Judy & Zeev are one of our fabulous 2008 couples.  We recently received pictures of their event from the talented Ken of Azzura Photography who captured the day.  Working with the couple and her family was a true joy and wonderful adventure.

The wedding and reception took place at the grand Hyatt Regency Bellevue, with incredible catering by Nosh Away.  This premiere kosher caterer kept the guests well fed throughout the night.  Prior to the ceremony there was a sushi station, carving station, and a mid-Eastern inspired station for guests to enjoy.  Prior to dinner  raspberry nectarine sorbet intermezzo was served in heart shaped ice sculptures.  After the incredible feast the foyer of the ballroom was transformed into a dessert paradise, complete with a flambe station with made-to-order bananas foster and cherries jubilee; creme puffs, French apple & lemon meringue tarts, petit fours, a fresh fruit display, an espresso cart, a chocolate fountain with dipping items such as brownie bites, marshmallows, lady fingers, rice krispy treats, and more.  Its a good thing they had all that sugar to keep them going…after all, the party continued past 2:00 am!

We worked closely with Rented Elegance to create a vision in Tiffany blue, white, and chocolate brown that reflected Judy & Zeev’s style & wedding colors.  Multiple styles of centerpieces created visual interest while white flowers, crystals, and candlelight tied everything together.  We found the perfect linens for the event at BBJ Linen & Pedersen’s Rentals.

Music was a high priority for this fun group, and we had not one, not two, but three incredible bands.  The Od Yishama Orchestra, Lady A & the Baby Blues Funk Band, and Shelley & the Curves all kept the guests entertained throughout the evening.  By the end of the night Lady A had a new band member, the brides father Joel who took to the mic!

CameraRenter – make sure no one misses a moment of your wedding

The time of disposable cameras has passed; the waste that they produce, and the expense that they are simply cannot compete with the new option of digital cameras. For example, after buying twenty disposable cameras for each table at your wedding, collecting them all after the wedding, developing them, and realizing that most of the pictures are of your little cousins who had way too much fun with the camera, I’m sure you would be wishing that you had chosen CameraRenter; a new, hip company that we have begun to refer our clients to because the quality, and economic solution that they provide for photos at your wedding is unbeatable…

CameraRenter is a business dedicated to making your day as memorable as possible. This company simply mails easy-to-use digital photo/video cameras to you along with return postage. Next, your job is to place the cameras somewhere accessible to the guests (for best results in photos, the owner of the company suggests handing out the cameras before the ceremony or even before the rehearsal the day before) so that your friends and family can have a great time capturing every moment of your big day. And with each camera able to hold up to 450 photos, you will never want for more! Instructions on how to use the cameras are provided for each guest so that even Grandma and Grandpa will be snapping photos. Finally, after your event, you simply gather the cameras and send them back to the business whereupon the company creates a custom event website that is accessible to all who attended the wedding. You will be able to view the photos from your wedding within only two days after the company receives the cameras. Better yet, you are able to pick and choose the photos you would like to order and have sent directly to you.

The average time that it takes for photos from your wedding day to be developed and returned to you (if taken by a professional photographer) is about two months. Now, we don’t recommend foregoing a photographer by any means, because replacing quality of that level is impossible. However, if you are looking for a convenient and economic solution to replace the disposable camera idea, or to ease the unrelenting anticipation that waiting for photos can sometimes cause, then Camerarenter is the perfect choice for you. This new hip company provides a service like no other that you won’t want to miss!
