Queens Museum Wedding – Ariel & Anil

Congratulations are in order for Ariel and Anil, who recently celebrated their nuptials with a Queens Museum wedding! The first words that come to mind when thinking about their gorgeous event are: How grand! The open, contemporary design of Queens Museum makes it one of our favorite wedding venues. It’s just such a beautiful place to celebrate the love of a lifetime. And this was certainly the case for our amazing couple.

What we loved most about Ariel and Anil’s Big Day:

  • The happy couple looked absolutely in love as they embraced on the Museum’s spectacular Panorama. What’s not to love about Queens Museum, though? After all, it was the location for the United Nations General Assembly from 1946 to 1950. Its Unisphere, built in 1964 for the World’s Fair, is one of the most unique spots in New York City to take wedding photos. Queens Museum is not only an iconic landmark, but it’s also a magical space for a wedding celebration.
  • Showstopping. That’s the only way to describe the soft, romantic style of Ariel’s wedding gown. Her elegant mermaid silhouette dress with a sweep train was stunning. Anil couldn’t stop smiling as he shared a First Look with his beautiful bride. You could definitely tell that she took his breath away!
  • Anil looked sharp as he donned a black tux and bowtie. After sharing their First Look, the couple slipped outside to take photos with the incredible New York skyline in the background.
  • It was such a special day, as the couple was surrounded by their closest family members and friends. The bride’s parents walked her down the aisle as Anil looked anxiously on. After their vows were official, everyone moved through the fabulous art galleries into the reception area. Dinner and drinks were delicious, and everyone had best time dancing the night away. It was event that the couple and their guests will remember forever.
Ariel and Anil, thank you so much for letting us share in your joyful day. We wish you all the best as you embark on this wonderful union!
