surrounded them in a joyful circle of tradition and energy.
After a sweet cake cutting (featuring a stunning floral-adorned cake), the party took off. Beneath the twinkling lights, the dance floor came alive as the live band brought nonstop energy, from the couple’s captivating first dance to the guests dancing the night away.
